BMW X5 Hybrid was first brought to the country by PT BMW Indonesia in the event Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS) 2016. Unfortunately BMW has not intended to market this plug-in hybrid car officially in Indonesia. The biggest problem is the unclear government regulations on electric and hybrid cars.

Currently, one unit that has been present will be used for educational purposes and build the attention of the government and society on environmentally friendly technologies. However Autocar Indonesia got a chance to try a car that there is only one in Indonesia is for a deeper introduction.

By design, X5 xDrive40e is not unlike the variant of diesel or gasoline X5 variant. You may only feel the difference when you see there are two gas tank caps in this car and also when you see the 'eDrive' logo on the stern. The rest are all the same.


Inside the cabin there is little difference, because BMW plug-in hybrid has a characteristic with blue color so that the feel in the cabin there is a blue element. Then there is the difference from the presence of the eDrive button in the middle panel near the drive mode. From the instrument panel is nothing different, there is only a battery image to show its capacity only.

X5 plug-in hybrid technology is the same as that of the BMW i8. The difference in i8 consumers who buy the car will be given a wallbox (charging the battery) to be installed at home. Well if this X5 can not, because yes indeed the car also has not been sold.
