₹76.60 Lakhex-showroom
The 5 Series carries a single ARAI rating of 15.7 kmpl. That figure covers the 2.0 litre mild hybrid petrol, the only engine on offer. The 48 volt system helps recover some energy and eases the load in traffic. Even so, a large petrol sedan will read lower in real city use.

BMW 5 Series mileage: common questions
What is the 5 Series mileage?
The ARAI rating is 15.7 kmpl for the 530Li petrol. Real economy will be lower in the city and closer to the figure on the highway.
Does the mild hybrid improve fuel economy?
It helps a little. The 48 volt system trims fuel use at low speed and during stop start driving, but it is not a full hybrid.
Is the 5 Series efficient for its size?
For a large petrol sedan the 15.7 kmpl rating is reasonable. It will not match a diesel, but the mild hybrid keeps it competitive.
