The BMW M5 Touring Finally Arrives in the United States

WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J. (August 15, 2024) – For the first time ever in the United States, BMW M presents the new BMW M5 Touring, a high-performance model offering a new level of utility to go with the race-bred performance, bold design, and superlative all-day comfort that are the hallmarks of an M5. The M Hybrid drivetrain produces 717 hp and 738 lb-ft to deliver intoxicating performance on road and track alike. And yet, the plug-in hybrid powertrain enables almost silent and locally emission-free driving, with a preliminary estimated range of up to 25 miles on a full charge. The unique concept of the new BMW M5 Touring is reflected in both its exterior design and its interior configuration and appointments.

Inside, the new M5 Touring has up to 57.6 cubic feet (estimated) of flexible load-carrying capacity for leisure activities and trips away. Continue reading
