BMW i5

The BMW i5 is a luxurious, performance-oriented electric sedan that serves as the electric counterpart to the standard 5 Series. It comes with a standard wheelbase and an 83.9 kWh battery pack that sends 601 hp to all four wheels, which is why it delivers blistering acceleration and a claimed top speed of 230 km/h. All that performance comes at a high price, so those looking for a more comfort-oriented i5 can check out its LWB version instead, which also costs almost Rs 40 lakh less.

i5 Highlights

On Target

A fun-to-drive electric sedan that can sweep away several high-performance, engine-derived sedans, while also delivering a proper luxury experience.

What We Like

Does 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds and has a claimed range of up to 516 km. Tuned to drive like a genuine M division car.

What We Don'

t Like

Highlight 4

Considerably more expensive than its own long-wheelbase version, while also offering less range. It also gets just 490 litres of boot space, lower than the standard version.

Interior

The BMW i5 is actually the real 5 Series, the one we've all been reading about for decades. The current G68, which comes to India with an extended wheelbase as standard, doesn't drive like a typical BMW at all, in fact, it barely has that character in its veins. It's too focused on delivering a comfortable ride to match what the E-Class, its main rival, offers. Here, the i5, with its AWD setup, 609 PS, and standard wheelbase, brings back exactly that feeling. It's sharp, progressive, and makes you fall in love with driving all over again. That said, it is genuinely expensive, and being electric, the claimed range of 516 km feels a bit short by today's standards. So this one's really made for a select few, people willing to trade the price and everything that comes with it, just to experience this ultimate driving machine.

Gets rear-wheel steering, M Sport brakes, and adaptive suspension

M-specific interior touches like Veganza leather and a red steering wheel marker for centre position

What could have been better

Should I buy the i5?

If you want a serious performance sedan with technologies like AWD, rear wheel steering, 795 Nm of torque, all in an electric powertrain, then BMW i5 M60 is the car that will satiate your desires. This is the electric equivalent of BMW M5 as it comes with several M specific changes, in order to elevate the fun to drive quotient. Buy this for all these factors, plus the eloquent interior and driving feel of the brand 5 Series.
