The BMW Group now offers the world's largest selection of premium automobiles with an electrified drive system. 21 electrified models (Full Electric and Plug-in Hybrid) and 71 with 48-volt mild hybrid technology are available on the Italian market.With a ten-year sustainability plan, the BMW Group underlines its commitment to the goals of the Paris climate agreement, focusing primarily on expanding electric mobility. Today, BMW and MINI brands with all-electric and plug-in hybrid propulsion systems already account for around 13.3 percent of all new registrations across Europe (source: IHS Markit New Registrations Report July 2020). This corresponds to 1.5 times the average share of all brands, which is around 8%. The Group expects this figure to rise to a quarter by 2021, to a third by 2025 and to 50% by 2030.
The BMW 5 Series Touring, the epitome of driving pleasure, sporty elegance and modern functionality in the premium upper mid-range segment, is entering a new era. The new BMW 5 Series Touring is a sophisticated all-rounder for everyday driving and touring, offering stylish presence, superior sportiness, versatility and spacious comfort.Dynamically stretched proportions and generously designed surfaces characterise the exterior of the new BMW 5 Series Touring. The distinctive front end features a modern interpretation of the hallmark twin headlights and BMW grille. Two almost vertical LED elements serve as direction indicators and daytime running lights respectively. At the heart of the progressive, driver-oriented cockpit design is the BMW Curved Display. Its 12.3-inch Information Display and the Control Display with a screen diagonal of 14.9 inches form a fully digital display network. The modern premium ambience in the interior is further enhanced by the new sports seats fitted as standard, the steering wheel, which is now flatter at the bottom, and the optional BMW Interaction Bar.
With its clearly structured surfaces, dynamic lines and large air intakes, the front apron adds even greater emphasis to the sporty appearance of the new BMW 3 Series Sedan and BMW 3 Series Touring. The redesigned headlights and kidney grille also give the car strong visual presence. The standard full-LED headlights are now much slimmer, with clear contours and daytime driving lights arranged in an inverted L shape to create a harmonious and modern look.Adaptive LED Headlights are available as an option, and are identifiable by the blue accents inside their covers. Blue light effects below the headlight units also give the front end a striking and high-class appearance in the hours of darkness. The Adaptive LED Headlights’ range of functions includes the cornering light and non-dazzling matrix high beam as well as dynamic headlight range control and variable light distribution.The lightly modified contours and new double bars give the BMW kidney grille an even more powerful look. Air intakes in Black high-gloss positioned below the kidney grille cool the braking system and add a sophisticated touch.
Increased efficiency through consistent electrification, optimised emissions and innovations in the areas of driver assistance and digital services are the focus of the model revision measures for numerous BMW model series that will take effect in autumn 2020. From November 2020, all models of the premium brand will meet the requirements of the currently strictest exhaust emission standard Euro 6d. In the BMW 5 Series, the range of plug-in hybrid models has been extended by three new variants. New inline 6-cylinder diesel engines and 48-volt mild hybrid technology lower fuel consumption and emissions of selected models in the BMW 3 Series and BMW 8 Series. In addition, further engines will supplement the drive portfolio of the BMW 1 Series and the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé.
Plug-in hybrid range expands to five models: latest-generation BMW eDrive technology now also offered for the BMW 5 Series Touring. BMW 530e Touring (fuel consumption, combined: 2.0 – 1.8 l/100 km [141.2 – 156.9 mpg imp]; electric power consumption, combined: 16.1 – 15.4 kWh/100 km; CO2 emissions, combined: 46 – 42 g/km), BMW 530e xDrive Touring (fuel consumption, combined: 2.4 – 2.2 l/100 km [117.7 – 128.4 mpg imp]; electric power consumption, combined: 16.7 – 16.1 kWh/100 km; CO2 emissions, combined: 54 – 50 g/km) and BMW 545e xDrive Sedan (fuel consumption, combined: 2.3 – 2.2 l/100 km [122.8 – 128.4 mpg imp]; electric power consumption, combined: 16.3 – 15.8 kWh/100 km; CO2 emissions, combined: 53 – 49 g/km) with six-cylinder in-line combustion engine available from autumn 2020. New BMW eDrive Zone function – standard for all plug-in hybrid models – automatically switches the car to all-electric mode when entering ‘green zones’.Introduction of new 48V mild hybrid technology for all four- and six-cylinder engines (country-specific availability); more rapid responses and enhanced efficiency thanks to 48V starter-generator; 8 kW/11 hp power spike to both lighten the combustion engine’s workload and boost its power.
