BMW i5 LWB Offers Up to 669 km Range

At the heart of the BMW i5 LWB is an 81.6 kWh battery pack. BMW claims an MIDC range of up to 669 kilometres on a single charge, making range one of the car's biggest highlights.


The electric sedan uses a rear-wheel-drive layout, with its motor producing 268 hp and 410 Nm of torque. Despite its large luxury-sedan proportions, the i5 LWB can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.7 seconds and has a claimed top speed of 195 km/h.

Premium Interior Packed With Technology

Inside, the BMW i5 LWB gets a technology-focused cabin with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system.
