    BMW i5

    The BMW i5 is the fully electric member of the 5 Series family, bringing BMW's executive sedan formula into the EV era. It offers the same broad cabin space and premium presentation as the latest 5 Series, but with quiet electric performance, instant torque and a more technology-led driving experience. In Australia, the i5 gives luxury-car customers an alternative to combustion-powered executive sedans without moving into a high-riding SUV. The range includes comfort-focused versions and stronger M Performance grades, giving it a wide brief from refined commuting to rapid long-distance touring. Its appeal is the way it combines traditional BMW executive-car polish with the smoothness and low running noise of an electric drivetrain.
