The 2024 BMW 5 series has traditionally occupied the middle ground in BMW’s sedan lineup, appealing to buyers who desire a size that is not as large as the 7-series but more spacious than the 3-series. The upcoming next generation of the 5-series stays true to this narrative, offering a roomy interior equipped with luxurious features.
The new 5-series boasts a digital dashboard with BMW’s iDrive 8.5 interfaces and the option for the company’s hands-free driver-assistance system. In the previous generation, some of the sporty handlings were compromised in favor of comfort, but BMW seems to have learned from the new 7-series and incorporated a more driver-focused approach in its larger sedans. Despite the current 5-series still being relatively recent, having received an update a few years ago, this complete redesign ensures its competitiveness against rivals like the Audi A6, Genesis G80, and the newly redesigned Mercedes-Benz E-class.
