2015 BMW 5 Series 535i xDrive

The 2015 5 Series is BMW's mid-size executive sedan, the one that blends luxury with a sporty character. It drives with a balance of comfort and agility that makes it feel smaller than it is, though the steering is lighter than older BMWs. Inside, the cabin is roomy and upscale, with plenty of space for four adults and a trunk that swallows luggage easily. The iDrive infotainment system is responsive and includes a large screen, navigation, and available features like a head-up display. All-wheel drive and the 3.0L I6 set the 535i xDrive apart from the rear-drive 535i, giving you extra traction in rain or snow. The 3.0L I6 makes 302 horsepower and pairs with the eight-speed automatic, delivering smooth power that makes highway merging effortless. It returns 23 mpg combined, which is reasonable for a mid-size sedan with this much punch and all-weather capability.
