2024 BMW i5
Starting at $67.795

Highs: Punchy electric powertrains, nicely balanced ride and handling, nicely-trimmed cabin.
Lows: Some rivals offer more range, heavily digital dashboard may not appeal to everyone, less trunk space than in gas-powered 5-series.
Verdict: If an electric sedan with athletic moves, a refined ride, and a tech-forward take on luxury is what you're after, the BMW i5 fills that niche.

Overview

BMW's executive express is going electric with the mid-size 2024 i5 sedan, which will fill the gap between the 10Best award-winning i4 and the extra-premium i7 flagship. Like those two EV four-doors, the i5 is expected to blend driving pleasure with upscale creature comforts. Two powertrains are coming, starting with a rear-drive eDrive40 model with 335 horsepower. The dual-motor M60 xDrive boosts horsepower to a stout 590 ponies and provides all-wheel-drive traction. We had a chance to drive a prototype of the latter in France and came away impressed with its athleticism and satisfied with its onboard technology features. The i5 faces a growing number of medium-size luxury electric cars made to court moneyed buyers looking for eco-friendly choices. Among them are the Genesis Electrified G80 and the Mercedes-Benz EQE, as well as segment stalwarts such as the Porsche Taycan and the Tesla Model S.

What's New for 2024?

Debuting alongside a brand-new generation of the gasoline-powered 5-series, the i5 provides an EV option for those shopping BMW's mid-size sedan lineup. We expect to see it in BMW showrooms before the end of 2023.
Pricing and Which One to Buy

The price of the 2024 BMW i5 starts at $67.795 and goes up to $85.095 depending on the trim and options.
eDrive40: $67,795
M60 xDrive: $85,095

If you're looking to maximize range, the eDrive40 will be able to sail on for a bit longer than the performance-oriented M60 trim. We're driving enthusiasts, though, and we'd gladly trade a bit of range for extra horsepower and cornering grip.

EV Motor, Power, and Performance
Two i5 models are offered, starting with the 335-hp eDrive40, which drives the rear wheels via a single electric motor. A hotter M60 xDrive model adds a second electric motor on the front axle for a combined 590 hp. During our initial drive in an i5 M60 prototype, we were impressed by the sedan's agile handling, confidence-inspiring levels of cornering grip, and muscular dual-motor powertrain. A test drive of production models in Portugal reaffirmed those driving impressions and gave us a chance to appreciate the i5's refined ride over the area's pockmarked pavement, too. While there, we drove both the eDrive40 and M60 models, and we estimate that the more powerful of the two powertrains can rocket the i5 to 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds. M60 models also come with active anti-roll bars, a sporty suspension tune, wider tires, and rear-wheel steering, which are all intended to give the car a more athletic feel.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

The i5's cabin is just as spacious and posh as that of the gasoline-powered 5-series. The battery doesn't intrude on cabin space, but trunk space is slightly less generous here than in the 5-series. Leather upholstery is still available, but BMW is launching a new faux-leather upholstery called Veganza in the i5; a set of glass interior controls is also available and adds a classy touch to the sedan's cabin. Heated and ventilated front seats with massage are optional on the eDrive40 and standard on the M60 xDrive.

Super nice Exterior, but what did they do to the Interior? Looks like a random japanese or korean car, not a BMW.

I used to have a BMW Active 5 Hybrid which was the most luxusurious car I ever had. All possible equiment mounted and more insulated than I could imagine (made for demo in Scandinavian countries). I could not leave the car before 9 years. I then replaced it with a fully charged Electric BMW i4, ordered in 2021, received March 2022 (2 wheel drive with 90 km more range than 4 wheels'). It was close as well equipped, but insulation is missing on standard BMW. Still I prefer BMW before most other cars, at a Price I tas positively suppriced of, well competing on Price even with Chinese ones and with far better Quality. I am hoppe Even if miner of the lupus dissapeared. The electric car function excellent in all ways in a long, large, and very cold country.. Bravo BMW!

Был нормальный автомобиль для мужчин. Сейчас фиолетовая подсветка, дизайн задней всё для людей нетрадиционной ориентации. Всё эти дисплеи и блестяшки. Брутальность растворилась в моде. А был офигенный автомобиль. Про качество молчу.
