The BMW i5 and BMW XM are two distinct models from BMW, each showcasing different facets of the brand’s electric and performance capabilities.
The BMW i5 is a mid-size electric sedan set to bridge the gap between the i4 and i7 models, embodying an elegant blend of performance and luxury. It’s powered by a combination of a rear-mounted 225 horsepower electric motor and a front-mounted 135 horsepower motor, which together deliver a total of 360 horsepower. There’s also mention of a hybrid variant with a more potent rear-mounted motor. All i5 models are equipped with an 81.2 kilowatt-hours lithium-ion battery, capable of accepting DC fast-charging speeds of up to 205 kilowatts. The 2024 model is noted for its range, offering a 335-horsepower entry-level trim and a near-600-hp top model capable of accelerating to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds.
On the other hand, the BMW XM is an SUV that aims to encapsulate both high performance and luxury. It’s powered by a twin-turbocharged V-8 engine paired with an electric motor, which, in one configuration, provides a total of 644 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque, enabling it to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds. Another variant, the 2024 XM Label Red, features the same twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8 engine and electric motor setup but with a 19.2-kilowatt-hour battery.
