The BMW M5 Touring represents something increasingly rare in the automotive world: a full-fat, high-performance station wagon with an unapologetic twin-turbo V8 at its core.
Paired with a plug-in hybrid electric motor integrated into the 8-speed M Steptronic transmission, the M5 Touring delivers a combined 727 HP and 1,000 Nm of torque.
Autobahn Supremacy Meets 500 Liters of Cargo
0 to 100 km/h takes just 3.5 seconds, and with the optional M Driver's Package, the Touring will power continuously to 305 km/h (189 mph).
- Electric Commuting: 18.6 kWh battery provides up to 69 km of emissions-free pure electric city driving.
- Chassis Control: Standard adaptive M suspension with active roll stabilization disguises its 2,430 kg curb weight.
- Cargo Volume: 500 liters expanding to 1,630 liters with rear seats folded.
It is an engineering tour-de-force that provides supercar theater with family usability.
