BMW G30

About this car

The BMW 5 Series G30, launched in 2017 and produced through 2023, has been a standout luxury sedan in India, particularly among executive vehicles. The G30’s design builds on BMW’s Cluster Architecture (CLAR) platform, which offers a lightweight mix of high-strength steel and aluminum, optimizing performance and fuel efficiency. Its dimensions provide a spacious interior, making it appealing for both drivers and passengers. Available trims in India include the 520d and 530d diesel variants and the 530i petrol variant, each equipped with BMW’s 8-speed automatic transmission. The M Sport and Luxury Line packages offer distinctive styling and interior finishes, allowing customization to either a sportier or more classic aesthetic.

In terms of technology, the G30 is equipped with BMW’s advanced iDrive system, which includes a 12.3-inch digital display and an enhanced heads-up display. Features such as four-zone climate control, a 360-degree camera, and adaptive LED or Laser headlights on the M Sport variant cater to both comfort and driving assistance. The G30’s post-2020 facelift brought subtle exterior tweaks and added features like wireless Android Auto, gesture control, and enhanced driver assistance functions, making the model increasingly tech-savvy.

This model’s adaptability to Indian roads is supported by optional adaptive dampers and an active anti-roll bar system. With its combination of high-end features, luxury finish, and powerful engine choices, the G30 remains a top contender in India’s premium sedan market, competing with models like the Mercedes E-Class, Audi A6, and Volvo S90.
