The G30 BMW 5 Series earlier secured a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating in April 2017, and now, the sedan has claimed another accolade in the form of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) Top Safety Pick+ award.
Scoring “Good” scores in all five crash tests – small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests – the 540i tested also showed a low risk of significant injuries to the driver, based on measurements taken from the crash test dummy.
Like the previous-generation 5 Series, the new one also achieved a front crash prevention score of “Superior.” The United States-market model is available with two optional front crash prevention systems – Driving Assistance Plus and Driver Assistance Plus II – both of which earned the highest possible score.
Finally, the 5 Series scored a “Good” rating in the headlight evaluation test, which is only applicable to models with the Lighting or Premium package. Cars without said packages earn a “Marginal” rating instead.
To qualify for a Top Safety Pick+ award, a vehicle must earn “Good” ratings in all crash tests, an “Advanced” or “Superior” rating in front crash prevention, and the headlights must be deemed “Acceptable” or “Good.”

The Germans work hard creating the G30. Now, they reap the rewards and praises.
When you work hard, you will always succeed.
When you lepak and play all day long, don’t expect to create a product that will win awards.
Agree, lepak and play caused fatal airbags called takata
Janji ada RV.
Tak ada award, kita bina award!
Perdana, Bezza menang design award, satu tak laku except for govt official car, lagi satu tonggek hingga kena buat buttlift to tutup kemaluan yang amat besar.
Fully agree. Cuz of lepak and play, DSGgate miraculously happens and dieselgate oso miraculously happens. It not jerman faults.
Germans, Japanese and Chinese make very good cars.
Implying that Mustang is nt a gud car.
They don’t. Latest mustang only got 2-star Euro NCAP.
Stang not design for EU.
That’s why Volvo is smart to get out of the Americans and join tongsan.
Thanks to tongsan, Volvo back to World’s Safest Car.
except for chinese. chinese is far worst compare to proton
Except for the chinese car. chinese car is far worst compare to Proton. Not to mention the Germany and Japan.
Did anyone here ever doubted that the 5 series will get anything less than a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating!! Don’t think so right!
Since the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has chosen the 5 series as Top Safety Pick+ award, our M’sian Insurance company should lower the Insurance premium. What say U M’sian Insurance Institute ?!
