BMW has launched a new entry-level variant of the 5-Series petrol lineup in India. The new BMW 530i Sport has been launched in India for a price of Rs 55.40 lakh in an attempt to expand the 5-Series lineup. The BMW 5 Series lineup in India now consists of two petrol and two diesel variants. The top-spec petrol 530i M Sport costs Rs 60.90 lakh, while the diesels include the 520d Luxury Line and the 530d M Sport, which are priced at Rs 59.30 lakh and Rs 66.80 lakh respectively.
The BMW 530i Sport is powered by a BS6-compliant, 2.0-litre, four-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine which produces 252hp at 5,200rpm and 350Nm of torque at 1,450-4,800rpm. In fact, its the same engine that’s also offered on the top-spec M Sport Variant. Power is sent to the rear wheels via an 8-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. The 530i Sport also features five drive modes – Comfort, Eco Pro, Sport, Sport+ and Adaptive.
In terms of safety features, the 530i Sport gets features such as six airbags, ABS with brake assist, cornering brake control, dynamic stability control, dynamic traction control, side impact protection, ISOFIX child seat mounts and three-point seatbelts for all five passengers.
