The i5 is the electric sedan for those who demand luxury without sacrificing performance.
The 2026 BMW i5 stands as a testament to BMW's ability to blend luxury and performance in the electric realm. From the moment we slipped into its plush, tech-laden cabin, we felt the familiar embrace of BMW's attention to detail and premium feel. On the road, the i5 doesn't disappoint; its 335 horsepower is delivered with a smooth, almost effortless grace that makes highway cruising a joy. However, it's not all roses. The steering, while precise, lacks the tactile feedback we're used to in a true driver’s car. The infotainment system, though packed with features, can be a labyrinth of menus that distract more than delight. For those who value a luxurious ride with a hint of sportiness, the i5 is a compelling choice, but tech-savvy drivers might find the interface a bit of a puzzle.
