The 2025 BMW X5 M is an incredibly fast, luxurious, and capable midsize performance luxury SUV that tests the limits of what’s possible for its size.

Cons

Power, Ride and Handling

Driving Impressions

With a fantastic supply of horsepower and torque, a smooth-shifting transmission, and a race-tuned suspension, the 2025 BMW X5 M Competition is one of the most fun SUVs for just about any amount of money. BMW says the X5 M Competition can hit 60 mph from a stop in just 3.7 seconds and can carry on to a top speed of 155 mph. Opt for the M Driver’s Package, and maximum speed is raised to 177 mph. Brisk indeed.
That said, the X5 M’s focus on cornering competence does require a bit of trade-off with outright passenger comfort. That’s not to say the X5 M is too harsh, but it’s likely to be harsher than some buyers would prefer. Fortunately, that’s where the non-M variants of the X5 shine.
Fuel Economy
Gas mileage is one of the only things the 2025 BMW X5 M Competition can’t do well. Its combined rating of 15 mpg is weighed down by a 13 mpg city rating and 18 mpg on the highway. Neither of those figures is likely to impress, and the X5 M’s range suffers as a result, at 328 miles compared to the M60i’s 416-mile range or the sDrive40i/xDrive40i, which achieve 548 miles of range on a tank.
Compared to the competition, the X5 M’s fuel economy is about on par, but still toward the back of the bunch. The GLS 63 AMG is rated for 15 mpg combined as well, while the Range Rover Sport SV manages 18 mpg combined, and the Porsche Cayenne Turbo (a plug-in hybrid with 24 miles of all-electric range) runs to an impressive 22 mpg combined.

Prestigious and Pumped-Up Exterior

Exterior

Prestigious and performance-focused, the 2025 X5 M’s exterior is at once instantly recognizable as a BMW and yet still fresh and modern. Individual elements for the X5 M’s appearance include large front air intakes on both sides and below the matte-black grille, plus black exterior mirror caps and badges, rear diffuser, and 4-inch dual-twin exhaust tailpipes.

FAQs

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

Monster hybrid power 
It won&#8217;t get the best gas mileage, but with 617 hp and a twin-turbo V8’s song, the X5 M’s powertrain is wonderfully responsive.
Bold acceleration 
Sure, some vehicles can accelerate to 60 mph in less time, but few are as large and luxurious as the X5 M Competition. For a face-melting family vehicle that’s not an EV, this is great.
Active exhaust system 
As one member of our staff put it, “Save your local exorcist in the nav system; that active exhaust sounds demonic.” Not bad for a hybrid, eh?
Fantastic handling 
It’s not just good for an SUV. The X5 M Competition handles incredibly well. Thank the excellent engineering of BMW’s finest, and the intelligent application of an adaptive suspension, smart traction management, and a responsive cockpit.
BMW Curved Display 
This large, high-res, colorful display sits behind the steering wheel and spans the center of the dashboard. It gives all the usual information and controls, but with a subtle curvature that ensures the driver is the focal point.
Driving Assistant Professional 
Bundling BMW’s Traffic Jam Assistant and the radar-and-camera-based active assistance of the Driving Assistant package, this $1,700 option is a smart pick for enhanced safety and easier commutes.

Premium and Practical Interior

Interior

The X5 M’s interior builds on the base model’s spacious, comfortable, and premium cabin with M-specific details like an M logo in the ambient light bar below the front passenger trim, an M leather steering wheel, full Merino leather upholstery, and carbon fiber gearshift paddles.
Behind the second row is 33.9 cubic feet of cargo space. Fold down those rear seats, and it more than doubles to 72.3 cubic feet. The GLS 63 AMG has a bit more space at 42.7 cubic feet behind the second row or 84.7 cubic feet with the second row folded. The Cayenne Turbo S E-Hybrid offers just 22.7/56.6 cubic feet, placing the X5 right in the middle.

