Record summary
What to know first
The M5 is a plug-in hybrid: a 4.4L twin-turbo V8 paired with an integrated electric motor and 14.8-kWh battery for 717 combined horsepower and roughly 25 miles of EV range, offered as a sedan or Touring wagon.
Model-year note
The M5 is a plug-in hybrid on this generation, not a pure gas V8, so a non-hybrid output figure does not apply. A Touring wagon body joins the Sedan for 2027, at a $2,000 premium.
