The G30 BMW 5 Series has been awarded with a five-star safety rating by the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP), registering a score of 91% in the adult occupant test.
The car used for testing is a left-hand drive 2017 520d, which also secured an 81% rating in the pedestrian safety test. Contributing to this result are standard safety systems such as an active bonnet and autonomous emergency braking (city and inter-urban). The latter includes a “Person Warning” system as well.
In other areas, the 5 Series was rated 85% in the child occupant test, and 59% in the safety assist test. The safety assessment programme noted that collision was avoided in almost all circumstances and mitigated in others.
“BMW has led the way with a new 5 Series that features lots of driver assistance systems which Euro NCAP believes will transform safety in the years to come,” said Michiel van Ratingen, secretary general of Euro NCAP.
The seventh-generation 5 Series recently made its launch debut in Malaysia, available in 530i guise for RM398,800 on-the-road without insurance. It is powered by a a B48 2.0 litre turbo four-cylinder engine that produces 252 hp and 350 Nm of torque, directed to the rear wheels via an eight-speed Steptronic Sport automatic transmission.

G30 looks much sharper than F10
Our Proton Perdana 1000X better than this junk G30…oh wai!
Yes. It dun look like honda city even thou ori is accord.
One can say that our local G30 is now on par with its European counterparts in terms of driver assist systems. No longer are we short changed…well apart from the missing HUD and surround camera view in which a Vios has!
vios got surround view camera?!
If BMW score 5 stars, it means our Proton also can score 5 stars in Euro NCAP. This is because our Ministers, not one or two, but many Ministers have said our Proton is BETTER than BMW and Volvo.
They also said our Proton has BETTER quality and handling than Volvo or BMW.
With this in mind, why even bother spending RM400k? Might as well buy a Preve for RM60k. Can save RM340k
Oh sure. Drag Proton in every possible article in Paultan. Like you have nothing better to do right?
For once I wish comments are related to the article. Not like some old record that keeps playing out of tune music.
And what is related with Proton in this article?
Sputid European wasting so much monies crashing so many cars. These regulations / requirements are there only to protect their market.
Look at the all time no 1 and most efficient Perodua.. no camouflage no crash no wind no fart.. suddenly there is Bezza. It becomes one of the top selling cars in MY in no time. Plus Bezza has stop start system which Camry also doesn’t have. How powderful is that?
Moral of the story.. come to Perodua Jelatek, quote Mr Logaraju name.. I’ll give you RM 500 discount and zero down payment scheme (only for 9 years loan).
Proton SourGrape spotted
Why dragged in p1?
then what is the main selling point of a volvo now? just get the G!
