It is said that the premium sedan has been sold out as BMW prepares to launch the eight-gen 5 Series in India.<\/p>\n<p>The eighth-generation 5 Series made its global debut in May this year. As per reports, it is expected to be launched in India in the third quarter of 2024. BMW also plans to introduce the all-electric i5 around the same time.<\/p>\n<p>In India, the 5 Series is likely to get 2.0-litre petrol (520i) and diesel (520d) engines but will miss out on the plug-in hybrid powertrain options available globally.<\/p>\n<p>The i5, on the other hand, comes in rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations. The entry-level eDrive40 variant has a range of 582 km, while the top-spec M60 xDrive dual-motor version packs 593 BHP and 820 Nm and can cover 516 km on a single charge (WLTP cycle). It is still unclear as to which variant will make it to India.<\/p>\n<p>Mercedes-Benz is also expected to launch the next-gen E-Class in India around the same time.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/news\/rumour-bmw-5-series-bookings-halted-india\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 5 Series is likely to get 2.0-litre petrol (520i) and diesel (520d) engines in India.
