BMW's anticipated i5 electric vehicle will be previewed via a new concept to be unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

Called the Notchback, the concept previews BMW's third 'i' model expected to be a sedan with up to 700km of range.

The i5 is planned to be introduced in 2021 as part of a range of up to 25 plug-in hybrid and pure electric vehicles announced by BMW chairman Harald Krüger in an update to the German car maker’s 'Number One Next' model strategy.

“By 2025, we will offer 25 electrified vehicles - 12 will be fully electric,” Krüger said in a statement. 

Krüger confirmed the existence of the new i model, referring to it as a “significant milestone in BMW’s roadmap for e-mobility”.

The BMW chairman also said “it is a vision of how we imagine a four-door, fully-electric vehicle between the i3 and i8. It is a vision we want to realise in the foreseeable future." 

The i5 is among four new pure electric models set to be confirmed by BMW at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Others include the first series production electric-powered MINI (pictured, below), an electric-powered version of the X3 and a separate i brand model known under the working title iNext.
