BMW is reviving a legend with the introduction of the new M5 Touring, marking the model’s return to the touring segment for the first time since 2007. This latest edition promises to blend M-series performance with long-distance comfort and increased spaciousness.
While first purported to be a UK-exclusive release, new reports have indicated that the M5 Touring will be making its way to the U.S. — according to BMW’s head of design, Domagoj Dukec, the new model will arrive in both a sedan and wagon body styling.
Currently undergoing rigorous worldwide endurance testing, the M5 Touring prototype, although camouflaged, unmistakably exhibits its high-performance DNA. BMW notes that this phase marks a critical step in the vehicle’s development, ensuring the new M5 Touring meets the high expectations associated with the BMW M badge. Test drives are being conducted across various terrains, including public roads and racetracks, to refine its capabilities.
At the heart of the M5 Touring is a partially electrified drive system, signifying BMW M’s commitment to electrification and innovation. This new powertrain, combined with a meticulously tuned chassis and advanced systems, is designed to offer unmatched driving dynamics and agility.
While we have a sneak peek of the vehicle’s design, specifics on engine output, price and availability are yet to be shared at the time of writing — however, more is expected to be unveiled soon via BMW’s official channels.
