2025 BMW M5 Touring Set to Launch in Canada
In a thrilling update for Canadian car enthusiasts, BMW has announced the arrival of the 2025 M5 Touring to the Canadian market. This marks a significant moment as it introduces the first wagon version of the M5 available in Canada.
A New Chapter for the M5 Series
The anticipation around BMW’s introduction of the new 7th-generation M5 sedan was already high, and the confirmation of a Touring version has just escalated the excitement. Notably, this is the first time since 2007 that BMW has offered a wagon variant of its performance-driven M5, a fact that underscores the uniqueness of this launch.
Driven by Public Demand
The decision to bring the M5 Touring to Canada was significantly influenced by the enthusiasts themselves. An online survey initiated by BMW earlier this year saw more than 7,200 respondents expressing their desire for this wagon edition, highlighting the strong demand and interest within the Canadian market.
Evolution of the 5 Series
The upcoming M5 Touring is part of BMW’s broader rollout of its 8th-generation 5 Series, which kickstarts with the 2024 debut of models like the 530 xDrive and the 550 xDrive plug-in hybrid. Additionally, an all-electric variant, the 2025 BMW i5 xDrive40, is set to follow, indicating BMW’s commitment to innovation and sustainability.
Powertrain and Performance
While full details are still under wraps, BMW has revealed that the M5 Touring will feature a hybrid powertrain closely tied to that of BMW’s M Hybrid V8 GTP race car. This system combines a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 engine with an electric motor to deliver a staggering total of 671 hp. Promises of “further innovation for an even more intense performance experience” suggest that BMW is pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in terms of power and efficiency.
Looking Ahead
Testing for the new M5 Touring is currently underway in Germany and the U.S., with production scheduled to commence towards the end of 2024. While pricing details remain undisclosed, the anticipation for this model’s launch continues to build.
