There is no doubt that the top of this year's first-line luxury brand sales list is not BMW, from January to November, BMW Brilliance manufacturers have accumulated sales of 602558 vehicles, pressing the old rival Beijing Benz 508426 vehicles, that is to say, no matter how Beijing Benz in December, BMW will be the biggest winner this year.
At the same time, BMW has already launched an active layout in the Chinese market next year, and then I will take you to see what new cars BMW has to look forward to in 2022.
The new generation bmw 7 series
Mercedes-Benz's new generation of S-Class released last year still seems to be relatively successful, but with the end of 2021, the new generation of BMW 7 Series is about to debut. It is reported that the new car will debut next spring.
In terms of appearance, the changes to the new generation of BMW 7 Series are definitely a drastic move. The larger intake grille plus the design of split headlights make the new car more domineering than the current model. In addition, the new car is also equipped with hidden door handles, which adds a lot of luxury and technology.
In terms of power, the new generation of BMW 7 Series can be regarded as comprehensive, fuel, plug and mix are the same, 3.0T turbo engine is likely to become the main model of production and sales. The 6.6-liter V12 turbocharged engine of the current top-of-the-line model is likely to be discontinued.
Short comment: Compared with the minimalist style of the S-class appearance, the appearance of the new generation of BMW 7 Series is more acceptable to everyone, I don't know if this time the 7 Series can help BMW return to the position of D-class car NO.1?
BMW i7
Recently, BMW officially released the official picture of the pure electric flagship sedan i7, although it is still in full camouflage, but it is certain that it is getting closer and closer to us.
It is reported that the new BMW i7 is based on the CLAR platform, and the previously launched pure electric flagship SUV iX and pure electric coupe i4 belong to the same platform. In terms of appearance, from the body line and the exposed headlights, the BMW i7 may be similar to the new generation of the 7 Series, and the design of the split headlights + hidden door handles should be nailed.
In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with the fifth generation of eDrive electric power system, although the details of the powertrain have not yet been disclosed, but we can refer to the currently released BMW iX. Among them, the BMW iX xDrive50 version adopts a dual-motor configuration with a maximum horsepower of 516 horses. As the flagship model, the i7 believes that it will not be worse than the iX in terms of power.
Short comment: Compared with the redesigned appearance of the Mercedes-Benz EQS, the BMW i7, which looks no different from the 7 Series, seems to have no sincerity. But in my opinion, EQS is really a bit too strong, so in the field of pure electric D-class cars, I am still more optimistic about the BMW i7.
BMW pure electric 3 series i3
There is no doubt that the new pure electric 3 series i3 will be the most popular electric model of BMW in the future. BMW iX3 sales have reached 20,000 units, and I think BMW's expectations for the pure electric 3 series i3 will never be lower than the iX3. In terms of appearance, the BMW i3 has a high degree of similarity with the current 3 series, but it can still find differences from the details. The front grille is fully enclosed to highlight the identity of the electric vehicle, while the headlights are redesigned to be more recognizable.
In terms of the tail, there is no difference from the current BMW 3 Series, but we can still identify the new star from the BMW i family through the blue trim.
In terms of interior, the BMW i3 is consistent with the overseas version, using a dual screen design, and the sense of technology is much higher than before. The iconic chicken leg stall turned into a small gear bar, which looks a lot smaller.
In terms of power, we can see the i3 eDrive 35L logo on the picture, which means that the car will be equipped with a drive motor with a maximum power of 250kW.
Short comment: BMW has proved itself to have two brushes in the electric field on the iX3, and the "3 Series", as the soul of BMW, will definitely be better than the iX3 in terms of product power.
Say at the end
Responsibly speaking, this year's BBA sales crown is definitely BMW, and this is still in the case of Mercedes-Benz's C-class and S-class just replaced, very capable of playing. But with the restructuring and launch of several blockbuster models in 2022, BMW's competitiveness will only become stronger and stronger, so I am still optimistic about BMW's position in 2022.
