THREE months after launching its all-new seventh-generation 5 Series, BMW bolstered the range with the addition of hybrid power, in the form of the 530e iPerformance.8

The first 5 Series model to experience electrification, the 530e is also the fourth member of BMW’s stable to be offered as a plug-in hybrid (PHEV), after the X5 xDrive40e, 330e and 740e.8

With only one direct rival in its segment, the Mercedes-Benz E350e, the 530e has a chance to establish itself as the ideal choice for luxury car buyers wanting to benefit from the economy and quietness of a PHEV.8

Does it have what it takes to convince buyers that electrification is the way to go?
