Previous 5 series was such a looker compared to this

Typical human behaviour We can't move on from old things Just like our father They love things of their time the songs, the motorcycles, the cars Seems like they are stuck in that time Learn to accept, adjust, adapt to new things new situation

[@vm-my6hg]

​@@hsbsbj1049thats ridiculous, the larger front grill has been majorly criticized. Maybe you like it, but should u be called a fanboy or lacking aesthetic awareness for it ? Likewise, if one prefers a prior anything, it doesnt make them grandpa.

It looks odd, but trust me, those tyres are much better for indian roads filled with pot holes..I have pre lci g30 530d with low profile tyres and have changed atleast 3 tyres and alloys in 6 years ownership.

I think you guys really missed the issue with the rear windshield blind as well. There isn't one in the 5. Given the ridiculous summers in the north, IMO it's a HUGE miss.

[@pankajdesai8475]

Gavin be like : BMW i love you, but as a friend 😂😂

[@nishitraj.]

That Active Brake Assist thing is spot on !! It's damn irritating to keep fumbling into the menu and disable it every time you start the car unless you like being rear ended. I have the 2024 C class and I really hope they bring the same thing into our car with OTA update

[@mks1702]

The 5 series drives better, is quieter and more comfortable while being 5L cheaper, yet the merc wins? Makes no sense really

[@azhaganvivekanandhan2089]

The merc just feels more plush

[@aniruddha9581]

@@azhaganvivekanandhan2089 Nah, it's just that people have associated Mercedes for proper luxury for so long they aren't willing to change their opinion that another car has beaten it at that one factor yet.

[@azhaganvivekanandhan2089]

@@aniruddha9581 That generally yes, but the reason why I said that was because the 5 series's rear seat doesn't have the basic luxury gizmos such as rear seat adjustment. And this segment is dominated by chauffeur driven buyers so 5 series wouldn't be that ideal in this case if your main usage is in the rear. But me personally, probably the 5 series is the better car but both of them are just too expensive for a bunch of 4 cylinder engines...

[@sharathchandraus1254]

@@azhaganvivekanandhan2089 They didn't review the top of the line E450 4 matic which has 381 horsepower which has 6 cylinders. They reviewed the base model which has 204 hp. BMW offers only 1 option currently

[@virajnayak23]

If the 5 series had electric reclining seats and retractable blinds, it would have won hands down. A major trick missed by BMW. They could have even priced the car 5 L more.

[@gscLDH]

Based on what I heard in the review it’s clear BMW is the winner overall unless you are 70 years old or you never drive .

Great review by Gavin as always. Covered all points in both cars. But finally 5 series is far better as value for money than E class.

I have the BMW 6 GT and honestly that car has much more features than the new 5, I feel the 6 shouldn’t have been replaced.

[@shresthabiradar2024]

Ground clearance?

[@JaySharma6]

So basically the ride, the drive, the comfort, the interior quality, the insulation is better in the BMW but Merc only wins because of one extra screen and its rear seat slides. What a ridiculous conclusion

[@allenmartinalmeida4728]

Bmw wins in engine .. rest merc wins hands down .. this guy is clearly a bmw fan

[@BlainFurgerson]

When I first "got into" luxury handbags, I purposely bought a kislux . I wasn't trying to show off, brag, or pass it off as genuine, I just wanted to see if it fit my requirements and how it would sit with me before I spent money on the real thing (without the SA staring at you). Turns out, it didn't fit me. I saved a ton of money and time on returns. It made me very happy. It fit me perfectly.

[@shikharmaru2791]

[@adhirajsarker9105]

Hello, Autocar, I love your videos, and you are often my first choice when it comes to watching car videos. But, i have a particular issue with your speed versus time graph. Speed is a function of time, and conventionally, time is in the x axis, and speed is in the y axis. A quick glance at the graph, and I thought, Merc is faster than BMW, as Merc's graph line (blue) is steeper than BMW's (red) line.

[@makesense2931]

They seriously lack a lot of features for a luxury car.

[@digvijaynscp]

80lacs for 200hp is a joke. My xuv 700 almost have all these features 😂

[@raghavendravishwas5929]

[@balachandrashanbhogu]

I am thing that Gavin chose BMW over Mercedes. However, Autocar wanted to show Mercedes as a winner at the end. This I am saying when they added additional footage (15:49) when Gavin said BMW rides well and one more when he said BMW is better in cushioning and immediately followed by a outside footage (19:21). Somehow I am not convinced here that Mercedes is better as I feel there was an Intervention!!. My opinion.

[@prashastsharma5464]

This BMW is way better!

[@user-cv3pw8cx9m]

5 series looks so bad, even the new 7 series kinda grew on me but this is just objectively bad compared to previous gens. Also what's up with those touch controls for AC and other important functions, the regulatory authorities should do something about these touch controls because they're a huge safety hazard. The previous generations of each cars were much better

[@RaviKSingh]

It's like picking the least downgraded car between the two. Both have cut corners at a very stingy level which takes away the luxury tag from them. Absence on ventilated seats, rear curtains, Adaptive Cruise control, HUD, air suspensions doesn't make them stand up against some even the baby names in Indian car market. Considering they have these features in global, but not in Indian market screams bias. Launch variants if it about money. Atleast 450 should have had these. God, 6GT will be missed badly.

[@susantaguin702]

Very good review by Autocar India. If #BMW5Sereies has the rear seat controls and entertainment package would be a perfect all rounder. #MercedesBenzEClass has that except the entertainment package. But both cars misses out Air Suspension and Cool/Hot Rear Seats (Which should have been offered in a near 70 Lacs plus Rupees cars, isn't it ???).

[@kingfisher111]

Thus BIG advertisement kills the entire feel of the video especially the area where you show the interior cockpit

[@SaburAliKhan.333]

Add the gimmicky selfie camera in a car and no heated ventilated or massaging seats 😱😱😱at 80 lakh price point??? WTF mercedes

[@shubhromu]

Both these cars are confused. They are based on regular sedans but have been "modified" for chauffer use for India and China. So if these are cars are meant to be primarily chauffer driven, why have THREE screens for the driver? None for the boss in the back? Is the boss going to reach over to the front every time he needs to answer a call? Who is really going to watch that 3rd screen? The equipment is there but makes no sense for the purpose for which it has been built.

[@bulolo_wilber]

Projector LED lights should come as standard

[@vedansh9395]

Good looking alloys are a must here on 5 Series. The ones shown here just feels so off.

This isn't even much of a comparison. One look (literally) and most will have made their decisions. The segment that is more competitive is the one below this. You've got C, the 3 and the A6 all very similarly priced, and all very good looking cars.

[@parthlalwani2214]

A6 compares in this segment with the e class and 5 series the c class and 3 series
