Despite the all-electric BMW i5’s appeal for company car drivers, the new 5 Series lineup, devoid of diesel options, still impresses with its variety of mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid engines. Starting at around £51,000 for the 520i and going up to £76,500 for the 550e xDrive, there’s a model for every executive’s taste.

Opting for the standard M Sport trim provides ample features like 19-inch wheels, adaptive LED lights, and a high-quality Harman Kardon stereo. The 5 Series continues to excel in handling, with the plug-in hybrid models demonstrating superior control to competitors like the Mercedes E-Class.

The fuel economy remains competitive, although the Mercedes E-Class offers a more extended EV range in hybrid form. However, the BMW i5 stands out for those looking to minimize company car taxes. Inside, the 5 Series feels as luxurious as the 7 Series, boasting advanced infotainment and high-end finishes. With ample boot space, it comfortably accommodates all passengers, regardless of the engine variant.

Safety is paramount, and the BMW 5 Series has a five-star Euro NCAP rating and the latest safety tech. Whether in petrol, hybrid, or electric form, it continues to set the benchmark for executive cars, combining refinement and performance in a well-rounded package.
