BMW knows variety is the spice of life, which is why it plans to sell the next X5 with nearly every type of drivetrain. Alongside the usual gasoline, diesel, and plug-in hybrid versions, there will be this hydrogen fuel cell derivative co-developed with Toyota. But that’s not all; a battery electric vehicle is also in the pipeline. There are even rumblings of an EV with a range extender, something Bavaria has experience with, having previously sold the quirky i3 hatchback with a small gas engine acting as a generator.
