Body & Dimensions
The BMW 5 Series Station Wagon is a spacious and well-proportioned 5-seater with a comfortable ride. Its dimensions (5060mm L x 1900mm W x 1515mm H) suggest a balance between interior room and maneuverability, aided by a relatively tight turning circle (12.3m). The longer wheelbase (2995mm) hints at a comfortable ride for passengers. While the ground clearance (147mm) is typical for a car of this class, it might not be ideal for rough terrains.

Battery - Electric / Hybrid
The 5 Series electric vehicle boasts a relatively compact 22.1 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, located beneath the floor. This powers a synchronous electric motor generating 184 hp and 250 Nm of torque, positioned between the combustion engine and transmission. The car offers a range of 83-95 km (51.57 - 59.03 mi) on a single charge, with energy consumption figures ranging from 20.6-22.6 kWh/100 km. Charging is facilitated via a Type 2 AC connection on the front left. The car's top speed in electric mode is 140 km/h (86.99 mph).

Weight & Capacity
The 5 Series boasts a relatively balanced weight-to-power and weight-to-torque ratio, suggesting a decent performance. Its kerb weight is substantial, but the maximum weight and load capacity indicate a vehicle designed for carrying passengers and cargo. The fuel tank capacity is average, and the trunk space offers a good amount of flexibility, expanding from a minimum of 570 liters to a maximum of 1700 liters. Towing capacity is moderate, with a permissible trailer load of 1800 kg with brakes and 750 kg without. Roof load capacity is also limited to 100 kg.
The 5 Series wagon offers a generous cargo capacity, though the exact volume would depend on the specific trim and configuration. Its overall dimensions suggest ample space for luggage and other items.
The relatively small turning circle (12.3m) makes parking easier compared to cars with larger turning radii. However, its overall width (including mirrors) should be considered when parking in tight spaces.
Fuel efficiency depends on the engine type and driving style. Consult the official BMW specifications for the specific model and engine to get accurate fuel economy figures.
The 5 Series accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 6.4 seconds and has a top speed of 220 km/h (136.7 mph).