Under the Hood

Last year, BMW launched a new V8 engine with a 48-volt mild hybrid system for the X5 M Competition, which carries forward to the 2025 model. This 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 is paired with the electric assist for a total system output of 617 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque. All X5 Ms use an 8-speed automatic transmission and come standard with xDrive all-wheel drive (AWD).
<h3>4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
BMW’s new-vehicle and powertrain warranties are co-extensive, lasting four years or 50,000 miles, whichever happens first. This is a typical warranty length and coverage for the luxury segment, although some brands do offer longer warranties. BMW also includes scheduled maintenance for three years or 36,000 miles, which is a bit better than typical for the segment. Hybrid batteries in the relevant models are covered by an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty.
<h3>Safety</h3>
The 2025 BMW X5 scores a 4-Star rating overall from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>), plus a Top Safety Pick+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>).

What's new for

The 2025 BMW X5 M sees no significant changes after last year’s introduction of the new V8 and 48-volt mild-hybrid system for the X5 M Competition.

2026Jeep Cherokee

2026Jeep Cherokee Archives - Kelley Blue Book

Jeep

Jeep Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The 2026 Jeep Cherokee returns to the brand’s lineup as an all-new model with rugged appeal and a new hybrid powertrain.

Bold and brawny design

Not surprisingly, from our first glimpses of the 2026 Cherokee, it looks like a downsized version of the Grand Cherokee. We count this as a win. Jeep’s teaser images of the 2026 Cherokee show a big and bold grille, slightly boxy design, aggressive LED headlights, and an available two-tone color option with a black roof. We can’t wait to see it in person.

Rugged, tech-forward interior

The 2026 Jeep Cherokee will remain a 2-row/5-passenger SUV. We’ve yet to see inside it, but if current Jeep interior trends hold, it should be a nice place with a fine balance of utility and technology. We’re fans of Jeep’s Uconnect infotainment systems and screens. And we can only dream that the wonderful, high-end McIntosh audio system available in the Jeep Grand Cherokee could trickle down to the Cherokee.

The Cherokee holds a special place in the heart of Jeep loyalists thanks to its adventure-ready capability and a legacy that goes back decades. Its life has been on pause for the past few years, however, when the model went radio silent after the 2023 model year. Thankfully, it still has stories to tell and experiences to create with an all-new model just around the corner. Jeep says the 2026 Cherokee “honors its rich history with an innovative eye toward the future.” Much about the 2026 Jeep Cherokee is still to be announced, but we know it will offer a hybrid powertrain and will slot between the larger <a href="https://www.kbb.com/jeep/grand-cherokee/">Grand Cherokee</a> and smaller <a href="https://www.kbb.com/jeep/compass/">Compass</a> when it arrives in late 2025.

2026 Jeep Cherokee Pricing

While official pricing is still a ways off, we can make an educated guess of its starting price from its place in the Jeep lineup. We estimate the 2026 Jeep Cherokee will start in the low $30,000 range. That would slot it between the roughly $38,500 starting price of the Grand Cherokee and the sub-$29,000 figure of the Compass.
The compact SUV segment is the most popular and most competitive there is. That means the new Jeep Cherokee will be facing competitors spanning from the best-selling <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/cr-v/">Honda CR-V</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/rav4/2026/">Toyota RAV4</a> — which will go hybrid-only in 2026 — to rivals that also have a more rugged and adventurous spirit such as the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/subaru/forester/">Subaru Forester</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mazda/cx-50/">Mazda CX-50</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/gmc/terrain/2025/">GMC Terrain</a>. All start in the low $30K range. Rivals such as the CR-V, RAV4, CX-50, Forester, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/tucson/">Hyundai Tucson</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/sportage/">Kia Sportage</a> also offer hybrid powertrains, just like the 2026 Jeep Cherokee.

Engine and Transmission

Jeep has yet to reveal what exactly will power the Cherokee, except to say it will offer “a new, efficient and powerful hybrid propulsion option from Jeep.” We would expect the powertrain to have at least 200 horsepower to remain competitive with rivals. In the past, front- or all-wheel drive was offered in the Cherokee, but all-wheel drive became standard in its last model year and is standard in the smaller Compass. So it might make sense for this new model to have all-wheel drive standard as well, just like rivals the Subaru Forester and Mazda CX-50.
If the Jeep Cherokee follows in the footsteps of its cousin, the Dodge Hornet, which is available as a plug-in hybrid or gasoline-only, it will use a traditional geared transmission vs. a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT).

