Launching Today: Next-Gen BMW 5 Series

German carmaker BMW will launch the all-new 5 Series in India today. Tagged as one of the best executive saloons in its segment, BMW say the new one has everything to take the Indian luxury car segment by storm. Authorised dealers across the country have been accepting bookings for the new sedan for nearly two months with a refundable amount of Rs 2 lakh.

Into its seventh-generation, the new 5 Series made its global debut in October last year. That means the Munich-based automaker has taken more than eight months to bring it to India. On the outside, the looks echo its big brother, the 7 Series. Those looks are accompanied by features such as adaptive dampers, LED headlamps with optional adaptive LED lights and an anti-dazzle high-beam tech that extends the viewing range up to half a kilometre. On the inside, the feature list includes four-zone climate control, a new-gen iDrive system and electric seats with massage functions.

BMW will offer three different engine options. The entry level 520d, which will likely be the most popular choice, will be powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged diesel engine producing 190PS of power and 400Nm of torque. Customers looking for a petrol-powered 5 Series will have to opt for the 530i, which houses a 252PS/350Nm 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine. It is the same motor that powers the BMW 330i GT as well. The range topper will have the 530d moniker on the boot lid and will be powered by a 3.0-litre turbocharged diesel engine generating 265PS/620Nm. All engines will come paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission as standard.

Its list of direct rivals include the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Volvo S90, Audi A6 and the Jaguar XF.
