We hope so.
BMW’s electric vehicle range is getting more and more exciting every day. BMW’s fully electric i models combine classic BMW performance and cutting-edge technology with electric powertrains. BMW is adding models to its electric vehicle lineup slowly as it seeks to expand its range. The upcoming BMW i5 will be available to EV customers as a BMW 5Series shaped car. This perspective rendering shows that there are rumors that BMW may offer a wagon version for the new i5.
The BMW will debut in 2022, for the 2023 model-year. This means that we are only a few months away of this exciting announcement. Rumours claim that the i5 Touring will debut in 2022 for the model year 2024.
BMW is embracing the EV revolution because of the rapidly growing demand for electric vehicles. BMW will not build an electric version their existing cars. Instead, it will create a separate model line that can live alongside the BMWs we love. BMW’s unique strategy allows them to avoid the risk of changing its product line while still offering EV models a competitive product.
BMW currently offers the i4 sedan, iX SUV and the i4 hybrid which are comparable to the current BMW 4-series or X3. To offer 5-series customers an alternative, the upcoming BMW i5 will feature a larger EV. The BMW i5 will follow the same trim pattern as the i4 or iX. This will mean a base model BMW i5 eDrive40 as well as a sportier BMW i5 M50 trim that caters to different types of BMW customers.
