The model
Read full BMW i5 review
The BMW i5 is sharper to drive, classier inside and more practical than its main rival, the Mercedes EQE. So, why doesn't it get a five-star rating? Well, while it makes a lot of sense as a company car, it's expensive enough to put off a lot of people who like the idea of an electric 5 Series. If you do get an i5, we recommend the eDrive40 in M Sport trim.
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.
