Unlike Mercedes-Benz, which offers gas and electric sedans as distinct and separate products, BMW has built the new 5 Series and i5 on the same platform and given them similar looks. The electric variant features an 84.3kWh battery and offers two models. The i5 xDrive40 generates 389 horsepower and provides 428 km of range, while the higher-performance i5 M60 cranks output to 593 horsepower but travels slightly shorter distances (407 km).
