Executive Sedan of the Year
BMW 5 Series Sedan Mild Hybrid
BMW is a brand that has always appealed to driving enthusiasts. You don’t even have to opt for a model from the BMW M division to get an engaging drive. However, the new 5 Series is quite different - it is now cushier and larger.

While its steering is sharp and responsive, it is also much lighter and isolated than you’ll expect. In all, the 5 Series offers a driving experience inclined towards comfort, calmness and luxury.

It is no stranger how the 5 series have never failed to garner the attraction since the F10 era. Starting with elegance is that long car body with that signature front grille to bring out the identity of BMW. The sports factor would be that 20" Aerodynamic wheels which is lighter and saves you that hassle to change the stock rims for those aftermarket forged rims for a lightweight drive. This is a well thought concept as the driving experience packs a bag of comfort and smooth cornering. Color selection is worth commending with a good range of dark colors and 4 colors upholstery vegan leather seats(with my preferred red) should be highly sought after.The fuel consumption is rather decent on local roads driving for a day and clocked in 12km/l, but was able to get beyond 15.1km/h during the long drive in US.The main attention would be the drivers seat with a long stretch of screen panel that combines both infotainment and the driver dashboard. The noticeable details in the car would be the limited buttons and the vent buttons are positioned right below the dashboard, and another interesting feature would be the internal camera which act as a 360 coverage of your car.The overall trim and interaction bar is worth a mention as the 5 series has gotten the 7 series built up, making sure this 5 series is a bang for buck.
 
Driven 2 months G60 (520i) model so far so good. Fuel consumption is up to expectation. Quiet and easy to handle. High Tech features and luv the handling. Latest 8.5 version iDrive user friendly.
 
The BMW 5 Series has a new exterior and comes with plenty of screens in the cabin. And its still has all the bits that make it fun to drive underneath.
 
The BMW 5 Series has grown and become all angular - but is it the executive sedan for the eager driver?
Verdict
The BMW 5 Series is a car that the manufacturer claims to be the world's most successful executive sedan, and there's no reason to doubt it. From a brand that places a strong emphasis on driving enjoyment, the 5 Series is a sedan that many enthusiasts have a soft spot for. At the same time, being the mid-sized offering from one of the ‘big three' European premium car manufacturers, the 5 Series hits the sweet spot for up-and-coming executives and successful businessmen alike.

While the BMW 5 Series has always been the sportier one among its peers in its segment, the German brand wiped the slate clean with the latest iteration. Larger, cushier, even more refined and easier to drive, the 5 Series has matured into the ideal car for its target market - successful individuals looking for a refined drive.

With a size that is almost comparable to the previous generation's 7 Series, the new 5 Series has a stately and composed presence. Sleek design elements work together with the almost outlandish Iconic Glow illuminated grille to result in an undeniably striking first impression - there's no way for one to miss the 5 Series.

Get in and you'll be greeted with a large Curved Display that houses a 12.3-inch digital cluster and a massive 14.9-inch infotainment touchscreen display. Air vents are concealed, with the crystalline Interaction Bar snatching all the attention within the cabin. Top notch materials and excellent fit and finish complete an upmarket interior, not unlike something you'll expect in the top-rung 7 Series.

While power and sheer performance isn't the strong suit of the 5 Series, it more than makes up for that with a sharp and responsive steering, and a cushy, pampering ride quality. The 5 Series may have moved on slightly from outright performance and dynamism, but the comfort, calmness and luxurious drive makes it every bit worthy of the title of the Executive Sedan of The Year.
