2025 All New BMW M5 Launched at Rs 1.99 Crore
BMW has launched the seventh-generation M5 Hybrid in India, priced at ₹1.99 crore (ex-showroom).
This performance sedan marks a major step forward for the M division, blending brutal power with hybrid sophistication. At its heart is a 4.4L V8 engine paired with an electric motor, delivering a combined output of 727 HP and 1000 Nm of torque. The result? A staggering 0–100 km/h time of just 3.5 seconds.
What makes this launch even more intriguing is the context: Mercedes recently launched the C63S E-Performance at ₹1.95 crore, making it a close competitor. But here’s the kicker—despite the C63S being in a lower segment, it comes with just a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, a far cry from the iconic V8s of AMG’s past. In contrast, the M5 not only retains a proper V8 engine but also provides better performance and significantly more value for the price.
For a mere ₹4 lakh more, the M5 offers four additional cylinders, superior dynamics, and a commanding presence, making it a much more compelling choice for enthusiasts.
The new M5’s V8 engine delivers 585 HP, while the electric motor adds 197 HP, creating a perfect synergy of power and efficiency. With an all-electric range of 69 km, it can handle short city commutes without emissions, while the M Hybrid system ensures breathtaking performance when needed.
The M xDrive all-wheel-drive system and adaptive M suspension enhance handling, making the M5 equally adept on the track and the road. Coupled with features like Integral Active Steering, the driving experience is nothing short of exhilarating.
Inside, the M5 balances sportiness and comfort with M multifunction seats, a BMW Curved Display, and high-end materials. It also includes the Bowers & Wilkins Diamond surround sound system, ensuring every drive feels premium. Advanced driver-assistance systems like Reversing Assistant and Driving Assistant Professional add convenience and safety.
The BMW M5 Hybrid emerges as the perfect blend of performance, innovation, and value and BMW’s commitment to the V8 experience sets it apart. For those seeking the ultimate driving machine, the M5 stands as a worthy contender, offering much more than just a hybrid powertrain—it offers soul.
