The 2028 BMW M5 Touring has started undergoing cold-weather testing in the arctic region, marking the first round of updates to the plug-in hybrid wagon. The current M5 Touring, which arrived in the US over a year ago, has been met with surprising enthusiasm from enthusiasts, who have responded to the wagon iteration of the nameplate in a significant number of sales. The updated M5 Touring can be identified by revised headlights, a tweaked grille design, and possibly some small updates to the lower front bumper. The camouflage is doing its job, but these changes are clear when viewed closely.

The M5 Touring is a plug-in hybrid superwagon, boasting a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 paired with an electric motor and a 14.8-kWh battery pack for a combined 717 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque. This battery pack enables about 25 miles of electric-only driving range, according to BMW. At most, the powertrain might receive some revisions to squeeze out a bit more power and efficiency, but don’t expect this 5,530-pound M car to lose meaningful weight with the upcoming refresh.
Production of the 2028 BMW M5 Touring is expected to kick off in the summer of 2027. While the exact details of the updates are not yet known, it’s clear that the M5 Touring will continue to be a formidable player in the world of plug-in hybrid superwagons.
