For the first time ever, the 5 Series is joined by an all-electric version dubbed i5. These sedans are slightly larger than the previous 5. The electric i5 is offered in single-motor rear-wheel-drive and two-motor all-wheel drive versions. The single-motor i5 eDrive40 produces 335 hp, and the two-motor M60 xDrive makes 590 hp. BMW claims between 239 to 310 miles of range depending on trim and configuration. The amount of available torque can be temporarily boosted with the touch of a button on both trims. The interior is luxurious and high-tech, featuring an all-digital instrument display and a massive 14.9-inch center touchscreen. The back seat and trunk are generously sized. A full suite of active safety and driver assistance features is standard.

We expect the 2026 i5 will have about average reliability when compared to the average new car. This prediction is based on limited data from the 2024 and 2025 models, and the BMW brand score.
