BMW has just confirmed that the i5 Sedan will be its first all-electric 5 Series vehicle and it is expected to arrive in October 2023 alongside the next-gen gas-powered 5 Series.

The German auto giant revealed the development in a new design plan released today, where it highlighted the arrival of the i5 Sedan vehicle.

The company also plans to unveil the iX2 SUV sometime this year and an i5 touring EV in 2024 as well as have battery EVs (BEVs) in virtually every major segment.

"The new BMW 5 Series Sedan can be offered in all-electric and plug-in hybrid variants as well as powered by highly efficient petrol and diesel engines with 48V mild hybrid technology," it wrote.

In addition, BMW confirmed that both Rolls-Royce and Mini would be going fully electric by 2030.
