This year, BMW is gracing the market with an all-new, entirely electric four-door luxury sedan. The BMW i5 is an electric car designed to wow in every way, combining bespoke heritage character with elements of futuristic design and world-class BMW craftsmanship. Get ready for sublime handling, upscale creature comforts, and enough horsepower to put a sports car to shame. Let’s take a closer look at BMW’s latest creation.
Meet the All-New BMW i5 Electric Car
Impressive Speed
The i5 showcases superb BMW engine engineering, with up to 590 horsepower delivered by a dual-motor engine with eBoost in the sporty M60 trim. The i5’s second trim option, the eDrive40, optimizes on battery range instead, reaching 295 miles on a single charge. Both versions are fast, far-ranging, and easy to charge wherever you are at one of Electrify America’s nationwide network of stations.
Commanding Design
There’s no denying that the i5 is a beautiful car with a great deal of presence on the road. Its exterior contours carry the commanding elegance of classic BMW vehicles, with additional sleek almost futuristic design elements such as the red or blue M sports brake calipers behind the wheels and the optional illuminated kidney grill. The result is a striking car that looks as good as it handles.
Durable Sports Brakes
The standard M-Series Sports Brakes on the i5 are exceptionally heat-resistant and durable. These brakes are enhanced by an electronic actuator and vacuumless brake booster. Spirited drivers who want to make full use of the i5’s sky-high horsepower can rest assured that the brakes are equally powerful in terms of stopping power.
Agile, Athletic Handling
Both of the i5 trims offer superior suspension for nimble handling, no matter how quickly you’re driving or cornering. The i5 has a double-wishbone coil-spring front suspension and a multilink air-spring rear suspension working in perfect unison.
You can expect the world-famous BMW suspension with computer-controlled sensors and shock absorbers to deliver a consistently smooth ride. And any time you fancy an extra boost to road traction and handling, you can simply switch to four-wheel drive.
Openair Moonroof
The sense of space inside the i5’s already spacious interior is boosted by a standard moonroof that opens, closes, or shades over at the touch of a button. Enjoy a spectacular view of the sky or enjoy the fresh air when driving out into nature.
Curved Dashboard Display
The futuristic, customizable 14.9-inch curved dashboard display of the i5 combines the traditional control cluster and infotainment screen into one. The curved shape reduces the risk of glare and makes for more immersive and intuitive interaction and vehicle control.
