FIRST UKDRIVE Verdict on plug-in hybrid version of our favourite exec
-
BMW’s plug-in charge continues with the launch of its latest hybrid 5 Series.
Its electrified car sales are up 86 per cent year-on-year, with the maker on track to shift 100,000 plug-in or EV models in 2017.
It’s easy to see why. Business users will pay just nine per cent in Benefit in Kind (BiK) tax for a new 530e, saving higher-rate earners more than £3,000 a year over an equivalent 530d (or £2,000 against a 520d) – and that’s before you factor in the 29-mile electric range and claimed 141.2mpg fuel economy.
