BMW's i5 Ontrack For 2018 - What Is The Rest Of The Competition Waiting On?

The latest edition of German magazine Autobild talks about the highly and long-time rumored BMW i5. The third model graduating from the i sub-brand has been the topic of many conflicting reports in the last year; some pointed to an imminent release to compete with Tesla while more recent ones said the car won’t arrive until at least 2020.

The drivetrain has also been the subject of many speculations, we’ve heard them all, from a fully-electric platform to a hybrid and even hydrogen-powered. Autobild now seems to believe the i5 will be a plug-in hybrid using the eDrive technology BMW has previewed last year in a 5 Series GT Concept.

nice! drop the flawed up-opening door design on the i8 for a usable design... this should get some significant attention from the Tesla buyers I would imagine... step up on the interior too BMW, the i8's was nice but a bit boring
