Find your perfect i5

BMW i5

Get the best price with What Car?

The BMW i5 Touring is a practical, hushed and luxurious choice. Plus, it’s surprisingly affordable to run as a company car, thanks to its low benefit-in-kind tax rating. It’s just a pity its high starting price will rule it out for a lot of private buyers.

The trim

Sport Edition trim is the cheapest available, and gets you 19in alloy wheels, faux-leather upholstery, climate control, adaptive LED headlights, heated front seats and a heat pump. Given that the i5 is already very expensive, this is the trim we'd go for.

The engine

With this entry-level motor, the i5 doesn't give you the instant hit of power away from the lights that you might expect from an electric car. However, it's still far from slow, and pulls much harder than the rival Mercedes EQE 300 when you ask for a quick burst of acceleration on the move. It can't travel as far between charges as the EQE, though.
