Design & Presence

The i5 Touring stretches BMW’s new electric language into a practical estate, trading SUV height for a sleeker, longer silhouette that still commands attention. At 5.06 m long it has the presence of a premium car without the awkward bulk of a crossover; the long roofline and pronounced haunches give it a purposeful, aerodynamic look. The front retains BMW’s prominent kidney treatment paired with slim headlights, which reads modern rather than aggressive, and wheel choices quickly change the car’s character from discreet to showy. Overall it feels like a deliberate, grown‑up alternative to the typical EV crossover.

Interior & Usability

Cabin quality is BMW‑grade: tight gaps, soft surfaces and confident stitching lift the Touring above mainstream rivals and give a solid feel that suits daily use. A wide curved display dominates the dash and pairs with a tactile controller on the centre console for most functions, while physical shortcuts remain for climate and drive modes. Seats are comfortable for long motorway runs and supportive enough for spirited driving, with five‑seat layout and sensible storage cubbies for phones and small items. Visibility to the rear is reasonable for a wagon and switchgear is straightforward, making it easy to live with day to day.

Space & Everyday Practicality

Boot volume starts at a practical 570 litres and expands to a maximum of 1,700 litres with the rear seats folded, so it swallows suitcases, prams or flat‑pack furniture without drama. Five adults fit politely, and rear legroom benefits from the long 5.06 m body; payload allowance of around 535–560 kg means the Touring can carry heavy kit without complaint. The low loading lip and integrated roof rails make it more useful than many electric SUVs for owners who regularly transport bulky items or outdoor equipment.

Driving & Handling

Driving character varies with the drivetrain: power ranges from a rear‑drive 340 hp unit to a 394 hp xDrive and up to a 601 hp M60 that hits 0–100 km/h in 3.9 seconds, so buyers can pick anything from efficient cruiser to genuine performance wagon. BMW’s rear‑biased chassis balance shows through in cornering, where the Touring masks its roughly 2.3‑tonne mass with composed body control and communicative steering. All‑wheel drive xDrive variants add traction and confidence in slippery conditions, though they soften the pure rear‑drive feel cherished by enthusiasts. Despite heavy curb weights (roughly 2,255–2,425 kg) the i5 Touring feels planted and predictable at speed, which suits long distances and quick direction changes alike.

Efficiency/Consumption & Range

Battery capacity is 81.2 kWh and WLTP range figures vary by model: around 602 km for the most efficient rear‑drive eDrive40, approximately 561 km for the xDrive40 and about 522 km for the M60, reflecting the familiar trade‑off between performance and range. Official consumption spans roughly 15.4–17.7 kWh/100 km, which in mixed real‑world use typically means a practical 350–500 km between charges depending on speed, load and temperature. Rapid charging capability is important for long trips, and the Touring is intended to be used as a comfortable long‑range GT when fast‑charger access is available. For daily commuting the efficient eDrive40 will often cover weekly needs without frequent top‑ups, while the M60 suits those who accept shorter ranges for greater power.

Assistance & Infotainment

BMW’s driver assistance suite pairs adaptive cruise with lane guidance, traffic jam assist and capable park aids that reduce the stress of busy city driving and motorway miles. The infotainment system is clear and responsive, supports smartphone integration and benefits from connected services and over‑the‑air updates to keep features current. Some advanced assistance feels conservative compared with the very latest rivals, but the system’s reliability and ergonomic layout make it easy to live with every day.

Who is it for?

The i5 Touring suits buyers who need the practicality of a large estate but want electric drivability and a distinctly BMW driving experience rather than a soft crossover compromise. Choose the efficient eDrive40 for maximum range, the xDrive40 for a balance of performance and all‑weather ability, or the M60 if outright pace and drama are priorities despite higher running costs. As an electric family hauler with premium feel, it appeals to executives, families and mileage‑heavy drivers who value space, comfort and a more engaging driving dynamic than typical electric SUVs.
