Frequently Asked Questions
How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate? The BMW i5 eDrive40 (2025-…) is equipped with a powertrain that delivers up to 250 kW (335 hp) of power and 295 lb-ft of torque.
This enables a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 5.7 seconds (№41 out of 118 ranked positions, among 933 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions) and a top speed of 120 mph.
How far can it go on single charge? What is the real-world range? The estimated real-world range for BMW i5 eDrive40 (2025-…) is 304 miles, ranking it №70 out of 262 ranked positions. Several conditions can influence this range:
- Speed: The battery drains faster at higher speeds.
- Temperature: Extreme temperatures can impact range.
- Terrain: Range is reduced on hilly or mountainous terrain.
- Driving style: Aggressive driving behaviors, such as frequent acceleration and braking, decrease efficiency.
- Feature utilization: Climate control and media system usage also affect range.
These figures are approximations, and your actual driving range may vary. When planning trips, consider these factors and be prepared for potential charging stops.
