The more three-dimensional grille inside is connected to the inside of the double L-shaped headlights. The flat lamp cavity also plays a role in widening the visual width of the front. The front side surrounds are equipped with two styles of luxury and sports. In comparison, the sharp components of the sports version can better reflect the brand's sports positioning.
BMW 5 Series PHEV body is still in a slender and elegant style, and a straight waistline design with sharp folding angles is chosen. The overall shape of the body does not have obvious concave and convex combinations, which stimulates the sense of power of the body concisely and simply.

The window line also uses chrome edge sealing, and the C-pillar is equipped with BMW classic round corner design, which enhances the overall dynamic performance.

The "535Le" logo on the right is the second detail that distinguishes the PHEV version. The new OLED taillight extends to the side, making the lampshade more three-dimensional than the tailgate shape. The slightly blackened treatment also enhances the sporty atmosphere of the tail. The slightly convex rear surround is covered with black components, and the sports version also has a gun-gray guard plate, with dual exhaust on both sides. Compared with the difference between the two appearances, the interior of the car can be identified by the blue outer ring of the steering wheel logo. The center console adopts a family-style layout, the center control area is slightly tilted to the driver's side, and some physical buttons and knobs are retained below the floating screen, and are decorated with chrome-plated material.

Passengers of 178cm can get 2 punches + knee margin and 1 punch of head space in the rear row. The slightly higher bulge on the middle platform affects the comfort of the middle passengers.

The 20/24/28-inch trolley case can still be easily accommodated in the cabin. There is also a storage compartment on the rear area on the left, which can accommodate some easy-to-slide items. The car is also equipped with a storage compartment with sufficient volume and sufficient quantity, and a wireless charging plate in front of the cup holder.

It is matched with an 8AT gearbox and can reach a 100-100-10 seconds. The battery capacity is 17.7kWh, and it can provide a pure electric battery life of 95km. In addition to having good output performance, the entire system also has a fuel consumption performance of NEDC 1.5L/100km, which achieves a balance of sportiness and economy.
The suspension combination of double wishbone and multi-link is more comfortable in adjustment, but it also retains some toughness. The already thick chassis can have a better texture due to the decline in the center of gravity brought by the battery pack, and can achieve most of the filtering of the bumps on the road. The steering still continues BMW's accurate performance, and the dynamic response of the front of the car is timely and quickly.
