2025 BMW M5 Touring Makes Its U.S. Debut
The 2025 BMW M5 Touring is set to make waves as it enters the U.S. market for the first time, blending high performance with practicality in a stylish package. This marks a significant moment for enthusiasts who crave both speed and utility.
Power Meets Utility
Under the hood, the BMW M5 Touring boasts an impressive BMW M Hybrid drive system that churns out 717 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque. This powerhouse enables the vehicle to sprint from 0-60 mph in just 3.5 seconds, making it a formidable contender in its class.
The plug-in hybrid setup also offers an estimated electric-only range of about 25 miles, catering to those looking for eco-friendly options without sacrificing performance.
Design and Interior Features
The design of the M5 Touring is bold and aggressive, featuring flared wheel arches and side skirts that enhance its sporty appeal. The newly designed kidney grille and large air intakes add to its striking presence on the road.
Inside, luxury meets functionality with up to 57.6 cubic feet of luggage space available. The interior is adorned with M Multifunction seats and optional Full Merino Metallic leather trim, while a Sky Lounge Panoramic Roof adds an extra touch of elegance.
Advanced Technology
The latest iteration of BMW's iDrive system takes center stage inside, accompanied by a curved display that integrates seamlessly into the dashboard. A suite of digital services including video streaming and in-car gaming ensures entertainment on long journeys.
Safety features are comprehensive, with systems like Forward Collision Mitigation and Lane Keeping Assistant providing peace of mind on every drive.
A Look at Competitors: Audi RS 6 Avant Performance
When compared to rivals such as the 2024 Audi RS 6 Avant Performance, which offers a biturbo V8 engine producing 621 horsepower and achieving a slightly quicker 0-60 mph time of 3.3 seconds, it's clear that competition is fierce in this segment.
The Audi model emphasizes immersive sound experiences with reduced insulation and optional sport exhausts but falls short on power output compared to BMW’s offering.
A New Chapter Begins
The introduction of the BMW M5 Touring into North America signals an exciting new chapter for fans seeking versatility without compromising on performance or luxury. With production set at BMW Group Plant Dingolfing alongside its sedan counterpart, anticipation builds ahead of its launch at Pebble Beach Automotive Week in late 2024.
