BMW has commenced bookings for the latest generation of the 5 Series in India, ahead of its official launch scheduled for July 24. This release marks the debut of the 5 Series in a Long Wheelbase (LWB) variant specifically tailored for the Indian market.
Enthusiasts can currently reserve the eighth-generation 5 Series in the 530Li M Sport LWB variant. Customers are offered a choice between two exterior paint options: M Carbon Black Metallic and Sparkling Copper Grey Metallic. The model also presents a selection between 18-inch mono-tone and 19-inch dual-tone wheels. To enhance customization, BMW has introduced trim options in Titanium Bronze and Aluminium Satinated.
The 2024 BMW 5 Series LWB showcases striking design upgrades. Its front end boasts an enlarged interpretation of BMW’s iconic kidney grille, complemented by curved LED daytime running lights integrated into the LED headlamps. Additional aesthetic features include black inserts on the bumper sides, ‘M’ badging on the front fender, flush-fitting door handles, ‘5’ badging on the C-pillar, and sleek wraparound LED taillights.
Inside, the new 5 Series sets its sights on competing with the Mercedes-Benz E-Class LWB by offering a wealth of luxurious features. The dashboard is highlighted by a curved dual-screen setup consisting of a 14.9-inch infotainment system and a 12.3-inch driver’s display. Notable interior amenities include a panoramic sunroof, four-zone climate control, reclining rear seats, a Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) suite, USB Type-C charging ports, and electrically adjustable and ventilated front seats.
Powering the new-gen 5 Series is expected to be a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder, turbo-petrol engine paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Shortly after launch, a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder diesel engine is anticipated to become available. BMW also plans to introduce a mild-hybrid system to complement these powertrain options.
The debut of the new BMW 5 Series LWB in India signifies a significant milestone in the luxury sedan segment, promising advanced technology, enhanced comfort features, and dynamic performance tailored to meet the discerning preferences of Indian consumers.
