The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety named the 2017
BMW 5 Series a “Top Safety Pick +”, continuing the company’s long-standing
commitment to offering class-leading safety. The seventh generation BMW 5
Series qualified for the “TSP+” thanks to its performance in five different
crash tests – small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength,
and head restraints. Receiving the Institute’s highest rating, for an optional
front crash prevention system with ‘Superior’ rating, as well as the ‘Good’
rating for headlights.
The latest generation BMW 5 Series is praised by the IIHS
for its body and structure design, boosting its performance in the small
overlap front crash test. Results from the test indicate that the driver space
is well maintained with only 5 inches of maximum intrusion at the footrest,
showing a low risk of any significant injuries in a real-world crash of the
same severity. Additionally, the 5 Series available Frontal Collision Warning
with either City Collision Mitigation or with Extended Collision Mitigation
earn “Superior” ratings in front crash prevention, both avoiding collisions
during testing at 12 mph and 25 mph.
