BMW 5 Series
The 5 Series is a long-running nameplate that returns for 2023 with no major changes. It’s available in a number of variants and powertrains, starting with a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder. Next up is a plug-in hybrid offering up to 31 km of pure EV range. Fans of six-cylinder engines can turn to the 540i, while a twin-turbo 4.4-litre V8 lies under the hood of the mighty M550i and M5 Competition, the latter packing 617 horsepower.
