BMW\u2019s pair of plug-in 5 Series models add more options to growing range<\/h2>\n


\n<\/p>\n

The all-new BMW 5 Series range is continuing to expand in the UK, with a pair of plug-in options now joining the existing mild-hybrid and all-electric models. The new 530e and high-spec 550e xDrive both feature new powertrains that offer the best of both worlds when it comes to all-electric efficiency plus the added range and versatility of a petrol-powered model. Both will be available exclusively in M Sport trim in the UK, each coming in standard or Pro forms.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 530e starts at \u00a359,455, and comes with a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine paired with BMW\u2019s latest plug-in hybrid system. This consists of an integrated e-motor and 19.4kWh lithium ion battery pack that helps the 530e achieve an impressive electric range of up to 62 miles. As with all plug-in hybrids, the advertised 403-470mpg figure is relative to having fully charged batteries, but still represents impressive overall efficiency from BMW\u2019s third generation 5 Series with a plug.\u00a0<\/p>\n
