Welcome to the future of electric driving because the 2024 BMW i5 is here! It’s been called a game-changer, and it definitely lives up to the hype. Its groundbreaking technologies and luxurious features redefine the electric vehicle experience. BMW has always had a reputation for pushing boundaries and demonstrating what’s possible with new developments, and this vehicle is no different. Let’s take a closer look at four revolutionary technologies you can expect when you buy the BMW i5.
1. The Cutting-Edge Electric Powertrain
Regardless of which i5 model you choose, you will have an 81.2kW battery with a range of 250–300 miles of real-world driving, or even more. This stacks up well against its competitors and makes electric driving genuinely accessible. Its fast charging capability means you can hook it up and be ready to get on the road again in no time.
The efficiency is great, but what about the performance? The standard eDrive 40 model has a single electric motor that delivers 335bhp to the rear wheels. This is enough to accelerate from 0 to 60mph in less than six seconds. You’ll definitely feel the power in this electric saloon.
2. The BMW iDrive with Curved Display
When you step inside the BMW i5, you are greeted by the iDrive 8.5 system. Its innovative curved design blends seamlessly with the dashboard, adding a touch of futuristic chic to the interior. Its intuitive interface makes it a dream to operate, and its enhanced voice recognition, personalized user profiles, and over-the-air updates provide you with the perfect companion for your journeys.
The curved display extends into the digital instrumentation, making the entire dashboard feel like a single, unified display. If you want to connect your smartphone, the iDrive system is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and it also comes with a Harman Kardon sound system to make all your music sound incredible.
3. The Driver Assistance Systems
Safety should always be a priority, and with the BMW i5, you are in safe hands. Its advanced driver assistance systems provide you with all the tools you need to make any journey as safe as possible. Its Level 2+ autonomous driving capabilities include:
- Adaptive cruise control
- Lane-keeping assist
- Automated parking
- Advanced collision avoidance
It uses a sophisticated blend of cameras, radar, and LIDAR technology to feed the system (and you) as much information as possible about what’s happening around you as you drive.
4. The Superior Sustainability
The BMW i5 is an environmentally conscious executive option due to its electric power, but BMW has gone the extra mile to make this a truly sustainable choice. With its eco-friendly materials and manufacturing processes, this vehicle has been designed to ensure that it truly has a positive environmental impact. You can plan for a greener future with the i5.
