It's only been a month since Mercedes unveiled the 2024 E-Class and BMW is ready to fight back. Say hello to the revamped 5 Series, internally known by its "G60" codename. Available globally with gasoline, diesel, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric powertrains, the luxury sedan should have something for everyone. Well, except for a V8-powered version since the M550i is a no-show, at least for the time being.
Spy shots and teaser images have painted an accurate picture of what to expect from the design. The key word here is "evolutionary" since BMW refrained from adopting the controversial styling cues of the 7 Series, X7, and XM. According to the company's Head of Design, Domagoj Dukec, the intent was to "create the most elegant BMW." The statement was made at a private unveiling of the new 5er prior to today's world premiere.
