- Spy photographers have caught the BMW M5 Touring ahead of its debut later this week.
- Like the sedan, it will have a plug-in hybrid V8 powertrain that produces 717 hp.
- The M5 Touring goes into production this November and will arrive in the US next spring.
BMW is gearing up to introduce the M5 Touring on August 15, so it’s not surprising to see prototypes stripping down and showing some skin. That’s certainly the case with this wagon, which is only half camouflaged.
The front end echoes the sedan as there’s a partially enclosed grille that is flanked by familiar headlights. Further below, there are angular air curtains and an aggressive intake.

The sporty styling continues further back as the wagon rides on lightweight wheels that are backed up by a high-performance braking system with bronze calipers. They’re joined by Michelin Pilot Sport tires.
Other highlights include flush-mounted door handles and a charging port that hints at the car’s plug-in hybrid powertrain. We can also see a four-tailpipe exhaust system and a practical boot that should be able to hold up to 60 cubic feet (1,700 liters) of luggage when the rear seats are folded down.

Speaking of the interior, it should largely carryover from the sedan and include a sport steering wheel, M multifunction seats, and Aluminum Rhombicle trim. They’ll be joined by a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.9-inch infotainment system.
The real star is the plug-in hybrid powertrain that consists of a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 and an eight-speed automatic transmission with an integrated electric motor. They work together to produce a combined output of 717 hp (535 kW / 727 PS) and 738 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque.
The all-wheel drive sedan can rocket from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 3.4 seconds, before hitting a top speed of up to 190 mph (306 km/h) when equipped with the optional M Driver’s Package. The model also has a 14.8 kWh battery pack, which is slated to provide around 25 miles (40 km) of electric-only range.
