In May 2023, BMW unveiled its eighth-generation BMW 5 Series lineup. Over a year later, the business formally declared that this popular sedan would make its Indian debut on July 24. The Mercedes-Benz E-Class, which is offered as LWB in India, will be directly rivaled by the new 5 Series when it arrives in a long wheelbase (LWB) configuration.
Interior design
With the introduction of BMW 5 Series India will become the second market after China to receive the 5 Series in LWB configuration. Previously, in April 2024, the i5, the new 5 Series’ electrified variant, made its debut in India. The 2024 BMW 5 Series’ exterior characteristics include the iconic kidney grille design and redesigned headlights with twin C-shaped LED DRLs, chunky front bumper with silver inserts, new alloy wheels, illuminated grille, new wraparound two-piece LED taillights, and ‘5’ badge on the C-pillar. Inside the new generation 5 Series, you will get a 14.9-inch freestanding touchscreen system, a 12.3-inch fully digital driver console, reclining rear seats, four-zone climate control, panoramic sunroof and a foldable 31.1-inch display for second-row passengers.
Drivetrain
Anticipated powertrain possibilities for the new 5 Series include 2.0-liter turbo-petrol and diesel engines, mated to a mild hybrid setup. Across the range, an 8-speed automatic transmission will be offered.
With whom will he compete?
It will go up against the Mercedes-Benz E-Class at launch, which comes in three different models: Expression, Exclusive, and the brand-new AMG Line. While the last variation is exclusively offered with a diesel engine, the previous two variants are available with both gasoline and diesel engines. They are priced between Rs 63.6 lakh and Rs 80.9 lakh ex-showroom. 2.0-liter gasoline (E200) or diesel (E220d) engines are available for the Expression and Exclusive models of the E-Class. The gasoline engine generates 320 Nm of torque and 197 PS of power, however, the diesel engine produces 194 PS of power and 400Nm of torque.
