The BMW 5 Series Saloon is the perfect example of a stylish business saloon. The 530e plug-in hybrid models blend the best of both worlds to create an optimized executive vehicle.
With an engine power of 292hp, the 530e can live up to its heritage as a sports saloon. Still, it also offers company car owners significant savings in financial costs in fuel usage of up to 201.8mpg with CO2 emissions of 32g/km and BIK bandings starting at only 11 percent.
This is why the Business Motoring Awards once more chose the 530e to be the best Executive Car.
Alongside its on-road and off-road capabilities, The 5 Series has been designed specifically with fleet managers. The UK comes with advanced technologies that aim to make the vehicle more affordable and easier to use. For instance, the standard Parking Assistant’s list of functions has been expanded with the addition of a reverse assistant, which can take charge of steering when turning back for distances up to 50 meters.
The 530e also features an in-real-time projection of traffic conditions to assist drivers in planning their routes efficiently. Its Drive Recorder option, when combined with Parking Assistant Plus, uses in-built cameras to capture video footage from various locations around the vehicle. It then stores the footage so it can later be viewed via the display on the control panel or exported using USB. USB port. These two options can aid fleets in avoiding low-speed incidents that could cost thousands to fix.
The range of full-electric is about 30 miles, or about what’s the norm in the field, and there’s an Electric mode in the drive select, which ensures that the vehicle will remain on the road as an electric vehicle for the duration of time that the battery lasts.
