BMW has unveiled the 2025 M5, and it’s not just a refresh—it’s a revolution. This latest version of the high-performance sedan features a plug-in hybrid powertrain and delivers an astounding 717 horsepower, putting it in a league of its own.
Built on the foundation of the standard 5 Series, the M5 has always evolved with bold changes—from early inline-six engines to V10s and twin-turbo V8s. The 2025 model continues this tradition with a new system that pairs a 4.4-liter V8 engine with a 194-horsepower electric motor.
The result is jaw-dropping performance. The new M5 generates a maximum torque of 101.97 kgf·m and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds, despite its hefty 2.5-ton weight. For those opting for the M Driver’s Package, the top speed reaches 305 km/h.
Visually, the 2025 M5 is also a standout. It sports an aggressive front bumper, larger air intakes, a unique rear diffuser, and carbon fiber accents—all designed to signal its performance pedigree.
Inside, the cabin combines luxury and functionality. High-end leather seats offer both comfort and support, making the M5 suitable for both racetrack sprints and long road trips. Features include heated front and rear seats, ventilated front seats, four-zone climate control, and an in-cabin camera system.
Practicality was not ignored. The car offers generous space in both the front and rear seats. Thanks to the battery being placed under the floor rather than in the trunk, the M5 boasts a cargo capacity of 466 liters. The vehicle also supports a wide range of premium features and optional upgrades.
Efficiency is another strong point. The plug-in hybrid setup includes a 66-liter fuel tank and an 18.6 kWh battery. This allows for full electric driving in city conditions, while average fuel consumption stands at 12L/100km.
Pricing for the 2025 BMW M5 starts at around $111,000 in the U.S. (roughly 95 million Korean won). Considering its power, hybrid technology, and luxury features, the M5 is seen as competitively priced among other high-performance sedans.
In short, the 2025 BMW M5 marks a bold new chapter for the brand. With supercar-level speed, plug-in efficiency, and executive-class comfort, it’s already being called one of the most exciting M cars ever built.
