Recently, some overseas media exposed a hypothetical picture of the BMW i5. The new car will be unveiled in 2023, or a fuel version and an i5 pure electric version will be launched at the same time, together with the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class and Audi A6L It will compete with similar products. In addition, it is expected to start domestically produced long wheelbase models in January 2024.
In terms of appearance design, based on previous spy photos, the BMW i5 series will be built in a relatively peaceful design style, just like the 3 series, which is in line with the aesthetics of a wider range of consumers, and will not be like the 4 series and 7 series. In that way, with a more visually impactful design, the body lines will maintain the standard sedan design and will not transform too much into a four-door coupe.
The i5 pure electric version will be available in single-motor rear-drive and dual-motor four-wheel drive models. The rear-drive i5 eDrive40 model is rated at 335 horsepower, while the four-wheel drive i5 M60 xDrive model is rated at 590 horsepower. In addition, there is news that BMW will introduce a more advanced L3 autonomous driving system on the 5 Series and 7 Series starting later next year, but it will only be launched in Europe and China.
According to the "Sales Ranking" data of the Bitauto App, the sales volume of the BMW 5 Series in the past year was 137,294 units, ranking first among competing products of the same level. If you need more data, please check the Bitauto App.
