Battery - Electric / Hybrid
The 5 Series electric vehicle boasts a relatively compact 22.1 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, located beneath the floor. This powers a synchronous electric motor generating 184 hp and 250 Nm of torque, positioned between the combustion engine and transmission. The car offers a range of 82-89 km (50.95-55.3 mi) on a single charge, with energy consumption figures ranging from 21.7-23.7 kWh/100 km. A Type 2 AC charging port is located on the front left, and the maximum electric speed is 140 km/h (86.99 mph).

Weight & Capacity
The 5 Series boasts impressive towing capacity (2000kg braked), a spacious trunk (570-1700 liters), and a relatively powerful engine (141 Hp/tonne). Its substantial kerb weight (2120kg) suggests a robust build, though fuel efficiency might be a consideration given the 60-liter tank. The weight-to-power and weight-to-torque ratios indicate decent performance.
The all-electric range depends on factors like battery condition, driving style, and temperature. Check the manufacturer's specifications for the exact range.
The specs don't give exact cargo volume, but the long wheelbase and station wagon body style strongly suggest a generous amount of cargo space.
Yes, the relatively small turning circle (12.4m) makes it maneuverable in urban environments.
With a ground clearance of 147mm (5.79 inches), it's suitable for paved roads but not ideal for rough terrain or significant bumps.
The 5 Series accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 6.4 seconds.
The top speed is 218 km/h (135.46 mph).
The drag coefficient is 0.26.
The specs don't specify the all-electric range. This would depend on the specific 5 Series plug-in hybrid model and battery size.
Euro 6e signifies that the vehicle meets strict European Union emission regulations, resulting in lower tailpipe emissions and contributing to cleaner air.
The stated fuel consumption is a combined WLTP figure, which is a standardized test. Real-world fuel economy may vary depending on driving style, conditions, and battery usage.
The exact fuel economy will vary depending on driving style and conditions, but PHEVs generally offer significantly improved fuel efficiency compared to purely gasoline-powered vehicles.
Charging time varies depending on the charger used. A Level 2 charger will typically charge the battery much faster than a Level 1 charger.
It features ventilated disc brakes on both the front and rear axles.
The car has 19-inch wheels (8.5J x 19 front, 10J x 19 rear) with 245/45 R19 front and 275/40 R19 rear tires.
