BMW X5 xDrive40e M Sport (2017–2019): Luxury, Efficiency and Power for Rent in Pattaya

If you're looking for a car that combines the status of a premium SUV, the dynamics of a sporty M Sport version, and the efficiency of a hybrid powertrain, the BMW X5 xDrive40e M Sport is the perfect choice for your trips around Thailand. It's one of the most technologically advanced crossovers of its time, available for rent from MAKS Car Rental.

Technical Specifications

The BMW X5 xDrive40e is a plug-in hybrid version of the legendary F15-generation crossover, combining a turbocharged petrol engine with an electric motor.

Powertrain

• Engine: 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, petrol — 245 hp
• Electric motor: 113 hp
• Combined system output: 313 hp
• Combined torque: 450 Nm
• Transmission: 8-speed automatic
• Drivetrain: all-wheel drive, xDrive

Performance

• 0–100 km/h acceleration: 6.8 seconds
• Top speed: 210 km/h

Fuel Consumption

• Combined consumption (hybrid mode): 3.3 to 3.7 L per 100 km
• On petrol engine without charging: around 9–10 L per 100 km

Electric Driving Range

• Electric-only range: up to 31 km
• Top speed in electric mode: 120 km/h

This range is enough for city driving or a trip to the nearest beach without using the petrol engine at all.

Charging Time

• From a standard household outlet: around 2 hours 45 minutes
• From a wallbox charging station: on average 1.5–2 hours

Trunk Volume

500 liters — enough for the luggage of 3–4 passengers, with the rear seats folding down for extra space.

Exterior

The BMW X5 in M Sport trim looks striking and assertive. The car features a sporty aerodynamic body kit: enlarged air intakes in the front bumper, side skirts, and a distinctive M-style rear bumper with dual exhaust tip design. Large alloy wheels (19–20 inches) in the signature M Sport design emphasize the model's sporty character. The signature kidney grille, LED lighting, and the illuminated charging port on the front fender reveal this X5 as a high-tech hybrid rather than an ordinary SUV.

Interior

The BMW X5 M Sport cabin combines premium finishing with thoughtful ergonomics. The sport seats with side bolstering are upholstered in quality leather, and the M-style steering wheel features perforated inserts. The dashboard and center console are made of soft-touch plastic with aluminum and carbon-fiber accents. The iDrive infotainment system with a large display, climate control, panoramic sunroof, and spacious cabin make every ride comfortable for both driver and passengers. Despite housing the battery pack, BMW engineers preserved the cabin's practicality and a generous trunk capacity.

Where to Go with a BMW X5 from Pattaya

All-wheel drive, a comfortable suspension, and solid range make this car an excellent choice for both day trips and longer journeys along Thailand's eastern coast. Here are three popular destinations within a 50–300 km radius of Pattaya:

Khao Yai National Park (~200 km)

One of Thailand's largest and oldest national parks, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Waterfalls, tropical jungle, wild elephants, and gibbons make it a fantastic destination for a day trip into nature.

Koh Samet via Ban Phe Pier (~80 km)

A comfortable drive to Ban Phe Pier, from where a ferry takes you to one of the most beautiful islands on the East Coast, with white-sand beaches and crystal-clear water — a wonderful alternative to the more touristy Pattaya.

Chanthaburi (~180 km)

A city known as Thailand's "gemstone capital." Here you can visit the sapphire and ruby market, an old Catholic cathedral, durian and mangosteen orchards, and enjoy the atmosphere of a quiet provincial Thai town.
