In its 2025 form the X5 remains the honest all-rounder: 381 hp, 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds and a composure that holds from Tbilisi traffic to the climb toward Gudauri.
In its 2025 form the X5 keeps the recipe and sharpens the ingredients: a 381 hp mild-hybrid straight-six, 5.4 seconds to a hundred, and a cabin where the curved display finally matches the quality of the seats. It is quick without theatre and comfortable without softness — the all-rounder's all-rounder.
Here it performs the full Georgian repertoire: weekday Tbilisi, the airport run, five people and ski bags up to Gudauri, wine luggage back from Kakheti. Delivery, insurance and a second driver come without drama. If you plan to rent a BMW X5 in Tbilisi, the newest one is the easiest yes.
The 2025 X5 opens with numbers that read like a sports saloon's: 381 hp, 0 to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds, an electronically capped 250 km/h. What the figures do not convey is the silence in which all of it happens; the current car isolates the cabin so well that speed becomes something you check rather than feel. Rental of the new X5 in Georgia starts from $300 per day, with full insurance included and the option of a driver or self-drive.
Inside, this generation is closer to a lounge than a cockpit, which matters over Georgian distances. Tbilisi to Kazbegi is a morning; Tbilisi to Batumi is an afternoon; the X5 compresses both. Five passengers travel first class, and the raised stance deals quietly with the country's occasional surprises in road surface, in any season including deep winter around Gudauri.
