@@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.
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.
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
I really miss the 3 pointed star on the bonnet of the Merc. It adds grace, beauty, elegance to it. The tail lights on the Merc look amazing. The BMW kidney grille looks spectacular.
@@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.
@@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...
@@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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
The design of the individual elements is certainly better in the BMW than in its rival, but the Mercedes is much better proportioned and looks more elegant.
It's actually a bad thing to not having ventilated seats in a 80 lac rs cars, where here we're getting it in a 20 lac rs cars too. Merc should think of it. It's true that this is mostly chauffeur driven but what someone wants to self drive???
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.
Those speed breakers are no real test...there are a lot of bad ones in India and both will struggle big time...when you buy these cars in India you have to choose your road very carefully
@autocarindia Come on, you have crossed 25 years in this industry and in 2024, still no 4K? At least for a good content like this? Even the newbies are offering great video quality in 4K60fps! What is stopping you from getting a good camera?
What kind of Kudos was that for the manually removable rear window blinds in an 80 lakhs car? Also if BMW is offering a LWB 5 series, they should've given seat recline which Mercedes is offering since the last 7 years in their E-Class
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 ???).
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.
As good and complete as the new 5 is, the truth is that the 540i should have come to India by 2019. The new E-Class really is a very complete car but all of them look too similar?! Both cars have over the top interiors. Last generation vehicles were understated and classier. Most should go for the 5, but the E450 needs a direct rival. Can we have the most awarded six cylinder in the world with the 5 please? BMW India?!!?
540i should be brought in the standard wheelbase platform. Any engine in this long wheelbase will not be able to bring out the handling characteristics that we miss today
Here's wishing you all a very Happy Diwali!
Wishing you a very Happy Diwali team@autocarindia 🙏 🪔
Happy diwali Autocar family
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

the songs, the motorcycles, the cars
Seems like they are stuck in that time
Learn to accept, adjust, adapt to

True…. This new model looks like a cheap Chinese copy of itself(previous gen 5 series).
@@hsbsbj1049 Whatever u say mr progressive .... People like u will even call the cybertruck a design masterpiece
Those wheels on the 5 series look shit ……. What was bmw thinking 🤨
they don't think nowadays
Previous gen 530d >>>
Gavin be like : BMW i love you, but as a friend 😂😂
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.

Don’t know why.. but mercedes always feels leaps ahead in luxury
1000% .. there is no comparison.. Mercedes has the brand and comfort .. bmw has the engine !
Now, will Audi bite the bullet and bring in the A6L?
With tfsi 😂😂
Audis management is lethargic
@@shivanshjhawar2525 whole VAG India's leadership is lethargic.
😂😂😂😂
with the new a7 around the corner, highly doubt.
Unpopular opinion it doesn't matter how a car looks when you are sitting inside I think BMW have nailed it in this regard
I really miss the 3 pointed star on the bonnet of the Merc. It adds grace, beauty, elegance to it.
The tail lights on the Merc look amazing. The BMW kidney grille looks spectacular.
The 5 series drives better, is quieter and more comfortable while being 5L cheaper, yet the merc wins? Makes no sense really
The merc just feels more plush

My tata harrier top model and xuv700 Ax7 L are more value for money than these two
Bmw 5 series all the way !!! 👍👍🙏🙏
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.
Rear blinds missed all over is a deal breaker
no seat ventilation at 80L in the mercedes??
mercedes is 1cr on road
It's available on e450 . I hope they will add it just like they did it on c class and glc

Dream cars for so many of us that grew up in the pre-SUV era
This BMW is way better!
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
Bmw wins in engine .. rest merc wins hands down .. this guy is clearly a bmw fan
They seriously lack a lot of features for a luxury car.
Skoda superb I brought in 2019 is better then current e class … better engine and better feel super smooth
Plush cars, and your way of speaking makes it feel comfier, and I feel sleepy....what awesome cars and their reviews......
1:07 those cars look photoshopped in the scene lol
Just bought the 5 …. Unbeatable!! BMW is for sure a drivers delight 🥰🥰
Add the gimmicky selfie camera in a car and no heated ventilated or massaging seats 😱😱😱at 80 lakh price point??? WTF mercedes
Gavin should do more videos
BMW interior is best simple screens then e class Hyper screen but BMW alloys looks little old model BMW better looking
Y
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.
7:50 how do you brush off seat ventilation point so easily? it’s a need in our climate. In an 80L car it’s shocking.
Very anticipated to see the rival comparison
Ground clearance?
Always BMW lover ❤️

50 fps nice : )
In search of teach we lost the classy royal high quality buttons knobs
The BMW designers were on crack when they made this design
BMW 🥰
really looking forward for the standard wheelbase variant of the E-Class . . .
Nobody says these german cars are expensive ?

Can you do a comparison between 630 I and new 530i ??
Thus BIG advertisement kills the entire feel of the video especially the area where you show the interior cockpit
Projector LED lights should come as standard
Both limousines are amazing to drive😊
Watching this to see which one is better with 50rs in my bank account!
After the launch e450 4matic I think bmw should launch the 540li xdrive in india
Some engineer in Germany was sent to gulag because the vents stopped working.
The design of the individual elements is certainly better in the BMW than in its rival, but the Mercedes is much better proportioned and looks more elegant.

We dont need a history on e class every-time the car makes a change or gets an update man.
It's really time for 4K videos
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.
A6 compares in this segment with the e class and 5 series the c class and 3 series
@parthlalwani2214 price wise, i would say it's more line with the c class. It's much more vfm.
True to their DNA, mercedes trumps BMW on comfort , while BMW is better when it comes to performance
No inbuilt sunshades in a chauffeur driven limo worth 1 cr????😮??!?
Those speed breakers are no real test...there are a lot of bad ones in India and both will struggle big time...when you buy these cars in India you have to choose your road very carefully
tf is wrong with 5 series' alloys
I think bmw wins
Jab tata safari aur Mahindra XUV 700 me 35 lakh me ventilated seats aane lagegi tab ye 90 lacs ki gaadiya koi nahi lega😅

What is this weird comparison? Comparing a car and a tank?! How does that work?
E class any day better then 5 series
BMW looks better. Give more features and its an easy class winner.

Flap type door handles and clip on sunshades in the bmw are such an eyesore. Adding to that hideous look are those ugly wheels.
Anyday e class is best buy option hands down
When you're rich and want a nice boring car 🥲

New 5 series in india 🤡🤡

Both the new gens are waste
Why would anybody buy the 5 series over e class
BMW this time!
what happened to bmw 5 series
Mercedes shows luxury
The new 5 is FUGLY! Especially in this EWB form. Those wheels..... crying out for aftermaket 20 inchers
Merc E class looks better and 5SERIES rides better
Would've loved to have seen the Carnival in this comparison too
Why brands giving shitty wheels nowadays?
Bmw after market sun blinds, really?? At this price point. Shame on you BMW
Both the Germans are crap, one doesn't have cooled seats and the other doesn't have sun shades.
* neither of them does
Mercedes Benz anyday....
