2021 BMW 5 Series Sedan: Review, Trims, Specs, Price, New Interior Features, Exterior Design, and Specifications | CarBuzz

We’re now halfway into the seventh generation of BMW’s luxury midsize sedan, the BMW 5 Series. That means it’s time for a refresh featuring the now-requisite longer kidney grille, revised headlights and taillights, some new paint choices, and refinement for hybrid models, along with the accompanying revision of the interior to finally include Android Auto. But even with comprehensive revision, the 5 Series recipe is much the same as it was before. It’s a sedan that has long been a benchmark for premium sedans that are as happy on a long freeway ride as they are in heavy traffic or on a winding backroad – a true driver’s luxury sedan, if you will, that prioritizes performance over the comfort of a Mercedes-Benz E-Class or the technocentricity of the Audi A6.

However, the newest generation of 5 Series is one of the most well-rounded yet. It has encroached more on Mercedes territory while retaining a sharp chassis and great driving dynamics. With power ranging from 248 horsepower to 523 hp and engines including turbocharged four-pots, plug-in hybrids, and a twin-turbo semi-M V8, there’s something for everyone.
