What’s New for 2024?
BMW is making the next generation of the 5-series sedan, as well as an all-electric version, called the i5 and a performance-focused sedan called the M5. The new four-door car will be available at car lots in early 2024.
The 5-series has been BMW’s middle-sized sedan for a long time. It’s the perfect size for people who can’t park a 7-series and don’t like how cramped the 3-series is. The 5-series comes in two models, the 530i and the 540i. The 530i has a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 255 horsepower and either rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. It has all-wheel drive and a turbocharged inline-six engine that makes 375 hp. A 48-volt hybrid system adds to both of them.

What’s New for 2024?
The all-new generation of the E-class sedan starts this year. It has been redesigned from the ground up and has more technology and comfort than the previous model. This year, hybrid help has been added to both the four- and six-cylinder powertrains, which has increased power. The outside also has a nice new look. A lot of new technology can be found inside the cabin. Before the end of 2023, we think that dealers will have the 2024 E-class in their lots.
With its distinctive Mercedes-Benz attitude, the 2024 Mercedes E-class sedan is the perfect vehicle for business travellers. It has almost as much style and substance as the flagship S-class, but it has a slightly less intimidating look. There is a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine and a 23-hp electric motor under the E350’s scalloped hood. Together, they make 255 horsepower. The E450 model has a 3.0-liter inline-six engine that is turbocharged and gets a similar hybrid setup. This makes 375 horsepower in total. It is said that the hybrid systems will cut down on turbo lag and make the auto start/stop system run more smoothly.

What’s New for 2024?
This is the first car with the SQ8 e-tron nameplate from Audi. It will be sold in 2024. It’s pretty much just the 2023 e-tron S SUV with a new name. The squareback and sportback body styles are pretty much the same.
The 2024 Audi SQ8 e-tron is an SUV that runs on electricity alone. The EPA says it can go up to 253 miles on a single charge and has a 106.0-kWh battery pack. It also has a DC fast-charging connection of 170 kW. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in about 4.5 seconds and has a top speed of 210 km/h (130.5 mph). It also has an electric powertrain with 496 hp. The SQ8 e-tron’s cabin is quiet when it’s cruising, and both rows of seats are big enough for adults. The SQ8 e-tron’s dashboard is full of high-resolution screens, including Audi’s digital gauge cluster, called Virtual Cockpit, and two touchscreens that are flush with the centre console. This gives the impression that the experience is mostly digital.

What’s New for 2024?
When the all-new gasoline-powered 5-series comes out at the same time as the i5, it gives people looking at BMW’s mid-size sedan lineup an electric option. We think it will be in BMW stores by the end of 2023.
The 2024 BMW i5 is a high-end sedan that runs on electricity alone. The 2024 BMW i5 will come in two models. The first is the eDrive40, which has 335 hp and a single electric motor that drives the back wheels. A more powerful M60 xDrive model has a second electric motor on the front axle, giving it a total of 590 hp. When we drove an i5 M60 prototype for the first time, we were impressed by how well the sedan handled, how confidently it gripped corners, and how strong its dual-motor powertrain was. The i5’s cabin is just as roomy and fancy as the 5-series’s combustion engine cabin. The battery doesn’t get in the way of space inside, but there is a little less trunk space than in the 5-series. You can still get leather upholstery, but BMW is introducing Veganza, a new faux-leather upholstery.

The M35i comes with unique 19-inch wheels that come with all-season tyres. You can choose to have 20-inch wheels with summer tyres instead. The M35i’s exterior has a sportier look thanks to a new grille design with bigger air intakes, four tailpipes, and black exterior trim. Inside, there are sport front seats, faux-suede trim, and a steering wheel with the M logo on it. BMW’s updated iDrive 9 infotainment software is now available for the X1 for the first time. The system’s menu structure has been improved to make it easier to find your way around.
There is a small, useful, and high-tech SUV called the 2024 BMW X1. An entry-level xDrive28i has a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that makes 241 horsepower. It comes with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. It took the X1 xDrive28i 5.4 seconds to go from 0 to 60 mph.

What’s New for 2024?
The e-tron and e-tron Sportback SUVs have been renamed the Q8 e-tron and Q8 e-tron Sportback for 2024. This is likely to avoid confusion with other EVs in Audi’s growing lineup, which all use some form of the e-tron name. To celebrate, Audi has given the SUVs a new look with a new grille, more modern lighting, and wheels with different designs. The battery pack in both models has been increased in size to 106.0 kWh. This should increase the range of the Q8 e-tron models and make them more competitive with other models on the market. A faster S e-tron model was available last year, but it has since been split off as the SQ8 e-tron, which we will review separately.
The 2024 Audi Q8 e-tron is a midsize SUV that runs on electricity. The Q8 e-tron’s heavily creased body is made up of two electric motors, one at the front axle and one at the back. They work together to give the car electronic all-wheel drive, but the rear motor does most of the work. They make a total of 355 horsepower and 414 pound-feet of torque when driving normally. But putting the shifter into Sport mode for a short time lets you use the 402 horsepower and 490 pound-feet of torque. The Audi Q8 e-tron has a classic look with some sporty touches, like a new grille and headlights that make it more aerodynamic. The SUV’s interior is made to be comfortable and useful. It has high-resolution screens, advanced infotainment systems, and high-end features like a head-up display and front seats that massage you. The Q8 e-tron has two electric motors that work together to provide all-wheel drive. It has a total of 402 horsepower and 414 pound-feet of torque, and the ride is smooth and quiet.

All-wheel drive is standard on the 750e, and it has a turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine that works with an electric motor. They work together to make a strong 483 horsepower, and BMW says the battery should be big enough to power the big sedan for more than 35 miles on electricity alone.

Not a lot. The redesign for 2022 is still new, but VW says there are some small, unspecified changes to the way it looks. Since the 40th-anniversary model is no longer available, the lineup is back to the S, SE, and Autobahn trims.
