BMWBLOG reports that the new BMW G30 5 Series will be unveiling at the Detroit Auto Show in 2017. In just a few weeks, the latest generation premium midsize sedan will already launch on the interwebs. First press drives and reviews are expected to follow suit — pumping up the crowd for the world premiere and market introduction in early 2017.
Initially, reports of a Paris unveiling in September were circulating. However, that event will hold the world premiere of the BMW X2 instead. That’s two different mass production vehicles in the next two large auto shows.
Right now, the new G30 5 Series is in its final testing stages. It is larger yet 100 kilograms lighter than the predecessor. Thanks to the use of carbon in the body structure, plus the new Cluster Architecture (CLAR) platform. This platform is a combination of high-strength steel, aluminum and carbon fiber. The platform is highly flexible and versatile. It benefits BMW since its extensively adjustable in content, size and adaptability.
The G30 5 Series’ design is accentuated with modern touches. Taking from the premium 7 Series luxury sedan, this model will also have the latest and greatest technologies available for the driver. The 5 Series customers will enjoy the new iDrive infotainment system, gesture control, laser headlights, autonomous driving, and many more.
