The new BMW 5 Series Touring is making its debut with a choice of two straight-six petrol engines as well as a four-cylinder and a six-cylinder diesel. The BMW 520d Touring is powered by a 135 kW four-cylinder turbo diesel power unit featuring an aluminium crankcase and Common Rail direct injection. It is equipped with Auto Start Stop function as a standard feature, and with an average fuel consumption of 5.2 litres/100km and a CO2 emission figure of 137 g/km in an EU test cycle, it achieves the best efficiency in its segment.

Maximum power output of the straight-six engine featured in the BMW 523i Touring in lean operation is 150 kW. The BMW 530d Touring features a straight six-cylinder diesel with a 180 kW power output. Thanks to BMW BluePerformance technology it fulfills the EU6 emission standard. All versions of the new BMW 5 Series Touring fully comply with the EU5 requirement.

Travel in style and comfort

The luggage compartment has a capacity of 560 litres. If desired, an increase in capacity to a maximum of 1,670 litres is guaranteed by 40:20:40 split folding rear seats, which are unique in this segment. The backrest angle is variable by up to 11 degrees.
