The 2026 BMW M5 is a high-performance midsize luxury sedan or station wagon — dubbed "Touring" in BMW's vernacular. Its plug-in hybrid powertrain pairs a twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 with an electric motor tucked into the eight-speed automatic transmission. Total system output is 717 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque. BMW's xDrive all-wheel drive is standard. With a 14.8-kWh battery pack, the M5 sedan has an electric range of 27 miles, while the Touring is rated at 25 miles. There's only one trim level; feature highlights are as follows:

Which M5 trim does Edmunds recommend?
There are two body styles available for the M5, but only one trim level and few options beyond color and trim. Two major bundles worth a look are the Driving Assistance Professional package and the Executive package. The former includes partially autonomous driving tech, and the latter adds heated rear seats and ventilated fronts. (Heated front seats are standard.)
