New cars this week

The middle child of the Bimmer family, the seventh generation BMW 5 series finally got its big mustache update. In addition to the larger kidney grille, the car has grown by 1.2 inches and received a set of sleeker, more liner LED headlamps. The interior also received some minor touch-ups, along with a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster becoming standard on all variants. The car also retains all of its four powertrains, with the range-topping version being the 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 outputting 523 HP and 533 lb-ft of torque. 

Moving from riches to rags, the budget-friendly small hatchback from Kia also got its mid-life makeover. Like the BMW, the Rio got fancy new LED headlamps along with a sleeker front fascia. But unlike the 5, Rio's front grille actually shrunk, being much narrower than before. Inside, It outdid the German Sedan's screen update by a factor of two, with a new 8.0-inch screen on the center console and a 4.2-inch digital display on the gauge cluster. Finally, Kia updated the 1.0-liter T-GDi engine with its 48V MHEV system, though this is mainly done to comply with European emissions standards.
