JAKARTA - BMW, an automotive manufacturer from Germany, will soon launch the latest generation from BMW M5 in the touring wagon version. A teaser circulating has revealed the design's appearance.

BMW M5 Wagon will offer the convenience of long-distance travel without compromising performance, while providing space.

In a report from Motor1 on Monday, June 26, BMW plans to immediately conduct road testing for M5 Touring in the coming days. The trials will be carried out on highways around the city of Munich, M GmbH headquarters in Garching, Germany, and in Nurburgring.

It is estimated that the design of the BMW M5 Touring will not be much different from that of the M5 sedan. The front will have a triangular opening at its corners to direct the airflow aerodynamically. A distinctive Grill from BMW, namely the kidney grip, is expected to remain in this M5 wagon version.

Turning to the back, BMW will embed four exhaust pipes as generally in the M model. Since this is a touring wagon, the roof will be extended to create a large baggage room.

Although the inside has not yet been displayed, M5 Touring is likely to have a standard Seri 5 cabin. The interior will be equipped with a 12.3-inch instrument cluster and a 14.9-inch infotainment display. There may also be an increase in seat pads and trim revisions to provide a more sporting touch.

BMW promises impressive performance for M5 Touring without ignoring convenience. The manufacturer has also confirmed that the M5 wagon version will use a drivetrain that is mostly powered by electricity.

It is possible that BMW M5 Touring will use the same engine settings as the BMW XM sports SUV. If that happens, M5 Touring will be equipped with a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with a single electric motor and a battery with a capacity of 29.5 kWh.

BMW M5 Touring will be a competitor to Audi RS6 Avant as Germany's newest high-performance wagon. Reportedly, RS6 Avant will have a body design that is more aggressive than before.
