First Drive: BMW iX5 Brings Neue Klasse Styling and Massive Battery to Electric SUV Lineup

BMW is expanding its core SUV lineup with the upcoming all-electric iX5, incorporating design language and technology derived from its Neue Klasse architecture. Despite tipping the scales at roughly 2.8 metric tons, the battery-electric hauler aims to preserve the dynamic handling traits that defined prior generations. The G65-generation model will eventually offer an array of powertrains, including plug-in hybrid and hydrogen fuel-cell variants.
