BMW presenter & agrave; several new battery-powered models over the next few years. Already we know that among these there will be; the electric version of the 5 Series. A German press report tries to add some details on the model that will most likely be called; BMW i5 and that it will go directly confronted with battery-powered sedans of the caliber of the new Mercedes EQE.
ALSO IN M VERSION
According to what we learn, the sedan will be born; based on the new generation of the 5 Series which will be; presented in the autumn of 2023. The launch of the 100% electric variant should be contextual. The vehicle will pogger & agrave; on BMW's CLAR platform which allows the use of classic and electrified engines. The powertrain will be a fifth generation eDrive . This means that it will have; much in common with that present in the new BMW i4 and iX.
No precise technical details have been provided but the report shows that the BMW i5 will be; also proposed in M version with a power of about 515 kW (700 CV) . There will certainly be two electric motors and therefore four-wheel drive as well. No precise details, however, regarding the capacity; of the batteries except that the top of the range could have about 100 kWh. It comes to think that easily the electric sedan will be & agrave; proposed with accumulators of different capacities.
As for the interior, the report shows that we will find a dashboard with a layout similar to that of the BMW i4 and iX. A choice that is not surprising given that the cockpits of the new cars are more and more; rich in technology. With the debut scheduled for the end of 2023, we need to & agrave; probably wait until 2024 to see the car on the road. Like all reports, this too must obviously be taken with due caution.
In any case, the BMW i5 will be there; and therefore all that remains is to wait for further information on the development of the car. A first idea about design, however, can be done; have thanks to some spy photos of the new generation 5 Series forklifts.
