The BMW X5 M60i gives you more than enough performance without sacrificing on-road comfort, which affords it a big livability advantage over the spicier X5 M.

The BMW X5 M60i may have a new badge, but the twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 under the hood still makes 523 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque, the same as it did prior to its minor glow-up for 2024.

That motive force is fed through an eight-speed automatic transmission to all four wheels.

There's enough on tap to send the X5 M60i to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds, and it crosses the quarter-mile in 12.1 seconds at 113 mph.

The M60i's stoppers will bring this 5360-pound SUV down from 70 mph in 157 feet and from 100 mph in 325 feet.

On our 75-mph highway fuel economy loop, the X5 achieved 24 mpg, 2 mpg above the EPA's estimate.

The X5 disappointed on the skidpad with a 0.86-g result, continuing the X5's recent trend of delivering subpar grip figures.

Thankfully, despite some thin-sidewalled summer tires, the X5 M60i's ride is quite cushy when the standard adaptive dampers are in their most pliant default setting.

At $105,745 as tested, the X5 M60i is an expensive proposition, but even with more than $10,000 of options tacked on, its price stays well below the X5 M's $123,295 window sticker.

If you're willing to sacrifice a bit of performance compared to the X5 M, the X5 M60i rewards with plenty of accessible street performance and few, if any, luxury-adjacent drawbacks.

Keep going to check out even more pictures of the 2024 BMW X5 M60i.

The Best Hybrid SUVs For Less Than $45,000 According To Consumer Reports
If there’s one thing American car buyers love, it’s crossovers and SUVs. Sedans and wagons may still get the job done, but there’s just something we love about a little extra ride height, a taller seating position and the practicality of a liftgate. One downside, though, is that not only are new car prices still pretty high, but SUVs often don’t get the best gas mileage, either.
