Meet the all-new 2024 BMW i5: an all-electric sedan with awesome power and elegant style. It lands in the lineup between the smaller i4 sedan and the full-size i7, showcasing minimal, modern appeal. Check out the three well-appointment models before you visit your neighborhood BMW dealer to get to know this innovative pick.

1. i5 eDrive40

The eDrive40 delivers 335 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, achieving an impressive 5.7-second zero-to-60 time. With this version of the i5, you’ll get the equivalent of 105 miles per gallon and up to 295 miles of range on a single charge. This electric sedan has a refined, comfortable interior with accommodations for five, with more than 17 cubic feet of trunk space.

The i5 comes standard with high-end driver assistance tech, including a rearview camera and the Active Driver Assistant system. It also features a 14.9-inch touchscreen that supports the wireless versions of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as wireless charging, a Wi-Fi hotspot, a 12.3-inch digital gauge display, and a premium Harman Kardon stereo. The cabin incorporates new Veganza faux leather upholstery and anthracite trim.

2. i5 xDrive40

The xDrive40 increases the car’s power to 389 hp, cutting the zero-to-60 time to just 5.2 seconds. This model swaps standard rear-wheel drive for the xDrive all-wheel-drive system and adds performance tires. With this trim, you’ll also have a sport boost mode that allows you to temporarily increase torque at the push of a button.

Like the eDrive40, the xDrive40 includes many advanced driver assistance features like traffic sign recognition, pedestrian detection, and forward collision warning. Both of the base trims also have blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, parking assistance, and forward automatic emergency braking.

3. i5 M60

The i5 M60 gives you another electric motor for a total of 590 horses and 586 pound-feet of torque, decreasing the zero-to-60 time to a blistering 3.7 seconds. This i5 model also adds driver-focused features like adaptive sport-tuned suspension, upgraded brakes, rear-wheel steering, and active anti-roll bars. It also has a convenient head-up display so you can see important info such as directions at a glance.

Enjoy an upgraded Bowers & Wilkins sound system as well as heated and ventilated front seats with a massaging function. Additional upgrades in the M60 include a moonroof, a heated steering wheel, heated rear seats, stop-and-go adaptive cruise control, a moonroof, and power sunshades.

Your wait for the ideal midsize electric sedan has ended with the introduction of the i5. Upgrade any of the three trims with the sophisticated M Sport package for additions like distinctive exterior lights, a rear spoiler, and a kidney-shaped illuminated grille. Contact BMW of Westbrook, Maine to test drive this brand-new model today.