What's New For 2026

The Jeep Cherokee is <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/jeep-teases-reborn-cherokee/">all-new for the 2026 model year</a>, featuring fresh design and technology, plus a hybrid powertrain. The 2026 Jeep Cherokee is set to go on sale in late 2025.

$48,500 - $53,499 Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The 2026 Acura RSX is a midsize luxury all-electric SUV with coupe-like looks and technology galore.

Given the 2026 RSX&#8217;s underpinnings will be derived from the Honda 0 platform cars, the RSX is likely to achieve around 300 miles of range on a charge. Handling and acceleration performance are likely to be a focus for development as well, given the RSX&#8217;s namesake and Acura&#8217;s positioning as a tech- and performance-forward premium brand. A front-wheel drive (FWD) base model and available all-wheel drive (AWD) are also likely.

The original Acura RSX was an attractive sport coupe built from the 2002 to 2006 model years, but the 2026 Acura RSX is reinventing the nameplate in the form of an all-electric premium SUV. The RSX will be the second electric vehicle from the Acura brand after the ZDX, but it will be Honda’s first independently developed EV.
In fact, the upcoming RSX electric SUV will have some cutting-edge technology seeing its first application in a production Honda, including the new ASIMO OS operating system Honda showed at this year’s CES. The 2026 RSX will also be the first EV produced at the Honda EV Hub in Ohio.
Details on the new RSX are scarce at the moment, but it’s due to enter production later in 2025, so it won’t be too long before more information is available.

While it&#8217;s too early to know the RSX&#8217;s pricing with any certainty, given the vehicle&#8217;s size and positioning below the roughly $65,000-$75,000 range of the ZDX, it&#8217;s likely the RSX will start around $50,000 and rise from there with extra equipment and performance packages.

The 2026 Acura RSX will be an all-new premium electric SUV when it reaches production later this year.

Boasting plenty of advanced safety technology, impressive fuel economy, and an affordable price, the 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid is a standout in the subcompact SUV class.

<ul>
<li>Tight rear legroom</li>
<li>Light on sound insulation</li>
</ul>

Power, Ride, and Handling

The Corolla Cross Hybrid makes 196 horsepower, which is enough muscle to accelerate from standstill to 60 mph in just over seven seconds. That’s more than acceptable for an SUV in this class, and in our extended testing of this vehicle we came to especially appreciate the electric portion of the hybrid gas-electric powertrain. The Corolla Cross Hybrid just always seemed to have something extra to give thanks to the extra propulsion of those electrons.
Over the years, Toyota has achieved plenty of success by making its vehicles one less thing for owners to think about on the school run or the commute, getting the job done without any fuss. The Corolla Cross Hybrid SUV is like that — easy to drive, if not especially athletic. The ride is comfortable. The cabin is mostly quiet, but we agree with some of our consumer reviews that more sound insulation would be welcome.
Fuel Economy
In combined (mixed city and highway) driving, the Corolla Cross Hybrid achieves 42 mpg. For context, check out the combustion-only Corolla Cross with all-wheel drive, which returns 30 mpg combined. Driving 15,000 miles a year, this hybrid model will use about 142 fewer gallons of gas. That’s a saving of $461, assuming the price of gas is $3.25 a gallon. By the way, the Kia Niro Hybrid delivers between 49 and 53 mpg, depending on the trim level, but it doesn&#8217;t have all-wheel drive.

Fetching Exterior

There’s a bit of a scaled-down <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/rav4/">RAV4</a> look to the 2026 Corolla Cross Hybrid. Its new face with a bolder grille projects a more capable attitude. The Corolla Cross Hybrid is lower and shorter than the RAV4 Hybrid, which should make parking even easier. Yet the Corolla Cross Hybrid can still emphasize the utility in “sport utility vehicle.”
Toyota has also taken steps to distinguish this hybrid from its conventional counterpart. The designs at the front and rear are slightly different, 18-inch alloy wheels are available, and the SE and XSE offer two-tone paint jobs. These involve Sonic Silver, Cavalry Blue, or Acidic Blast (a kind of greenish gold) with a black roof.

