BMW M5 2025 Debuts as a 717-HP Hybrid Super Sedan with Luxury and Muscle
Date: 25-apr-2025
BMW has officially pulled the wraps off the highly anticipated 2025 BMW M5, the first in the iconic performance sedan's history to feature a plug-in hybrid powertrain. Codenamed the G90 M5, the latest generation aims to redefine what it means to combine brute power with modern efficiency and executive-class comfort.
Hybrid Power, Classic Muscle
At the heart of the 2025 M5 lies a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8, now assisted by an electric motor to produce a jaw-dropping 717 horsepower. This marks a significant leap from its predecessor, making the G90 M5 one of the most powerful sedans BMW has ever built.
Despite the added hybrid components and a weight increase of nearly 1,000 pounds, the M5 still achieves a 0-60 mph time in just 3.4 seconds, thanks to the torque-rich powertrain and xDrive all-wheel drive system.
Luxury and Technology in the Cabin
The interior of the new M5 embraces BMW’s flagship technology suite, featuring a curved digital display, customizable ambient lighting, and advanced driver assistance systems. The cabin offers executive-grade comfort, especially in the spacious rear seats, though some testers have noted that the high-gloss piano black trim may be prone to fingerprints and glare.
Driving Dynamics: Fast, But Familiar
Initial reviews from automotive critics are largely positive. While the added weight slightly tempers the handling dynamics compared to older M5s, the ride quality, tech integration, and straight-line speed remain world-class. Some purists may miss the raw edge of the V10 or V8 M5s of yesteryear, but for most, this hybrid evolution represents a smart, sustainable step forward.

Why It Matters
The 2025 M5 isn’t just about numbers—it’s about transition. As the auto industry shifts toward electrification, BMW’s M division is demonstrating that performance doesn't have to be sacrificed. The plug-in hybrid format offers reduced emissions without compromising the soul of the M badge.
Availability and Pricing
BMW has yet to announce official pricing, but industry estimates suggest a starting price near $120,000. Deliveries are expected to begin in the second half of 2025.
The M5 has always been a symbol of performance luxury, and the 2025 model proves that even in an electrified world, that symbol still commands respect.
