2026 BMW i5 review
BMW i5: everyday electric done right. Illustrative review
9.1/10 OffLot expert score
The 2026 BMW i5 sits near the top of its class. Efficient in mixed driving; comfortable front seats on long trips. Road noise on coarse pavement and rear headroom is tight for tall passengers, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $70,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

The fuel economy is the standout. My only gripe is road noise on the highway, which I knew going in.
Replaced an older BMW with this one. Big step up in fuel economy; I'd like a little more rear headroom.
