There’s some rather classy luxury cars destined for Australia in 2017. Here’s WhichCar’s pick of the ones we’re most excited to see.

BMW 5 SERIES

The 5 Series has been at the pointy end of the large luxury car class for decades, and 2017 heralds the arrival of the seventh generation. There’s a slightly bigger footprint from broadened dimensions, yet the use of more advanced materials for its construction has helped to lower weight by up to 100kg. The usual [range] suspects of the 520d, 530i, 540i and 530d will be joined by a plug-in variant, as well as a super-efficient 520d diesel capable of circa 3.9-litres-per-100km fuel consumption. A twin-turbo V8 M550i model, also confirmed, will offer 0-100km/h acceleration of around 4.0 seconds, though a new M5 will eventually materialise to reclaim its rightful position as the fastest 5 Series.
