New 2025 BMW 5 Series Details
In just a few months’ time, the eighth generation of the 5 Series will make its debut. The new model is more dynamic and more comfortable than ever and boasts a fresh interpretation of its signature elegantly sporting design, not to mention BMW Operating System 8.5 with BMW Curved Display, innovative digital services and, for the first time, a purely electric drive system in the guise of the i5. The flexible powertrain architecture means the new 5 Series Saloon can be offered in all-electric and plug-in hybrid variants as well as powered by petrol and diesel engines with 48V mild hybrid technology.
At the BMW Group Annual Conference 2023, Oliver Zipse, Chairman of the Board of Management, announced further details of the new 5 Series model range, indicating that the car would also be made available as an all-electric BMW M Performance model. “The all-electric BMW i4 M50 shows how BMW blends dynamic performance and electric mobility to perfection,” said Zipse. “It was the best-selling BMW M model worldwide in 2022.
A fully electric performance version from BMW M will also be included in the new BMW 5 Series line-up.” Zipse revealed that a new variant would also be added to the familiar choice of engines for the new 5 Series Touring. “The 5 Series Touring is very popular, particularly in Europe,” he remarked. “From spring 2024 it will also come in an all-electric version, giving us a truly unique selling point in this segment.” The worldwide launch of the new 5 Series Saloon will get underway in October 2023.
