First Glance: Estate with Attitude

The BMW 5 Series Touring wears the brand's executive silhouette with a sporty tilt — a long bonnet, a stretched roofline and wheels pushed to the corners that give the wagon both presence and poise. Proportions are classic BMW rather than overstyled, so it reads as premium and practical from most angles, and at about 5,060 mm long it still looks slim compared with many SUVs. Exterior details, from the slim headlights to the pronounced shoulder, signal this is an everyday car that prefers the open road to the car park.

Cabin: Executive Comfort, Modern Controls

The interior mixes soft-touch surfaces, real metal or wood trims and supportive seats to create a calm long-distance environment where quality feels consistent across trim levels. Technology is centred on BMW's large screens and the latest iDrive, with intuitive rotary control plus touch and voice options so interactions stay simple on the move. Controls are sensibly laid out, and the seats offer the kind of adjustability that matters on long commutes or cross-country runs.

Boot and Family Space: Practical Without Compromise

The Touring delivers genuine estate utility with a boot around 570 litres in normal configuration and up to about 1,700 litres with the rear seats folded, which is roomy enough for a family holiday or weekend DIY haul. Five full-size seats remain usable for adults, and the load floor is low and sensible for loading bulky items, while overall width and a length near 5,060 mm mean rear-legroom is generous. Payload figures near the mid-500 kg mark mean the car can carry luggage and passengers without feeling strained.

On the Road: Balanced, Precise, and Flexible

Driving manners lean towards a composed and communicative feel — rear-wheel-drive setups deliver the classic BMW balance, while xDrive all-wheel variants add traction and composure in poor weather. Powertrains range from efficient diesels to potent plug-in hybrids, so performance can be relaxed or rapid: entry diesels produce around 197 hp for brisk motorway progress, the 540d pushes to about 303 hp, and the M5 Touring PHEV escalates to a supercar-tinged 727 hp with sub-4-second 0–100 km/h times. The suspension options favour comfort on long trips but can be sharpened with adaptive setups for tighter body control when desired.

Real-World Economy: Low Consumption or Short Electric Range — Pick Both

Diesel mild-hybrids return impressively low official figures of roughly 5.3–6.0 L/100 km, which translates to well over 900–1,000 km between fill-ups on a typical 60-litre tank for long-distance drivers. Plug-in hybrids offer electric ranges that can reach close to 98 km in ideal conditions thanks to ~19 kWh batteries, cutting running costs for daily commutes but requiring charging discipline for the best economy. Petrol MHEV variants sit between these extremes, offering smooth refinement but higher fuel bills than the diesels or a charged PHEV in urban use.

Driver Aids and Infotainment: Polished, Comprehensive, Familiar

BMW's tech stack includes a large central display, digital instrument cluster and available head-up display, all integrated with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and OTA update capabilities so the car stays current. Advanced driver assistance systems cover adaptive cruise with lane-centering, blind-spot monitoring and parking aids, delivering semi-autonomous support on highways while still requiring driver attention. The overall package feels mature and well implemented rather than gimmicky, with sensible ergonomics for everyday use.

Who Should Buy the 5 Series Touring?

This Touring is aimed at buyers who want executive style, genuine loadspace and a rewarding driving experience without stepping up to an SUV — think professionals with families, small-business users who need boot capacity, or enthusiasts who refuse to sacrifice dynamics. There are efficient diesel MHEVs for high-mileage drivers, plug-in hybrids for low-emission city work and high-performance variants for those after pace, so the range covers most needs. The 5 Series Touring is pragmatic luxury: comfortable for daily life, engaging when asked, and useful when the weekend arrives.
