BMW is preparing to release its next iteration of the popular 5 Series executive saloon, which is expected to be tamer in design than some of the company’s recent models. The 5 Series will be offered in an electric variant for the first time, called the i5. This EV is expected to be unveiled in early 2023. While there has been no word yet on an M5 variant, it is possible that we may see a hybrid powertrain with a horsepower output of 700 or more.
The new 5 Series is expected to go on sale in Spring 2024, exactly seven years after the previous model was released. This updated version of the 5 Series is sure to be a highly anticipated release for car enthusiasts, particularly those interested in electric vehicles. The addition of an electric variant to the lineup will provide buyers with more sustainable transportation options and is a significant step towards a more eco-friendly future for BMW.
Number 9. Mini Aceman (Expected in 2024)
MINI is set to release an electric crossover vehicle, which will sit between the MINI Cooper and MINI Countryman in terms of size. This new car has been spotted testing in the wild and features familiar MINI styling in a larger package. MINI is working towards becoming a fully electric car brand by the early 2030s, and the Aceman will help increase the company’s offerings in this area.
The Aceman will be available with either a 40kWh or 50kWh battery, providing ranges of 200 and 250 miles respectively. Some sources have indicated that the Aceman may receive the BMW iX powertrain. The release of this new electric vehicle is expected to occur in the early stages of 2024. This will be a welcome addition to MINI’s lineup for those interested in sustainable transportation options.
Number 10. Genesis G90 (Expected on sale in 2023)
The Genesis G90 is a luxury sedan that is set to compete with other high-end models such as the Audi A8, BMW 7 Series, and Mercedes S-Class. It is powered by a 3.5-litre petrol engine that produces 375 horsepower, giving it impressive performance capabilities. In terms of technology, the G90 features noise-cancelling interior speakers, which work to reduce unwanted sounds inside the cabin, providing a more peaceful and comfortable driving experience.
Additionally, the G90 is equipped with a self-parking system, allowing it to easily and safely manoeuvre into tight parking spots without the need for driver input. This combination of power and innovative technology makes the Genesis G90 a formidable competitor in the luxury car market.
