Q: Is this the super wagon finally hitting American shores?
A: You bet! Buckle up because the wait is over. The 2025 model year will be the first for the M5 Touring in North America.
Q: Hold on, 2025? What about 2026?
A: Good question. Car releases can be a bit wonky. We're focusing on the confirmed 2025 release, but expect the 2026 model to be similar with some potential tweaks.
Q: So, what's under the hood of this monster wagon?
A: Get ready for some serious power. It's ditching the pure gas engine and embracing a hybrid setup. Think of it as a muscle wagon with an electric twist.
Q: Hybrid? That sounds a bit tame for an M5...
A: Don't worry, it's packing a punch. We're expecting a combo of a twin-turbo V8 and an electric motor, similar to the XM. Rumors suggest power figures north of 640 horsepower. Not exactly a Prius, huh?
Q: How far can I haul groceries on electric power alone?
A: That's a good one! Official numbers haven't been released, but whispers suggest an electric range around 50 km. Enough for a quick errand without guzzling gas.
Q: Is it all about speed and green cred? What about the space factor?
A: Being a wagon, it's all about functionality too. Expect a spacious interior perfect for hauling your crew and all their gear. Week-long road trip with the fam? Easy peasy.
Q: When can I get my hands on this beauty?
A: We should see an official reveal sometime this year (2024), but don't expect to hit the dealer straightaway. The 2025 release date suggests a late 2024 or early 2025 arrival.
