The BMW 520d EfficientDynamics Saloon, aimed squarely at the business market, features a car which has 184hp to call upon but has CO2 emissions of just 119g/km and combined fuel economy of 62.8mpg. This equates to a benefit-in-kind taxation band of 13%.
At the heart of the model is a 2.0 litre turbo diesel engine, while the German carmaker has included Auto Start-Stop, Optimum Gearshift Indicator, Brake Energy Regeneration and Active Aerodynamics, and vital in this segment a longer final drive ratio to reduce revs, and conserve fuel, at motorway speed.
The model also comes with BMW’s new ECO-PRO Mode. A driver-activated switch promotes economical and comfortable driving at low speeds by adjusting the engine mapping, throttle sensitivity, automatic gearshift points, where applicable, and the amount of power consumed by electrical ancillaries including climate control and heated seats.
