Four Wins At The EcoCar Electrified Top 50 Awards

BMW achieved four category wins at the 2026 EcoCar Electrified Top 50 Awards, showcasing the depth and quality of its electrified model line-up.

These awards underline BMW’s continued progress in electric and plug-in hybrid technology, offering customers a wide choice of models that combine efficiency, performance, comfort and everyday usability.

BMW iX Continues Its Award-Winning Success

The BMW iX has been one of BMW’s standout electric models since launch, and its latest EcoCar win further reinforces its position in the luxury electric SUV market.

With its bold design, spacious cabin, advanced technology and refined electric performance, the BMW iX continues to appeal to drivers looking for a premium electric SUV with real presence and long-distance comfort.

BMW 5 Series And BMW i5 Recognised

The BMW 5 Series and BMW i5 also received major recognition at the EcoCar Electrified Top 50 Awards, highlighting the strength of BMW’s executive car range.

The BMW 5 Series was named Best Plug-in Hybrid Executive Car, recognising its balance of performance, efficiency and premium comfort. Meanwhile, the BMW i5 was named Best Electric Executive Car, celebrating its fully electric driving experience, advanced technology and refined character.

Together, the 5 Series and i5 show how BMW is giving customers more choice, whether they prefer plug-in hybrid flexibility or fully electric driving.

BMW 1 Series And 2 Series Win At Auto Express Driver Power Awards

BMW also enjoyed success at the 2026 Auto Express Driver Power Awards, with the BMW 1 Series and BMW 2 Series both winning key categories.

The BMW 1 Series was named Best Family Car, with strong customer feedback for its technology, interior styling and reliability. It also scored highly for front seat comfort, with 93.2% of owners rating it positively.
