2017 BMW 5 Series 530e iPerformance Review – Video

 

The hybrid version of the new 5 series is the 530e iPerformance, which combines an electric motor with a 2.0-liter turbo four for a total system output of 252 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque and delivers 28 miles of EV range.

Size-wise, the new 5 pretty much stays the course. Its dimensions are all within an inch of the previous car’s, except for overall length, which grows by 1.2 inches. Unlike the current 7-series, the 5-series does not use carbon-fiber reinforcements in its structure, but BMW says weight-saving measures such as an aluminum trunklid, roof, and doors pared up to 137 pounds.
