The eighth generation of BMW's 5 Series saloon has been revealed and will get to its first Irish customers in October at a starting price of €69,850, writes Brian Byrne.
The new car is longer, taller and wider than the outgoing version, and there's also a longer wheelbase which provides for extra room inside. A new Touring estate version will come in 2024.
In addition to 208hp and 601hp petrol engine options, the new 5-Series will have an all-electric version, the i5 with 340hp and a rated range from 477km-582km. Plug-in hybrid versions are slated to arrive in early 2024.
There will be three trim options for the Irish market.
