Geneva Auto Show: BMW 5 Series ActiveHybrid [ 03-03-2010 ]

Today, in front of a large audience of journalists and not only, BMW has unveiled the new 2011 BMW 5 Series at the Geneva Motor Show. One of the most expected BMWs of the year made its first entrance on the stage during a show that had the EfficientDynamics as its core theme. Along with the F10 5er sedan, BMW has also unveiled their next hybrid project: 5 Series ActiveHybrid. As pointed out by BMW, the new 5 Series takes an evolutionary path this time, in contrast to the E60 model considered to feature an advantgarde design. The design lines are elegant, yet sporty, flowing gracefully from front to back with plenty of convex and concave surfaces. The front-end is less imposing and ¡°in your face¡± than we¡¯ve seen on the 7 Series or the 5 GT models, a more neutral stance. The smaller kidney grille fits the overall design and the image of a 5 Series sporty luxury sedan.
