In a press release dated April 4, BMW stated that the BMW M5 Touring will feature a hybrid powertrain, and it is expected that the sports wagon will take on the same power unit that is fitted into the upcoming M5 sedan. If it is so, the Touring will feature a 4.4-litre V8 that is coupled with an electric motor to generate 717 bhp of power and 1,000 Nm of torque. This power unit in the 2025 M5 sedan is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and can provide up to approximately 40.2 km of electric-only driving range.

Aside from the powertrain, the M5 Touring is expected to feature Adaptive M Suspension, Integral Active Steering, as well as the signature M-specific badging all around. Inside, BMW is expected to carry over the 14.9-inch infotainment display from the M5 sedan, along with the 12.3-inch digital cluster. Being a wagon that will be used for driving around larger groups of people, the M5 Touring is likely to be fitted with much of the same safety features from the sedan, such as the automated emergency braking system, blind-spot monitoring system, as well as adaptive cruise control with handsfree driving.
