The i5 brilliantly embodies the 5 Series' commitment to electric mobility. Styling is remarkably similar to that of its conventionally powered sibling. An 84.3kWh battery feeds the electric motors in the only available model, with all-wheel drive: the 389-hp xDrive40 with a range of 447 km. Well-balanced handling and fast charging capability of up to 205 kW complete the package. The 593-hp M60, capable of traveling 407 km, is not returning in the 2026 lineup.
