BMW 5 Series Touring Renderings Imagine Wagon’s Next-Gen Design

BMW 5 Series Touring Renderings Imagine Wagon’s Next-Gen Design

Recently, trademark filings provided a glimpse of the design of the next-generation BMW 5 Series Touring wagon. Though the grayscale photos lacked detail, they showcased the variant’s overall styling, which closely resembled the 5 Series sedan that was introduced in May.

Unofficial renderings have now added some color to the trademark photos. These renderings depict a stylish wagon in the M Performance guise, featuring sportier bumpers and appropriate badging.

The main difference in the renderings is the design of the bumpers. The front bumper highlights prominent black trim around the lower grille opening, which is particularly pronounced in the M Performance version. The outboard intakes also include additional glossy black trim.

At the rear, a sporty bumper appliqué covers the rear marker lights in triangular shapes, resembling the M Performance-badged sedan. The wagon also appears lower on its suspension, indicating its sportier nature, and is likely to be larger than the current-generation model. The 5 Series sedan grew by 3.4 inches in length and 1.3 inches in width, improvements that should enhance the wagon’s cargo capacity.

a wide range of powertrain options will be available for the BMW 5 Series. In the US, the entry-level 530i sedan comes with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, generating 255 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. The 540i, only available with all-wheel drive, is equipped with a straight-six engine that produces 375 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque.

BMW plans to offer a full-fledged M variant for the 5 Series Touring. Spy photographers have spotted test mules at the Nurburgring. While the powertrain details remain undisclosed, indications suggest it may borrow the hybrid powertrain found in the XM SUV. This electrified V8 engine delivers 735 hp and 737 lb-ft of torque, and it is expected that the wagon will have a power output of 718 hp.

The next-generation BMW 5 Series Touring is expected to debut either by the end of this year or in early 2024. The launch of the M5 Touring is likely to follow, as BMW has a history of staggering the release of new models and variants.
