October 14, 2016 – BMW has unveiled the all-new seventh-generation 5 Series, but the luxury sedan has a lot more going for it than just a new look.

The German brand’s designers didn’t significantly overhaul the 5 Series’ look for its new generation. The biggest changes are in front where the headlights now flow into the grille, which makes the nose appear wider. The kidneys now feature active slats that close when necessary for better aerodynamics.
BMW is launching the car with two new powertrains. Both use an eight-speed automatic gearbox and are optionally available with xDrive all-wheel drive. The 530i features a revised 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 248 horsepower and 349.8 Nm of torque. The range-topping engine for now is the 540i, using a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six with 335 hp and 450 Nm.
Despite being slightly bigger in size than its predecessor, it weighs up to 100 kilograms less thanks to the extensive use of high-strength steel, aluminum and magnesium.
The 2017 BMW 5 Series goes on sale in February 2017.
