BMW unveils 2021 5 Series with updated look and mild-hybrid technology

The 2021 BMW 5 Series has finally been revealed after a steady stream of spy shots and leaked images over the last few weeks.

The mid-cycle facelift to the BMW’s midsize executive sedan introduces cosmetic updates in line with the Bavarian car manufacturer’s current design language, along with updated mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrain options, Luxurylaunches.com reports.

Starting with the design changes, the most noticeable update comes in the form of the slimmer headlight design that gets twin L-shaped DRLs stacked horizontally.

In the middle of the headlights is an updated grille which now wider and positioned lower than before. Other changes to the fascia include a new bumper design with larger front air intakes and mesh panels. The rear has received a relatively milder update with slightly tweaked taillights, bumper, and diffuser. Inside the cabin, the central infotainment screen has grown to 12.3 inches from 10.25 and comes standard with BMW’s iDrive 7 control system. It features BMW’s native navigation software, along with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
