There were nine consecutive days of rain on the winter solstice, and the continuous rainy days really made Brother Yuan miss the time in Sanya some time ago. In Sanya in December, the blue sea, blue sky and white clouds are integrated, and the coconut groves, yachts, and clouds are reflected in the background, just like a picture scroll.
BMW iX chose Sanya as the most suitable test drive location. This is a model inspired by nature, but also a flagship new energy vehicle that interprets BMW's new luxury aesthetic, which complements the beautiful scenery of Sanya, and The Brother has also embarked on a comfortable green journey with BMW iX.
The shape is simple but not simple
After the BMW iX announced the price of the controversy, many people have questions, is it worth 846,900 yuan? In brother's opinion, the answer depends on how much you value innovative design. The BMW iX is a very innovative model, the overall design is very simple, but the details are not simple.
Before the test drive of the BMW iX, the activists demonstrated an unusual experiment to us, drawing two scratches on the grille before the test drive to test the bmw iX's front grille automatic repair ability. The car uses the invisible innovative technology design concept, a seemingly simple grille panel, but with a polyurethane coating, so it can automatically repair small scratches, which means that the owner's daily life of the car, the grille panel can also be automatically repaired by small stones. The repair time of the panel is not long, and it only takes one morning time during the sanya test drive.
I believe that careful people have found that the front grille of BMW iX is not as full of sensors as other electric vehicles, this is because the new generation of sensor systems such as cameras and radar are hidden behind the grille, and the grille panel is made of materials that do not interfere with electromagnetic waves, which can make the entire front face more concise, avoid the sensor from being damaged by external forces, and ensure that the sensor works efficiently.
Subsequently, the team set off to punch the most beautiful highway in Sanya, at this time Sanya's light intensity is high, but there is no smell of traditional new cars in the car, thanks to the BMW iX's large number of environmentally friendly materials, such as fabric /microfiber interior using 50% recycled polyester fiber material, carpet floor mat is made of 100% recycled nylon material, and leather is treated with olive leaf extract, not traditional tanning preparations, the visual sense of these materials is high-grade, the touch is skin-friendly, and more importantly, the air in the cabin is fresh. Contributes to human health.
The interior of the BMW iX cabin gives a visual sense of the living room, and the new screen shape, wooden boards, crystal trims and seat color matching all give a delicate and comfortable feeling. Not only that, the BMW iX seats also have the comfort of a large sofa, and even the rear seat to the door panel position is wrapped in the same leather as the seat, and the rear passengers will be comfortable leaning on the side, which is the same feeling as sitting on the large sofa at home. These details reflect BMW's new luxury.
Innovative technology showcases new luxury
Want to feel BMW iX more comfortably in Sanya, the right way is to use the voice system to open the music, BMW iX equipped with Bowers & Wilkins 4D diamond surround sound system, with a speaker sounder, the total power of 1615W, while the back of the car seat also has a resonator, to give the occupants a 4D music effect, the listening experience is more beautiful than being in the concert hall.
Switch songs and send commands directly to the floating curved screen, which integrates the iDrive 8 system, which is more logical and easy to use, and the visual premium sense is better than the previous iDrive system. In addition, the iDrive 8 system has also done a lot of localization customization work for the Chinese market, such as equipped with WeChat car version, Tencent Small Scene 2.0 and other application apps. These small programs are both advantages and disadvantages, the disadvantage is that there are too many types, so it takes a certain amount of time to get started, and the advantage is that it is very smooth to use, and there is basically no delay.
The good experience of the iDrive 8 system is related to its use of a number of innovative technologies, including 5G technology, Gigabit Ethernet technology with transmission speeds of up to 30Gbit, etc., which makes the connected experience better and also helps BMW iX to greatly improve in the field of driving safety and autonomous driving.
BMW iX automatic driving assistance system Pro experience is better than many models, mainly high work stability, after opening, the vehicle can smoothly accelerate and decelerate and turn, and always keep the lane in the center of the driving, in contrast to other new forces or traditional fuel vehicles, there are various problems in the automatic driving assistance system, such as acceleration and deceleration is too abrupt, the vehicle is deviated, etc., can not give people a sense of peace of mind. It is reported that BMW iX is equipped with an 8-megapixel front-facing camera monitoring and monitoring range of up to 300 meters front-facing radar system, which is the first model to use these systems, which can provide accurate and reliable automatic driving assistance systems.
Comfort is more important than driving control
From the perspective of driving texture, bmw iX is also more focused on comfort, which can be said to be the bmw car that is least like BMW.
BMW iX mainly inherits BMW's sports genes in two aspects, the first is acceleration performance, this car is equipped with the fifth generation of eDrive electric drive technology, dual motors can release the maximum output power of 385 kW, peak torque of 765 Nm, so that the vehicle from 0 to 100 km / h only takes 4.6 seconds, acceleration performance comparable to supercar.
Simply adjust the BMW iX's driving mode to SPORT to get a strong sense of acceleration, and when adjusted to energy-saving mode, the power output is relatively soothing, but due to the output characteristics of the motor, there is also a fast acceleration experience. Of these two modes, SPORT gives the best experience, because the power is more responsive, and the power output process is smooth enough and the comfort is good. Of course, you can also choose your own driving mode, and the BMW iX also offers a personalized mode.
Although the BMW iX is positioned in a medium-sized SUV with a large body, the acceleration process does not have a sense of bulkiness, on the one hand, thanks to the strong power performance, on the other hand, thanks to the use of aluminum frame body structure, and carbon fiber reinforced composite materials are widely used in the body frame, so the body effectively achieves lightweight, while the body rigidity is also guaranteed.
BMW iX is also a flexible SUV, which is the first pure electric model to apply xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive system, the system can make the rear axle to achieve 3.2 degrees steering, when driving at low and medium speeds, the front and rear wheels rotate in the opposite direction, greatly improving the flexibility of the vehicle, and at high speed, the front and rear wheels rotate in the same direction, which makes the driving stability of BMW iX enhanced, so BMW iX can be regarded as a flexible "big fat man".
However, in other aspects, the BMW iX pays more attention to comfort, such as the steering wheel feel, even in the sport mode has a strong electronic taste, lightness. And the geometric polygon steering wheel did not make people uncomfortable. In addition, the tuning of bmw iX is also more pursuit of filtration performance, and the initial stroke of the adaptive dual-axis air suspension is relatively soft, and only the middle and rear strokes show the tenacity of air suspension.
BMW iX also shows good tranquility on the highway, the motor whistle will not be obviously transmitted to the car during the acceleration process, and the body will also be better isolated from wind noise, the wind resistance coefficient of this car is only 0.25, almost comparable to a sports car, excellent aerodynamic design is an important guarantee for the quietness of the carriage.
The DEFINITION OF THE BMW brand for iX is to lead the future luxury, and from the performance of the test drive, we can see that the future luxury is simple and complex. The exterior and interior design of BMW iX pursues minimalist style, but it is comprehensive and powerful, and the pursuit of detail is quite extreme, bringing users a luxurious quality mobile space through a series of bold and innovative designs.
