The M5 EV was previously called the M5e. According to AITO, the new model will make its debut in the third quarter of this year and can be expected to hit the market in September. 

Positioned as a pure-electric derivative of AITO’s first model on the market, the M5, the M5 EV features a differentiated exterior design. The closed-off hood design adopts two airways on the sides mimicking a shark’s nose. The novel headlight design gives the vehicle a more technological vibe.  

The new electric model will come standard with 19” wheels with a low drag coefficient. The M5 EV inherits a similar design on the rear end as the existing M5 model, with a light strip running across the vehicle's width.

The M5 EV measures 4,785mm long, 1,930mm wide, and 1,620mm tall with a 2,880mm wheelbase. The model will offer a dual-electric-motor trim with lithium iron phosphate batteries.
