Innovative design for the future
The i5 Touring’s design is not just how it looks, but rather the integration of modernity and functionality. The car bears a sleek, elongated wagon shape and carries a commanding presence on the road, so it has enough space for both ample interior volume and cargo volume. Measuring 5,060 mm in length, 1,900 mm in width, and 1,515 mm in height, its dimensions make for great interior space, mainly in the cargo area.
