2027 BMW i5 in Ontario, CA: Electric Luxury Sedan Overview
The 2027 BMW i5 is an all-electric midsize luxury sedan — the battery-powered member of the BMW 5 Series family, not a crossover. It keeps the classic three-box sedan shape with four doors, seating for five and a 17.3-cubic-foot trunk that expands when the rear seats fold, and the floor-mounted battery pack sits low in the chassis for a lower center of gravity than a comparable midsize SUV. Use this page as your starting point: what separates the three trims, how far each one goes, and where to see one near Ontario.
Choosing Your 2027 BMW i5 Trim
Three configurations make up the i5 lineup, separated by drivetrain and output rather than by cabin content — the eDrive40 and xDrive40 share the same interior feature set and option structure.
| Trim | Drivetrain | Horsepower | Torque | 0–60 MPH | Estimated Range‡ | Starting Price† |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| i5 eDrive40 | Rear-wheel drive | 335 hp | 295 lb-ft | 5.4 seconds | Up to 328 miles | $68,550 MSRP |
| i5 xDrive40 | BMW xDrive all-wheel drive | 389 hp | 435 lb-ft | 4.9 seconds | Up to 278 miles | $71,550 MSRP |
| i5 M60 | BMW xDrive all-wheel drive | 593 hp | 586 lb-ft | 3.7 seconds | Up to 277 miles | $85,550 MSRP |
†Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for new vehicles includes manufacturer and distributor options and delivery, process and handling fees, which may be subject to change at any time. MSRP excludes taxes, title, license and dealer installed options, accessories, fees and charges. MSRP is not the dealer advertised price. Dealer price will vary. The dealer sets the final price.
‡EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.
The rear-wheel-drive eDrive40 is the range leader and the volume choice, EPA-rated at 328 miles on 19-inch wheels with 120 city / 113 highway / 116 combined EPA-estimated MPGe.‡ The xDrive40 adds a front motor and BMW xDrive all-wheel drive for 54 more horsepower. The M60 is the BMW M Performance model in the lineup. BMW has not yet published 2027 EPA figures for the xDrive40 and M60, so the ranges shown for those two are BMW estimates; wheel and tire selection changes the figure on every trim. All three use a single-speed automatic.

How Far Does the 2027 BMW i5 Go on a Charge?
Every 2027 i5 carries an 84.3 kWh lithium-ion battery, and for 2027 the entire lineup adopts a native NACS charge port — direct access to Tesla Supercharger stations within the BMW ChargingNetwork without a separate adapter. Adapters for CCS (Level 3) and J-1772 (Level 2) charging are included with the vehicle.
Charging at Home and on the Road
| Charging & Battery | Specification |
|---|---|
| Battery capacity | 84.3 kWh lithium-ion |
| Charge port | Native NACS, standard across the lineup |
| Maximum DC fast charging | 205 kW |
| DC fast charge, 10–80% | About 30 minutes |
| Range added at a public DC fast charger | About 100 miles in roughly 11 minutes‡ |
| Level 2 (240V) charge, 0–100% | Less than 10 hours |
| Included adapters | CCS (Level 3) and J-1772 (Level 2) |
‡EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.
Real-world range varies with temperature, climate control use, speed and driving style. Southern California drivers see less cold-weather range loss than owners in colder states, and preconditioning the cabin and battery while still plugged into a Level 2 charger preserves stored energy before you leave. Selecting driving position B delivers maximum recuperation each time you lift off the accelerator, allowing for virtually no use of the brake pedal in urban traffic. If you are new to electric driving, our electric vehicle overview and BMW EV charging guide cover the fundamentals.
