The 2024 BMW i5 is a battery-electric sedan with RWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the G60 generation. The eDrive40 is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured eDrive40 version develops 340 hp and 430 Nm (317 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 6.0 seconds, which is decisively quick for everyday road use. Top speed is listed at 193 km/h (120 mph). Its power output is about 30% below the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 25% slower than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Battery, range and charging
Battery capacity is listed at 84.3 kWh. The recorded electric range is 582 km (362 miles). Listed energy or fuel consumption is 14.5 kWh/100km. Maximum DC charging power is 205 kW. Its listed range is close to the peer average. Real-world range and charging speed still depend on temperature, speed, wheel choice, battery state and the conditions of the test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 5,060 mm (199.2 in) in length, 1,900 mm (74.8 in) in width, and 1,505 mm (59.3 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,995 mm (117.9 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 490 litres (17.3 cu ft), expanding to 1,290 litres (45.6 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 2,160 kg (4,762 lb). That cargo volume is close to the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of eDrive40, M60, and M60 xDrive. Across the range, the specifications span 340 hp to 601 hp, 3.8 s to 6.0 s, and 516 km to 582 km, while listed starting prices run from $66,800-$87,895. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby battery-electric sedan models from the same period, the 2024 BMW i5 is strongest on price, while power and acceleration stand out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
