Q: How much cargo space does it offer? Does it have a front trunk?

Behind the rear seats of the BMW i5 eDrive40 (2025-…), you ll find 490 litres of storage space (№96 out of 204 ranked positions, among 951 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions). Folding down the rear seats expands the total cargo capacity to 785 litres (№196 out of 209 ranked positions, among 951 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions). The car doesn’t have a “frunk” (front trunk).

Question 1

How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

Accepted Answer

The BMW i5 eDrive40 (2025-…) is equipped with a powertrain that delivers up to 250 kW (335 hp) of power and 400 Nm of torque.

This enables a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 6 seconds (№42 out of 122 ranked positions, among 951 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions) and a top speed of 193 km/h.

Question 2

How far can it go on single charge? What is the real-world range?

Accepted Answer

The estimated real-world range for BMW i5 eDrive40 (2025-…) is 489 km, ranking it №90 out of 353 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.

Question 3

What charging options are available? How long does it take to charge it?

Accepted Answer

The BMW i5 eDrive40 (2025-…) in Europe is equipped with a CCS Type 2 charging port. You can charge it conveniently at home using a standard outlet, or utilize any public AC charging station with the appropriate cable. However, the car's built-in charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging speed to 11 kW, which translates to roughly 60 km of range added per hour.

For faster charging, use DC fast-charging stations. The BMW i5 eDrive40 (2025-…) supports a maximum DC charging rate of 206 kW, but it's important to note that battery temperature and current charge level can affect the actual charging speed you'll experience.
