BMW i5 (M60) – Australian Model EV
The 2025 BMW i5 represents a significant evolution in BMW’s electric vehicle lineup, offering Australian buyers two distinct variants: the rear-wheel-drive eDrive40 sedan starting at $155,900 and the dual-motor M60 xDrive sedan ($215,900) alongside the exclusive M60 xDrive Touring staion wagon ($219,990). These models combine BMW’s CLAR flexible platform with advanced electric powertrains delivering up to 442kW/820Nm, WLTP-certified ranges between 445–582km, and cutting-edge features including 22kW AC/205kW DC charging, Level 2 autonomous driving capabilities, and a 14.9-inch curved infotainment system.

BYD Seal – Australian Model EV
The 2025 BYD Seal arrives in Australia with price reductions of $2,808–$3,758 across its three variants compared to previous advised launch pricing. Standard features include a panoramic glass roof with electric sunshade and adaptive damping systems, though it retains a 400V architecture that limits DC charging speeds compared to China’s 800V-enabled models. While offering competitive WLTP ranges up to 570 km and acceleration as quick as 3.8 seconds in the Performance variant, the Australian model misses out on the Chinese-market upgrades like LiDAR-enhanced autonomy and ultra-rapid 230 kW charging due to the lower spec 400 volt architecture.
