These days, the most popular model in any given mainstream or luxury automaker’s range is its compact crossover. But in the premium sector, one offering stands out—the 2017 BMW X1. Heralded as “best-in-class” by Car and Driver, it exemplifies agile handling, upscale appointments, and a very spacious cabin.
The 2017 BMW 5 Series was unveiled for the American market at the Detroit Auto Show this month, and already, automotive reviewers are getting their turn behind the wheel. The latest generation of the Bavarian automaker’s executive sedan is a combination of two themes: driving feel, and state-of-the-art tech. Recently, Kelley Blue Book sought to see how the two went together.
The BMW 5 Series has accomplished a feat not many nameplates can. It defines the look, feel, and standard of what many luxury drivers expect an executive sedan to be, and continues to hold that banner high after decades on the market. Now, an all-new model has debuted, and it’s time to see if the trend will continue.
