BMW will be replacing the current 5-Series with a brand-new one sometime around 2023, as well as introducing an all-electric version of it dubbed the i5. A recent spy photo manages to show the latter from the inside.
Calling it informative would be a stretch
with all the camouflage and fake panels, of course, but some details can still
be discerned. These include a large steering wheel squared off from below with
sensor panels on the spokes. There is also a rather impressively sized dash
display, which probably serves both dashboard and multimedia functions. Motor1
opines that the new 5-Series could ship in two body styles – sedan and wagon –
but with the same interior design.
Earlier rumors had claimed that the most
powerful electric 5-Series would have 750 PS at its disposal.
We should be able to learn more towards late 2022, when the Bavarian automaker
may begin slowly unveiling the next generation.
