The i5 LWB is BMW’s all-electric mid-size luxury sedan, and is also the EV counterpart to the ICE-powered 5 Series LWB. Currently, BMW only sells the i5 sedan in standard wheelbase guise with the powerful M60 variant. The model will be locally assembled BMW's Chennai facility.

Based on the China-spec i5, the India-spec i5 LWB will come with changes to suit local driving conditions. It will slot between the 530Li and i5 M60 in the 5 Series line-up. The sedan is expected to be priced between Rs 90 lakh and Rs 1 crore (ex-showroom).

The BMW i5 LWB will be an electric alternative to the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

Key features of BMW i5 LWB

The i5 LWB is expected to launch by August 2026.
Over the standard i5 sold currently, the LWB will come with a longer wheelbase, but could come with less power.
It is expected to come in eDrive40L guise, which is powered by a 97kWh battery.
The 97kWh battery pack produces 340hp and 430Nm of torque and gets a RWD setup through a rear-mounted motor.
While it gets a claimed range of 713km in China according to the CLTC cycle, India's range figures are expected to be lower.
The India-spec i5 will come with increased ground clearance and a reworked chassis, making it less vulnerable to speedbreakers.
Since the interior of the i5 LWB will be shared with the standard i5 expect a futuristic-looking and well-built interior.
The cabin could likely feature a 12.3-inch driver's display, a 14.9-inch infotainment system, adaptive suspension, multi-zone climate control, front seat ventilation, panoramic glass roof, premium audio system, head-up display and more.

Hi Autocar Team, I wanted your guidance on whether I should buy the new Lexus ES 350h Hybrid or wait for the upcoming BMW i5 LWB. My concern with the BMW i5 LWB is that it is likely to be one of the last models based on BMW's current platform, with the Neue Klasse-based i5 expected to arrive in the near future. Given how quickly EV technology is evolving, I am worried that it could become outdated relatively soon. On the other hand, the Lexus ES 350h is based on Toyota's sixth-generation hybrid technology, which makes me feel it may remain relevant for longer within its segment. That said, the idea of switching to an EV is also very exciting, so I am finding it difficult to decide. Which one would you recommend?

The new i5 LWB is expected to be a thorough revision of the current model based on the CLAR platform, with Neue Klasse-inspired styling and perhaps battery and motor updates, rather than an outright shift to the Neue Klasse platform of the i3. This is similar to what was done with the BMW i7, which also shares the CLAR platform, as both are only halfway through their life cycles. Besides, that is still some time away, and the only i5 you can buy now is the sporty (and low-slung) M60. You're right about rapidly advancing EV tech, but whether you choose today's i5 or the incoming LCI or LWB, you'll still have a luxurious, comfortable, refined and powerful EV.As for the Lexus, if you're choosing the hybrid, know that it is about half the price of what the i5 LWB will likely cost. There is also the ES Electric, which is closer in price and concept to the i5. Either way, the ES seems like the better choice for you if you plan to purchase today, since as you mentioned, it is presently the more contemporary option. That said, depending on which camp you fall into, a hybrid may already be behind in terms of relevance compared to any EV, so it really comes down to the nature of your usage. For now, in India, pound for pound, a hybrid makes more sense than an EV, so if you're keen on the new ES hybrid, you should go for it.
