The BMW i5, introduced in 2023 as part of the eighth-generation 5 Series (G60), represents a pivotal shift in BMW's move toward electric mobility, combining luxury with cutting-edge performance.
Exclusively electric, the i5 offers two configurations: the rear-wheel-drive eDrive40 with 335 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque, and the all-wheel-drive M60 xDrive (AWD) delivering up to 590 hp and 586 lb-ft of torque.
Both models utilize a single-speed automatic transmission for smooth power delivery, marking a significant departure from the internal combustion engines of earlier 5 Series generations.
