The outgoing car bested the likes of the Volvo V90, Mercedes E-Class Estate and Jaguar XF Sportbrake in several of our executive estate group tests over the past few years.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>BMW\u2019s latest teaser image doesn\u2019t reveal too much about the new 5 Series Touring but we can see that the angle from the roof down the rear of the car is less steep than on its predecessor for a sportier side profile. The 5 Series Touring traditionally gets a bespoke set of rear lights different to those on the saloon and here again we can see a fresh rear light signature compared to the new 5 Series saloon\u2019s one. The front end will probably be identical to the saloon\u2019s, however.\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--OB7fgkm3--\/f_auto,t_related-embed-mobile@1\/v1695817674\/autoexpress\/2023\/09\/BMW%20530e%20-%20front%20quarter_et5qxz.jpg\">UK buyers can now get BMW&#x27;s 530e and 550e xDrive plug-in hybrids<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>BMW says the new Touring will share the same set of powertrains as the saloon. That means there\u2019ll be a selection of 48-volt mild hybrid, plug-in hybrid and even a fully-electric variant in the shape of the i5 Touring. The EV will eventually have competition from the upcoming Audi A6 e-tron Avant, which we expect to launch in 2024 as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Touring\u2019s model range should mirror the saloon\u2019s, so a 520i sDrive will kick off the line up, costing from around \u00a350,000. It\u2019ll come with a 205bhp 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, complete with 48-volt mild-hybrid assistance integrated into its eight-speed automatic gearbox. The 7.5-second 0-62mph time will be slightly slower due to the extra weight of the estate body. For the first time ever there won\u2019t be a diesel 5 Series Touring. We can expect more powerful petrol offerings further down the line.<\/p>\n<p>This generation of 5 Series also marks a return of the M5 Touring, which we last saw in E61 form in the mid-2000s with a naturally-aspirated V10. The new car will most likely utilise the 644bhp plug-in hybrid 4.4-litre V8 from the new XM. We\u2019ve already caught the M5 Touring testing on the Nurburgring so a 2024 launch for the super estate seems likely.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Check out the latest BMW news and reviews here&#8230;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoexpress.co.uk\/bmw\/5-series\/361277\/dont-buy-suv-just-yet-new-bmw-5-series-touring-almost-here\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BMW teases the next-generation 5 Series estate ahead of its 2024 launch With the new 5 Series due to hit showrooms on 21 October, BMW has begun officially teasing the more practical Touring model with this estate version set for its debut in spring 2024.\u00a0 The 5 Series Touring is one of our favourite estates and the new model will [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Don&#x27;t buy that SUV just yet!
