BMW is set to make a splash with their upcoming model, the i5. This electric version of the BMW 5-Series will be the most technologically advanced yet and will be offered with both sedan and wagon body styles. This year marks the biggest shakeup in its 51-year history as it transitions from a combustion engine to an all-electric setup. Let’s take a look at what makes this car special.
Powertrain Options
The BMW i5 is expected to be powered by a 610 hp (619 PS) dual-motor setup found in the iX M60 SUV, which should give it an impressive zero to 62 mph (100 km/h) time of 3.8 seconds or less. The car will have an estimated range of over 300 miles on a single charge and will come equipped with three battery sizes ranging from 70 kWh to 100 kWh. It’s likely that the car will also come with some form of autonomous driving technology such as lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and other semi-autonomous systems.
Design Features
The BMW i5 is expected to feature several new design elements that are specific to electric vehicles including a blanked-off grille, camera mirrors, aerodynamic wheels, and unique lighting designs that help reduce drag and improve efficiency. The interior of the car will also feature several cutting-edge features such as a digital dashboard display, gesture controls, voice recognition technology, and more. Additionally, it’s likely that the car will feature some sort of wireless charging system for easier battery management on long trips.
Charging Infrastructure
In addition to being one of the most advanced cars on the market, BMW has also made sure that there is plenty of charging infrastructure available for owners of their electric vehicles so they can always get where they need to go without worry. With over 25,000 public charging points located across Europe and North America, BMW has ensured that its vehicles remain accessible no matter where you may be travelling.
With a powerful electric motor setup and cutting-edge design features both inside and out, this car promises to deliver an unparalleled driving experience that combines luxury with sustainability like never before seen in any other 5 Series car before it. If you’re looking for a next generation vehicle with modern tech features that won’t require frequent trips to fill up your tank then you won’t want to miss out on this revolutionary ride when it arrives!
