5 Series vs ES: An All-Star Performance

A luxury car should be more than a ho-hum daily driver—you should feel some sense of thrill as you slide into the driver’s seat. The 2021 5 Series and the ES deliver astounding performances.

As you might expect, though, the BMW car outshines the competition in this respect. When you choose the M performance-inspired M550i configuration, expect 523 horsepower from a TwinPower Turbo V8 engine. By comparison, the most powerful engine available in the Lexus ES is a 302-horsepower V6.

Plus, while both cars make all-wheel drive available for more traction, only the BMW 5 Series also offers sporty rear-wheel drive. It will make you feel like you’re driving a true sport sedan!

BMW 5 Series vs Lexus ES: Electric Car

Did you know the 2021 5 Series and the ES are both available as hybrid models? If you want to save on fuel and make every adventure more efficient, these two luxury sedans will aid and abet your mission.

The Lexus ES 300h earns an EPA-estimated 44 combined MPG and comes with Lexus Hybrid Drive for a more dynamic yet fuel-efficient drive. Meanwhile, the BMW 5 Series goes further: Not only is it available as a plug-in hybrid electric sedan—the BMW 530e—but it also allows all-electric driving.

That’s right: The TwinPower Turbo engine and the integrated electric motor combine to allow you an all-electric range up to 21 miles. Cover short commutes and drives without dipping into your fuel reserves!

So, Is the Lexus or BMW Sedan Better?

We hope you’ve enjoyed this closer look at the 2021 BMW 5 Series and the 2021 Lexus ES. For sport sedans, these two models exceed expectations with their dynamic driving and sense of style.
