On the evening of December 8, we obtained the latest declaration information of BMW Brilliance X5L from the official website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, which indicates that this luxury SUV will be domestically produced. Early news said that BMW Brilliance transformed and expanded the south body workshop of the Dadong plant for the production of the rear body, upper tailgate and lower tailgate assembly of a new BMW model. Judging from the latest filing information now, it is expected that BMW Brilliance X5L will be listed in the first half of next year.
BMW Brilliance X5L the most obvious advantage is undoubtedly the price of the downward adjustment, according to BMW X5 as an example, the domestic X5L will save the "import" tariff and other additional costs, BMW Brilliance more than 80% of the high localization rate will also be a good control of the production cost of new cars, with reference to the BMW Brilliance price system, the price difference between similar models are about 100,000-130,000 yuan, it is expected that the starting price of domestic X5 will be more than 100,000 yuan higher than X3, between 500,000-550,000 yuan.
In terms of appearance, BMW Brilliance X5L introduced the imported version of the exterior design as original, the large-size double kidney shape of the grille is not absent, the grille and the straight waterfall design of the middle net are decorated with silver decorative strips, combined with the narrow long lights on both sides of the grille, to further improve the spirit of the front face. The front bumper is flanked by a black mesh skid panel that is also decorated with chrome trim strips on the surface, combined with a black lower grille in the middle of the front bar to further enhance the sporty atmosphere of the front face.
The rear styling of the new car is still capable and powerful, its taillights are blackened design, the lower edge of the rear bumper is inlaid with black skid plate, the middle is also matched with silver lower guard plate, plus the classic bilateral two-out exhaust layout, improving the rear movement attribute. As a domestically produced extended model, the rear of the new car has added the "BMW Brilliance" and "Li" logos.

However, after tuning, the maximum horsepower of the two engines is 272 horsepower and 370 horsepower respectively, which is a certain improvement over the current model, and the transmission matches the 8-speed manual transmission and will be equipped with a four-wheel drive system.
Presumably consumers are still skeptical about the localization of luxury models, although many luxury cars will be extended after domestic production, optimization in the car machine system is more in line with the use habits of the Chinese people, the most important thing is that the price is more affordable, but there are also many manufacturers in china in order to control the cost, there are engine power shrinkage, body material aluminum for steel and other reduction behaviors, such behavior is obviously contrary to the positioning of luxury cars.
This time, BMW took the lead in introducing bmw X5 for domestic production and lengthening the wheelbase, which caused a lot of impact on the opponents of Mercedes-Benz GLE, Audi Q7 and other medium and large SUVs. And the price of BMW Brilliance X5L after domestic production is likely to be reduced, and its cost performance will also increase, and it is likely to force Mercedes-Benz GLE and Audi Q7 to also embark on the domestic road in the later stage.
