Power and Performance

There are two distinct setups available for the 2026 BMW i5. The base-level BMW i5 eDrive40 comes with a single rear-mounted electric motor that provides 335 horsepower and a range of up to 310 miles. If you prefer pure power over extra efficiency, the BMW i5 xDrive40 model comes with a second electric motor that provides a whopping 389 horsepower with a 0-60 mph time of 5.2 seconds. However, it has a slightly reduced range of 278 miles.

All trim levels of this new BMW vehicle come with two regenerative braking modes, allowing you to swap between maximum recuperation and a more realistic driving feel as desired. When utilizing a 350kW DC Fast Charger, you can expect to regain 100 miles of range in just 11 minutes of charging.
