The F15 and G05 are the two X5s most people shop for. Here’s how they differ.
| F15 | G05 | |
|---|---|---|
| Years | 2013 to 2018 | 2018 onwards, facelifted in 2023 |
| Engines | Diesels including xDrive30d, 40d and M50d, petrol xDrive50i, xDrive40e plug-in hybrid, X5 M | Mild-hybrid diesels (30d, 40d), petrol (40i, M50i, M60i), plug-in hybrids (45e, 50e), X5 M |
| Seats | 5 or 7 (7 optional) | 5 or 7 (7 optional) |
| Technology | Earlier iDrive and analogue or semi-digital dials | Digital dials and a larger touchscreen, with a curved display from the facelift |
| Price | Usually cheaper to buy | Newer, so usually dearer |
Which holds its value better?
The G05 is newer, so it generally costs more, but both sell well. Condition, mileage, service history and spec matter more than the badge. M Sport trim, seven seats and a sought-after engine can all help.
