Performance Specs

Underneath its stylish design, the BMW 5 Series gives you plenty of options. Its diverse lineup of powertrains includes everything from Twin Turbo gas engines to an impressive plug-in hybrid that's as sporty as its combustion counterparts. Some of the highlights from these powertrains include:

• Available 3.0L BMW TwinPower turbo inline 6-cylinder that produces up to 335 horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque
• Available 4.4L BMW M TwinPower Turbo V-8 that produces up to 617 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque
• Available 2.0L BMW TwinPower Turbo inline 4-cylinder with integrated electric motor that provides up to an EPA-estimated 64 combined MPGe (miles per gallon of gasoline-equivalent)*

The Jaguar XF also offers a couple of turbocharged engines, however, you won't find as many options or as much power. Not only is there no hybrid option, but there are only two engines available. Plus, the most powerful one tops out at just 296 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque.

Cutting-Edge Tech

The BMW 5 Series makes your drive easy and exciting with some state-of-the-art technology. It starts with the standard Live Cockpit Professional system and a pair of 12.3-inch displays. The digital instrument cluster makes it easy to see all your alerts and diagnostics, while the dashboard is home to an entertainment hub.

The iDrive 7.0 system features standard smartphone compatibility and a user-friendly way to find the fastest route. Some of its features include:

• Apple CarPlay™
• Android Auto™
• Cloud-based navigation
• Bluetooth® compatibility

You'll also have a couple of ways to use the system. The Intelligent Personal Assistant uses voice control, while the iDrive touchpad controller comes in handy if you're in noisy traffic.

The Jaguar XF offers some similar features, including smartphone compatibility, a digital instrument cluster, and a navigation system. However, there's no option for a touchpad and it has a slightly smaller 11.4-inch touchscreen.

Safety Features

In addition to all the features that make your drive more convenient, the BMW 5 Series also includes driver-assistive technology that'll help you stay safe. It comes with not one but two safety systems that can help prevent accidents and minimize damage if one occurs. Some of the safety features you'll have on board include:

• Frontal Collision Warning
• Active Blind Spot Detection
• Lane Departure Warning
• Fatigue and Focus Alert

On top of watching the road around you and reminding you to focus, the BMW 5 Series Active Protection System can detect an imminent collision and automatically shut the windows, tighten the seatbelts, and activate post-crash braking.

The Jaguar XF is also equipped with sensors and cameras that can help you stay safe, but it doesn't come with nearly as many standard features. Plus, it doesn't offer anything like the Active Protection System or the Fatigue and Focus Alert.
