Presumably it will be a luxury car, and in the current consumer market, many people have begun to try pure electric, but in the case of great potential for endurance development and the construction of related supporting facilities, it is still a better choice to hang up the green card or PHEV plug-in mixed car.

Decorative materials, air conditioning air, door handles and other areas will form a textured decorative panel with a connection covering, while at their edges there are separate metal strips to reduce accidental scratching and collision. However, specifically in the key control, BMW 5 Series PHEV adopts a combination of metal keys + painted panel border, plastic button + metal frame, which can optimize key damping and enhance durability. Leather and stitched pouches are used in the trim of seats, armrest boxes and upper baffles, and the grades are pulled up at once.
