Auto123 gets in a first drive of the 2024 BMW i5, the all-electric version of the new 5 Series.
Lisbon, Portugal - For the first time, BMW is presenting a 5 Series that will be both gasoline-powered and electric. The seventh generation of a sedan that has sold more than 10 million units globally since its debut in 1972, the 2024 version will launch first with an i5 530 gas-fed model with a 2.0L engine, followed by an i5 40 xDrive version. After that, a 550 plug-in hybrid variant with a V6 engine, then the i5 M60 xDrive and finally the next-generation M5.
The i5 is a little roomier than the previous 5 Series. BMW has increased the wheelbase by 0.8 inches, which slightly improves rear legroom. Seating has also been redesigned, with sports seats fitted as standard and multi-contour seats available on other versions.

Passengers can play games or watch video content thanks to apps available on the digital interface while the car recharges.
These figures are sufficient, according to BMW, to achieve 0-100 km/h times of 3.8 seconds. Top speed is limited to 230 km. 2024 BMW i5, profile Photo: B.Charette Driving the 2024 BMW i5Like the i4 before it, the i5 retains the dynamic driving spirit typical of BMW models.