Our Favorite Features And Tech

Hybrid power 
It makes so much sense to enhance a gasoline engine with an electric motor. It provides more thrust while maximizing fuel economy. A win-win situation. Toyota was a pioneer and now a master of hybrid systems.
All-wheel drive 
All-wheel drive is a useful asset in rough weather, and every Corolla Cross Hybrid variant is fitted with it.
Wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto 
The ability to integrate a phone into the infotainment system and use apps like Waze is made even better by not needing to get said phone out of a pocket or purse. This is standard across the range. We also appreciate not fussing with cables.
Toyota Safety System 3.0 
This is Toyota’s collective term for a set of advanced driver assistance features that come as standard in every new Corolla Cross Hybrid SUV. As well as the now common forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, there’s adaptive cruise control with lane-keeping assist, pedestrian and motorcycle detection, plus intersection assistance.
Rear Seat Reminder 
If a pet, child, or Aunt Lucy has been mistakenly left in the back seat while the driver is just about to lock up and walk away (no judgement, there’s a lot going on these days) this handy and standard feature will provide the necessary alert.
Integrated Streaming 
A Wi-Fi subscription includes this feature, where Apple Music and Amazon Music customers can bring their accounts into the Corolla Cross Hybrid.

Good Enough Interior

Yes, there are the special hybrid-related graphics available on the display, showing drivers how and where the energy is flowing at any given moment. But the cabin of the Corolla Cross Hybrid stays mainly within the typical Toyota boundaries of acceptable design and workable ergonomics.
The particular attributes of the Corolla Cross Hybrid include a raised driving position and decent rear headroom. We like the front seats in particular — they’re comfortable and well-shaped.
A leather-wrapped steering wheel comes in at the SE trim level, which is where we would start. Sound insulation seems better here than in the less-expensive S. It also adds blind-spot monitoring to its list of standard equipment.
One minor disappointment is that rear legroom (32 inches) starts to become tight once passengers get over 5 feet tall. The Niro, for instance, provides nearly 40 inches. Cargo space could be sufficient compensation. Behind the rear seats is an area of 21.5 cubic feet, enough for a few golf bags. With the second row folded, the storage increases to 44 cubic feet. However, here the Niro also bests the Corolla Cross Hybrid with 22.8/63.7 cubic-feet.

Riding on the same foundation as the venerable Corolla, the Corolla Cross Hybrid delivers affordability, reliability, and utility in a wonderfully gas-stingy package. It’s just the right size for storming urban frontiers and squeezing into parking spots that give larger vehicles nightmares. We also like its raised seating position and standard all-wheel drive. Moreover, it’s loaded with standard advanced technology, including a swarm of active safety features.
The non-hybrid <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/corolla-cross/">Toyota Corolla Cross</a> is reviewed separately.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hybrid/best-hybrid-suvs/">hybrid SUVs</a>, including the Corolla Cross Hybrid.

2026 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid Pricing

We anticipate the 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid to start a bit under $30,500, including the factory-to-dealer delivery charge.
<table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="width: 50%;">Corolla Cross Hybrid S</td>
<td style="width: 50%;">$30,500 (estimated)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="width: 50%;">Corolla Cross Hybrid SE</td>
<td style="width: 50%;">$32,000 (estimated)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="width: 50%;">Corolla Cross Hybrid XSE</td>
<td style="width: 50%;">$33,500 (estimated)</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

For the modest upcharge, we’d pick the SE over the S because of the volume of extras it has on its standard features list. For example, LED projector headlights, turn signals integrated into the outboard mirrors, two additional USB-C ports, wireless smartphone charging, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and more are standard additions on the SE. Oh, and the SE is more popular with buyers.
Looking at potential rivals, the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/niro/">Kia Niro</a> Hybrid starts at about $2,000 less but isn&#8217;t available with all-wheel drive. The larger <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/tucson-hybrid/">Hyundai Tucson Hybrid</a> has all-wheel drive as standard, with prices beginning at about $4,000 more than the Corolla Cross Hybrid. The non-hybrid <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/corolla-cross/">Corolla Cross</a> starts at roughly $4,300 less. However, when the gasoline-only Corolla Cross is equipped with all-wheel drive — which is standard on the Corolla Cross Hybrid — the price gap narrows. We think the Corolla Cross Hybrid in general is a terrific value.
Before buying a new Corolla Cross Hybrid SUV, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should be paying. Toyota vehicles tend to be among the strongest performers in terms of resale values. And remember, the more value retained means the more you have to put down on your next vehicle.

