BMW has finally unveiled the much-anticipated new-generation 5 Series in India, with a starting price of Rs 72.90 lakh (ex-showroom).

Marking another first, India becomes the global leader in right-hand drive markets to receive this exclusive variant. This new offering prioritizes spaciousness and luxurious comfort, making it the perfect companion for both business and leisure travel.
The all-new 5 Series Long Wheelbase boasts a bold and elegant design. The signature kidney grille, illuminated for a touch of modern flair, takes center stage. The flowing roofline and extended wheelbase (the longest in its segment) create a sleek and sophisticated profile.
Step inside and experience a driver-focused cockpit featuring the revolutionary BMW Curved Display. This high-resolution widescreen unit combines a 12.3-inch information display with a massive 14.9-inch control display, offering intuitive control over the vehicle’s features.
Comfort reigns supreme with vegan leather seats featuring active ventilation in both the front and rear. Generous legroom ensures a relaxing journey for all passengers. A Bowers & Wilkins surround sound system elevates every drive with concert-hall quality audio.
The 5 Series is packed with the latest advancements. The BMW Operating System 8.5 keeps you connected with intuitive voice commands and the ever-evolving BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant. Regular software updates ensure your car stays ahead of the curve.
The My BMW App allows you to remotely monitor your car’s status, lock/unlock doors, and even configure settings like top speed and audio preferences. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto integration seamlessly connect your smartphone for a world of entertainment and convenience.
The powerful 2.0-liter, four-cylinder petrol engine delivers 258 horsepower and 400 Nm of torque, effortlessly propelling the car from 0-100 km/h in just 6.5 seconds. An additional 48V electric motor provides a boost in both efficiency and performance.
The 8-speed Steptronic transmission ensures smooth gear changes, while the M Sport steering wheel and BMW My Modes allow you to personalize your driving experience.
The all-new 5 Series boasts a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance systems, including Attentiveness Assistant, Parking Assistant Professional, and various collision warnings. BMW EfficientDynamics technologies contribute to exceptional fuel economy and reduced emissions.
The arrival of the all-new, long-wheelbase 5 Series signifies a major commitment by BMW to the Indian market. This exclusive offering boasts both generous space and luxurious features, directly targeting the desires of discerning Indian customers who prioritize both comfort and driving thrills.
