BMW 5 Series cars offer top performance when it comes to luxury cars in India. The brand will soon release the BMW 5 Series LWB in India. The line-up is expected to launch in India on 24 July 2024. There are many other speculations about the BMW 5 Series LWB Launch. If you’re also excited about the unveiling of this next-gen BMW 5 Series, we’ve provided everything about the launch. 

What features does the BMW 5 Series LWB get?

The 2024 BMW 5 Series LWB is said to be the most iconic automobile of India’s BMW and will give tough competition to the Mercedes-Benz E-Class that is due at the end of this year. The BMW 5 Series LWB 2024 brings some amazing features. These include:

More Sporty Exteriors

BMW 5 Series LWB comes with many familiar elements, but the range is bigger than that of the outgoing 5 Series models. With a 3.1 metre wheelbase, the BMW 5 Series LWB Long Wheelbase is better than the E-Class, whose wheelbase measures 3.09 metres. The car’s extra elongated body makes it one of the most classy cars on the streets. Furthermore, the exterior features also include a multi-spoke design for the alloy wheels, sharper bumpers and a revised kidney grille. 

More Comfy Interiors

BMW 5 Series LWB interior highlights a cabin design, which was first noticed in the iX. The car offers a minimalistic design with a big front screen display divided between the driver and the passenger. Keeping minimalism in mind, the centre console is packed with gear selector elements, driving modes and volume controls. 

Since the wheelbase is longer in this car, it offers a comfortable seating arrangement for passengers in the rear seat, which is a drawback for the outgoing 5 Series models. However, you cannot adjust the seats in the second row as they are fixed. Nevertheless, they offer huge leg space. The other features of the BMW Series 5 LWB include an 18-speaker Bowers and Wilkins sound system, multi-zone climate control, ventilated front seats and a wireless phone charger. 

Power Of Engine

The BMW 5 Series LWB is expected to offer both petrol and diesel engines, i.e. hybrid type engines. For improved performance, reduced emissions and better fuel efficiency, this car comes with the power of two types of engine. However, this option is speculated to be present overseas. As for India, it will only have a single petrol engine. 

Off-Road Capabilities

BMW Series 5 LWB is a luxury sedan and is mostly focused on on-road trails. Its long wheelbase is specifically designed for on-road drive and comfort; thus, it has limited off-road capabilities. You can expect this car to perform some light off-road activities, which include cruising through well-maintained gravel roads. The multi-spoke design of the alloy wheels allows the car to drive through gentle inclines. 

Launch BMW 5 series LWB price Details & Launch Detail

The new BMW 5 series is expected to offer 530d and 530i variants as its outgoing models. Also, the line-up will introduce sports guises of 530d and 530i. The powertrains in these variants would be backed up with ZF-sourced eight-speed AT, which would gear up the rear wheels. 

It is expected that the launch BMW 5 Series LWB price would start from INR 85 Lakhs and go up to 1 crore. Another striking detail about this car is that it would rival the Mercedes-Benz E-Class LWB and Audi A6. 

Conclusion

The new BMW 5 Series LWB would be a game-changer among the premium sedan cars that we see in India. Only after its launch can you understand its capabilities in terms of on-road and off-road driving. However, one thing that this car can easily provide is the elongated space on the rear end. 

The upcoming BMW 5 Series LWB promises to redefine luxury with its sporty design, advanced features, and enhanced comfort. With a starting price expected between INR 85 Lakhs and 1 crore, it stands as a formidable contender against rivals like the Mercedes-Benz E-Class LWB and Audi A6. For those exploring luxury cars for sale, used BMW cars, second-hand Mercedes cars, and used Audi cars, this new model offers an exciting option to consider.
