Calm, quick, and electric luxury
BMW avoids the temptation to make their EVs distinct from their gas counterparts, and the 2024 BMW i5 is an example of that design policy. For example, the interior is quiet, comfortable, and packed with modern features in a way you’ve come to expect from a luxury car. Despite a sizable battery pack, the passenger cabin or trunk space isn’t reduced, leaving plenty of room for passengers to get comfortable. But like most EVs, the 2024 BMW i5 is snappy to accelerate and surprisingly fun through corners.

5 reasons to buy the 2024 BMW i5
1. Space for the whole crew
With room for up to five passengers, the 2024 BMW i5 can bring family, friends, or anyone coming for the ride. Take the 17.3 cu-ft trunk, which has enough room for large luggage, while the wide opening makes for easy loading and unloading. Plus, there are helpful cubbies, door pockets, and small bins ideal for storing small personal items. Finally, a spacious rear seat, easy-to-find LATCH anchors, and large door openings should make loading rear-facing car seats easier.
2. A first-class cabin experience
Passengers will enjoy the soft and supportive rear bench seats while you enjoy an excellent seating position up front. In other words, the seat padding is supportive while the ergonomics help reduce the strain from long trips. Additionally, the electric motor, sound insulation, and well-tuned suspension create a whisper-quiet interior even at highway speeds. That’s why the 2024 BMW i5 interior is a welcoming, relaxing, familiar space you might not want to leave.
3. Loaded with standard equipment
With only a pair of 2024 BMW i5 trims, the standard eDrive40 has plenty of desirable features. Enjoy the sunlight through a standard sunroof, or stream music using the Android Auto™ or Apple CarPlay® integration through a wireless connection. Or immerse yourself in music from the 16-speaker Harmon Kardon® audio system. Additionally, stay cool with the dual-zone automatic climate control. There’s little room to improve on the standard feature list in a 2024 BMW i5.
4. A variety of power configurations
Depending on the 2024 BMW i5 model you select, you can choose between rear and all-wheel drive. Like the standard eDrive40, which features a single electric motor powering the rear wheels and making 335 hp. Or, take advantage of the intelligent BMW xDrive AWD in a 2024 i5 M50, which boosts traction in tight turns and when road conditions deteriorate due to bad weather, giving you a confident grip in any condition. Finally, enjoy an EPA-estimated range of 295 miles in a 2024 BMW i5 eDrive40 equipped with 19-inch wheels.
5. Modern driving assists to take the strain out of commuting
Enjoy essential driving aids, like forward collision warning with automatic braking, blind spot monitoring, and lane keep assist, standard in a 2024 BMW i5. However, adding the Driving Assistance Professional package gives you advanced driving assists like adaptive cruise control and evasive steering assistance. Lastly, Driving Assistance Professional adds the Highway Assistant, which lets you drive hands-free in certain conditions on select highways under 85 mph.
