M's next generation M5 is now coming into focus, with fresh images revealing more details about the future supersaloon and its plug-in hybrid powertrain. Due to arrive some time after the new-generation 5-series and i5 are revealed next year, the new M5 will most likely make an appearance in 2024, where it'll rival AMG's next-generation E63 S and a future Audi RS6 – both of which are expected to adopt their own plug-in hybrid powertrains.
These new images of the M5 are the most revealing yet, showing off the new model’s near-production bodywork and lighting. It’s clear that this generation of M5 will be the first to feature a wider side pressing in the style of the current M3 saloon, something that's never been applied to any generation of M5 in the past. This is matched to wider front arches and sills, creating a much more aggressive stance.
Previous prototypes have confirmed the use of a plug-in hybrid system, but following the new BMW XM's debut we now have a much clearer idea about the powertrain’s specifics as the cars will almost certainly share BMW’s plug-in hybrid assisted twin-turbo V8. In the XM, there are two specifications available – an initial 653bhp combined unit and the 741bhp system in the Label Red.
The M5 will almost certainly retain its all-wheel drive system – something that’s become a defining feature of the model in the current generation. Yet what layout this new plug-in hybrid system takes is less clear. All
