Find out more about each model and why judges were so impressed with them.

BMW i4

If you are looking for a mid-sized coupe that delivers style and performance – look no further than the BMW i4. The luxury design features the iconic BMW kidney grille, paired with striking front and rear lights.

Offering an impressive range of up to 359 miles (WLTP), you can accelerate from 0-62mph in just 5.6 seconds. While the spacious interior includes everything you need for a connected and comfortable drive.

Business Car said on the win: “Despite more EV and ICE-powered rivals, none can still touch the BMW i4. Whether you go for the eDrive 35, or the range-topping M50, the excellent electric range is trustworthy, it oozes driver appeal, and it’s practical with the hatchback design.”

BMW 5 Series

The 5 Series has been a flagship model in the BMW line-up since its release back in 1972. Now in its eighth generation, it offers more choice than ever with the option of a petrol, diesel, plug-in hybrid, or fully electric powertrain.

Judges said: “The replacement for the last 5 Series had big shoes to fill, but whether you choose EV, PHEV, or ICE power, the i5/5 Series remains our executive pick. It looks great inside and out, there’s the additional choice of Touring estate versions, and all offer a keen drive.”

BMW X1

Looking for your next family SUV? Meet the BMW X1. Now in its second generation, choose from ICE, a plug-in hybrid or fully electric powertrains depending on your needs.

Inside, you have everything you need for a safe, connected and comfortable drive with the whole family. There’s also an impressive boot capacity of up to 540 litres, which increases to up to 1,600 when the rear seats are folded down.

Commenting on the win, judges hailed the car as “an attractive package” with a “spacious interior”, “willing performance” and “a great drive, plus the accomplished range for EV and plug-in versions equals low running costs.”
