Introduction
The BMW 5 Series is a model that has endured over time, despite not having the same success as in past decades. Although sedans are no longer as popular as before, this model is still a decisive choice for those drivers who prefer to avoid SUVs.
Fierce Competition
The European premium sedan market is highly competitive, and the BMW 5 Series faces major rivals such as the Mercedes E-Class and the Audi A6. These models are also benchmarks in their segment and represent tough competition for the 5 Series.
Featured News
Despite having been on the market for just over a year, BMW has introduced interesting new features in this new generation of the 5 Series. However, unlike usual, these new features do not focus on the exterior design or interior of the vehicle, since the model has just been launched. On the other hand, the main new features are found in the mechanical section.
Updated Engines
One of the main novelties is the four-wheel drive option for the access engine, which is still a 197 horsepower diesel engine with a light micro hybridization system. This allows drivers to choose between front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. In addition, BMW has expanded the range of the 5 Series with a new 303 horsepower diesel engine and all-wheel drive, which offers a sportier option in both the sedan and estate body styles.
The Plug-in Hybrid Version
However, the most interesting version of the BMW 5 Series is the one with a plug-in hybrid engine. This model offers a total power of 299 horsepower and an electric range of 94 km, making it a perfect choice for both daily use and long road trips and highways.
Conclusion
Despite strong competition and changing market preferences, the BMW 5 Series remains an attractive option for drivers looking for a premium saloon. With a starting price of €60,000, this model is likely to remain a hit in some European markets.
