BMW iX5

The BMW X5 SUV can be had as a fully electric car now, with a big battery and a long range.

BMW’s X5 gains an ‘i’ as it comes in full-electric form (as well as diesel, petrol, plug-in hybrid, and even hydrogen eventually). It’s a big car, so it gets a big battery for big range, and no you don’t have to have the slightly comical ‘X’ shaped headlight graphics. Inside and outside, it clearly cribs from the smaller iX3 but that’s no bad thing.
