The 2025 BMW M5 has been redesigned, introducing a hybrid engine and a wagon option for the U.S. market after a 15-year absence. The new model features a 4.4-liter V8 paired with an electric motor, producing a total of 717 horsepower. Despite a significant increase in weight to 5,390 pounds, the M5 maintains impressive performance, accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds. The car's handling remains agile, aided by rear-axle steering and wider tires, enhancing cornering stability. The interior offers comfort and advanced technology, though the hybrid's electric range is limited. The M5 competes with models like the Audi RS7 and Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing, with a new Mercedes-AMG E63 expected next year.