Engine & Transmission

Although there’s a hybrid version of the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/corolla/">Corolla</a> compact sedan, it doesn’t have the same powertrain as this Corolla Cross Hybrid subcompact SUV. The differences are more power in the Corolla Cross Hybrid — 196 horsepower, as opposed to the sedan’s 138 hp — and the Corolla Cross Hybrid has all-wheel drive as standard. An automatic transmission of the continuously variable kind powers the wheels. For the sake of comparison, at 139 hp, the Niro&#8217;s output doesn&#8217;t come close.
The Corolla Cross Hybrid doesn&#8217;t have a conventional all-wheel-drive system with driveshafts, locking differentials, and so on. Instead, a dedicated electric motor turns the rear wheels. This setup is also more muscular than the gasoline-only Corolla Cross (which has 169 horsepower). Toyota doesn’t provide total torque figures for its hybrid vehicles, but it feels like a healthy amount from the driver’s seat.
Maximum towing capacity is 1,500 pounds.
3-year/36,000-Mile Warranty
Toyota’s new-vehicle warranty lasts three years or 36,000 miles, whichever happens first. Powertrains are covered for five years or 60,000 miles. These are typical among mainstream manufacturers. Hybrid batteries have their own warranty of 10 years or 150,000 miles. Toyota also provides free scheduled maintenance for the first two years or 25,000 miles.
Safety Ratings
The Corolla Cross Hybrid is still awaiting full scores from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). However, every 2026 Corolla Cross model comes with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0. It includes automatic forward emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, lane-tracing assist, high-beam assist, and adaptive cruise control.

What's new for 2026

Benefiting from a <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/2026-toyota-corolla-cross-gets-facelift/">mid-cycle refresh</a>, the 2026 Corolla Cross Hybrid sports a new front fascia with a body-colored grille. Cavalry Blue is a fresh paint color now available and can be mated with a contrasting black roof on the SE and XSE trims. Inside, a modestly updated front center console is standard across all three trim levels. <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/">Toyota</a> is making a 10.5-inch infotainment touchscreen available, too. Gone is the Nightshade trim level.
When Will the 2026 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid Arrive?

Motivating the Corolla Cross is 169 horsepower from a 4-cylinder engine. It takes more than nine seconds to accelerate (if that’s the right word) from a standstill to 60 mph. The Mazda CX-30 has 191 horsepower and reaches 60 mph in about eight seconds, which is hardly fast, but still one of the sprightlier members of its class.
This combination of a so-so engine and continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) will dull the glint in any enthusiast’s eye. Moreover, we think the restart action of the fuel-saving engine off/on feature could be sweeter. That said, most prospective owners won’t care about such quibbles.
The same easy demeanor found in many Toyota vehicles is the main attribute when sitting behind the wheel of a Corolla Cross subcompact SUV. We’ve found that the effort required is minimal. It rides higher than its sedan namesake, giving that elevated driving position loved by so many. And the ride quality is more than acceptable. When all-wheel drive is fitted, the rear suspension has a more sophisticated multilink setup instead of the standard torsion beam arrangement, bringing ride and handling advantages. However, it does rob some cargo room.
Fuel Economy
That shortage of muscle does have an upside. With standard front-wheel drive (FWD), the Corolla Cross achieves 32 mpg in combined city/highway driving. Factor in all-wheel drive, and that figure drops by 2 mpg. That latter figure is still one mile per gallon better than the Mazda CX-30 (non-turbo, all-wheel drive). Honda HR-V owners will also have slightly higher fuel bills, getting a combined 28 mpg (front-wheel drive) or 27 mpg (all-wheel drive).

Attractive Wrapper

The 2026 refresh brings with it a somewhat more compelling nose with a bolder grille signature.
Otherwise, the curb appeal is conservative enough to please most of the people most of the time. The Corolla Cross SUV is about 5 inches shorter than the RAV4 and a couple of inches lower. Therefore, it’s large enough to be practical yet easy to park. It also offers 8.1 inches of ground clearance, more than most subcompact SUVs.
