BMW | Arrival of a family M5 confirmed

The Audi RS 6 will finally have a Bavarian rival. BMW recently announced the arrival on Canadian soil of the latest generation of its M5 in wagon format which, like the sedan, is beginning a plug-in hybrid turn.

The athlete equipped with a 4.4 L twin-turbo V8 producing 717 hp will therefore have one more argument to seduce a clientele looking for more practicality without making the jump to an SUV. A formula appreciated by many sports car enthusiasts thanks to its 500 L trunk that can grow to 1630 L.

A 194 hp electric motor placed in its eight-speed automatic transmission provides a range of 40 km using a 14.8 kWh battery.

An all-wheel drive system also supports a 0-100 km/h in 3.6 seconds, making this first M5 family car marketed in Canada quite fast. On sale at the end of the year at a starting price of $138,000.
