The all-new 5 Series Touring from BMW is making waves in the automotive world. With its larger size and impressive features, this car is sure to turn heads. Measuring at 199.2 inches long, 74.8 inches wide, and 59.6 inches tall, it is longer, wider, and taller than its predecessor. The wheelbase has also been extended, providing a more spacious interior.
Speaking of the interior, the 5 Series Touring offers a generous amount of cargo space. With 20.1 cu-ft of space behind the rear seats, which can expand to 60 cu-ft by folding them flat, there is plenty of room for all your belongings. BMW has also included additional storage options under the trunk floor, making it easy to stay organized. Loading and unloading is a breeze with the electric tailgate.
Inside the cabin, you’ll find a stunning display of technology. The 5 Series Touring features 12.3-inch digital gauges and a 14.9-inch infotainment screen. These sit behind a curved pane of glass, creating a sleek and modern look. Optional features such as Merino leather upholstery, a panoramic glass roof, and premium audio from Bowers & Wilkins are also available.
Safety is a top priority for BMW, and the 5 Series Touring does not disappoint. It comes equipped with a variety of safety systems, including an eye-activated lane change assistant. This feature is sure to impress both passengers and drivers alike. For those looking for a more autonomous driving experience, the car can be ordered with a semi-autonomous driving function.
On the outside, the 5 Series Touring maintains BMW’s iconic design. With its muscular wheel arches, arched roofline, and slim taillamps, it exudes style and sophistication. The kidney grille can even be illuminated, making the vehicle more visible at night. Standard wheels range from 18 to 19 inches, but up to 21-inch alloys are available as an option.
Under the hood, European customers can choose from a range of engine options. The 2.0L diesel engine offers 194 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque, and features mild hybrid technology. It comes with an eight-speed automatic gearbox and optional xDrive all-wheel drive. More engine options, including a six-pot diesel and two plug-in hybrids, will be available later this year.
For those interested in electric options, the i5 Touring is the way to go. It comes in the eDrive40 flavor, with a rear-mounted motor that generates 335 hp and 317 lb-ft of torque.
