Premium European car brand BMW X5 xDrive45e Plug-in HYBRID launched in Nepal by Laxmi Premium. Officially BMW is not launched yet in Nepal due this covid-19 pandemic. Luxury range premium BMW X5 xDrive45e, the 2nd model evolution of the plug-in hybrid X5, which will go on sale in September 2020 in Nepal market for its premiure buyers.
The X5 Sports Activity Vehicle will be offered from Nepali rupees 4 Crore 15 Lakh 96 thousands .
The new version got a huge 24 kWh battery, but there is a catch, compared to the European version. In Europe, 21.6 kWh is usable and the range is up to 67-87 km (41.6-54 miles) WLTP depending on the version. In the U.S., the available battery capacity is surprisingly low – 17.06 kWh or just 71% of the total. We have no explanation about the 7 kWh buffer.
It surely affects the all-electric range of such a big vehicle, which is estimated at 30 miles (48 km) EPA. A lot less than in the case of upcoming Toyota RAV4 Prime and Ford Escape PHEV (respectively 42 miles and 37 miles). For now, none of those three new PHEVs got an official rating on the EPA’s website.

Classy and Premium Inside
The same overall theme applies to the inside of the cabin as well. Compared to a non-electrified X5, there isn’t really much to talk about. Our tester was wearing Vernasca Coffee leather on the inside and there were only a couple of things letting you know something was off.
The center console has a couple of different buttons on it, right next to the start button. They allow you to switch between different driving modes and they are labeled “Hybrid” or “Electric.”
