The BMW 5 SERIES SALOON (2020-23) 545E XDRIVE 4DR SALOON 3.0E PHEV 12KWH 394 GPF SS EU6 SE STEPTRONIC AUTO8 is a premium, four-door executive saloon, pairing a petrol engine with plug-in electric assistance and all-wheel drive. It sits above mainstream family cars, offering a refined alternative to SUVs and a roomier choice than a hatchback. With a comfortable cabin, automatic transmission and smooth performance, it works well for business travel, longer journeys and family duties. The plug-in system can make short commutes quieter and cheaper when charged regularly, while petrol power helps on trips. It is best for drivers with home or workplace charging, rather than those expecting electric-only motoring all the time. In mycarcheck.com data, 37 checks covered 11 distinct VINs; average recorded mileage was 23,000 and average private-sale valuation £35,200. Against Audi A6 and Mercedes-Benz E-Class rivals, its blend of pace and efficiency stands out. It offers a more engaging drive than many executive saloons while retaining the comfort and practicality expected in its class.
