BMW pulled the covers off the eighth-generation 5 Series back in May 2023. Now, ahead of its official launch, which is expected to take place later this year, the model has been spotted in India for the first time.
As seen in the spy shots, the 2024 5 Series is finished in a shade of blue. The new design adopts a more streamlined appearance but retains the classic BMW silhouette. The front end features a bold, redesigned kidney grille flanked by sleek LED headlights. The car also has a sportier bumper with larger air intakes.
Interior likely to be high-tech
While the interior of the spotted car is not visible, based on global reveals, we can expect the new 5 Series to come with a driver-centric cockpit featuring a large digital instrument cluster and a prominent touchscreen infotainment system. The cabin will likely use high-quality materials and offer a wide range of comfort and convenience features.
Engine options yet to be revealed
The engine options for the India-spec 5 Series are yet to be revealed. However, globally, the car is offered with a variety of petrol and diesel engines, as well as a plug-in hybrid option. It is likely that BMW will offer a similar range of engines in India, catering to a diverse range of buyer preferences.
Expected launch in Q3 2024
The new-gen BMW 5 Series is expected to be launched in India in Q3 2024. When launched, it will compete with the likes of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Audi A6, and Jaguar XF.
The arrival of the new 5 Series is sure to excite BMW enthusiasts in India. The car’s stylish design, luxurious interior, and powerful engines make it a compelling proposition in the executive sedan segment.
