The new generation of the BMW 5 Series

The BMW 5 Series and 5 Series Hybrid Sedan G60 Prototype were spotted on the streets of Munich. The cars are wrapped in camouflage, as it is obvious that BMW has not opted for the final design.

Although the final design has not been revealed, some rumors say the new generation will have a new front grille, a plug-in hybrids charging connector, and could have an increasingly popular light strip on the trunk bulge. We can say that BMW is playing it safe with the new generation 5 Series.

The interior was not revealed, since the car was filmed in motion. But previous testing suggests the 5 Series could have iDrive 8 infotainment.

Speaking of powertrain, the 5 Series will most likely be powered by standard ICE and hybrid engines. According to some information, BMW also plans to produce a fully electric model, which should be positioned between the i4 and i7.

The arrival of the new generation 5 Series is expected in 2023.
