Double Trouble, Maximum Muscle

BMW is kicking off a new era for its M5 line-up with not just one, but two high-performance hybrid models: the 2025 BMW M5 Sedan and the all-new M5 Touring. Both pack more power, tech, and flexibility than ever, now with an electrified twist.

M Power, Now Plug-In

For the first time, the M5 enters the electrified age. The seventh-generation M5 Sedan and its station wagon counterpart, the M5 Touring, are now plug-in hybrids.

Both models feature a 4.4-liter V8 engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology paired with an integrated electric motor. The result? A combined output of 717 hp and 738 lb-ft (M5 Sedan) and 727 hp with 737 lb-ft (M5 Touring) of torque.

Acceleration is blistering: 0–100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds for the sedan and 3.6 seconds for the Touring. Top speed is electronically capped at 250 km/h but can be bumped up to 305 km/h with the M Driver’s Package.

Electric Boost, Everyday Use

Despite their supercar stats, both models can drive up to 40–67 km purely on electric power. The battery pack, stored under the floor, supports up to 7.4 kW AC charging (sedan) and 11 kW (Touring). A pre-conditioning system manages battery temperature for faster charging.

Built to Thrill

Both cars feature the M xDrive all-wheel-drive system and Active M Differential for better traction and agility. Drivers can even switch to 2WD mode with stability control off, for rear-wheel-drive fun and controlled drifting on track.

The Adaptive M Suspension, Integral Active Steering, and M Servotronic steering are standard, allowing agile handling and improved high-speed stability. The sedan comes with a shorter turning radius, while the Touring balances its size with comfort and capability.

Braking options include M Compound brakes or lighter, high-performance M Carbon Ceramic brakes. Meanwhile, the near-actuator traction control system reacts up to ten times faster than traditional systems to manage grip.

Sharp Outside, Smart Inside

The M5 Sedan and Touring both wear wider, meaner bodywork, including flared wheel arches, large air intakes, and quad tailpipes. The Touring adds practicality with 500–1,630 liters of cargo space and a towing capacity of 2,000 kg.

Inside, both models feature the BMW Curved Display with a 12.3-inch instrument cluster and a 14.9-inch control display running BMW Operating System 8.5. The cars also support Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, video streaming, and even AirConsole in-car gaming.

BMW’s Digital Key Plus lets users unlock the car via smartphone or smartwatch. The M-specific welcome and goodbye animations complete the premium feel.

Practical or Performance? Why Not Both?

The M5 Touring stands out as the practical choice, ideal for families who want both cargo room and crazy speed. The M5 Sedan remains the sharper tool for the track but now adds electric calm for city trips.
