【Understand the way of the car Design analysis】BMW electric car began to power, today to talk to you about an M electric car, BMW iXM60, this model is BMW official confirmation will enter China sales, so we are ready to spend a little time to talk to everyone. I believe that everyone is most concerned about whether this iX M60 can interpret the BMW M's "Freude am Fahren" (pure driving pleasure), and the future has the opportunity to test drive in detail with you.
iXM60 is based on bmw electric vehicle iX to create a performance version of the model, priced at 996,900 yuan, who will buy such an expensive electric car, is it worth the price? Welcome to discuss the message.
We got 4 ordinary versions of the iX model, which you can refer to if you are interested.
(BMW iX)
In terms of appearance, M designers do not seem to let the design of ILM60 and the ordinary version of iX what is the difference, we are familiar with the fuel version of the M sports kit in this car is not seen, according to the official given kit, iXM60 can choose the function of color-changing appearance, you can change the body color by the button function in the car, with reference to the domestic traffic regulations, it is impossible to allow use, give up.
The LOGO on the front hood is the glass water filler, which is a very creative and practical idea. The headlights adopt the slender shape of the lamp, and the LED laser matrix light source is consistent with the iX sold in China.
Come to the side, as a medium and large SUV model, the first visual experience, the car is very large, the body proportions look not coordinated enough, giving people a full feeling, frameless doors increase the sense of premium and sporty.
The body size is not officially announced, we refer to the ordinary iX model, body size, length, width and height are 4955/1967/1698mm, wheelbase 3000mm. Bridgestone ALENZA 001 275/40 R22 on the tires, look closely at the wheel rim with the M logo, the style is not different from the ordinary iX, too low-key. The fenders are equipped with a small M logo and are a black design.
The design of the rear of the car is still round and full, the shell tailgate, the long and narrow strip taillights, and not completely through, the overall feeling is still very stable, the diffuser under the encirclement is not very large and long, and the iX is consistent, this aesthetic does need to be adapted, and the FUEL era of BMW can not be compared.
The interior part of the car, as an M series model, no carbon fiber, no tri-color stitching, almost can not find the original impression of the M design style, the olive leaf embossing in front of the co-driver is still preserved, and did not change to M logo because of the M model. The steering wheel style is still the same as the regular iX, which is a hexagonal design, with double spokes and irregular shapes.
The curved screen composed of 12.3-inch full LCD dashboard + 14.9-inch touch screen gives people the feeling that the sense of technology in the car is more than the sense of sport, and the whole design is to surround the driver, and there is not much to give the co-driver. Take a closer look, the display UI interface in the dashboard is very concise, there are many display modes, and the readability of the key information of driving is very intuitive. The picture we got this time is the overseas version, the car machine system will be different from the domestic sales version, as for the performance of the car machine, I really want to understand now, you can refer to the iX model currently on sale. With the blessing of baohua Weijian sound system, the luxury of this car is worth looking forward to.
The suspension center console is a unique point of the iX model, the crystal gear handle and iDrive crystal knob are very delicate, this preference that varies from person to person, it does look a little sci-fi. The seat is still flat and wide style, that is, the level of home use, no sports design is seen, and when the lateral g value is relatively large, the package for the driver will be worse, after all, it is an M model.
In terms of power, according to foreign media reports, iXM60 is equipped with a power system composed of front and rear dual motors, the maximum power of the system is 619Ps, the peak torque is 1100N.m, the official acceleration time of 0 ~ 100km/ h is 3.8 seconds, and the maximum cruising range under WLTP conditions can reach 575Km.
Refer to the domestic iX xDrive 50, the maximum power is 524Ps, the peak torque is 765N.m, the official said that the acceleration time of 0~100km/h is 4.6 seconds, and the cruising range under WLTP conditions is 630km.
The editor has something to say:
See here, for bmw fans who like M series models are mostly disappointed, this iXM60 model is more like to embrace the pure electric era of oil to electric models, no sincerity, as a new M model, too conservative and moderate, no highlights, in it almost do not feel any and M models in the past to give us the feeling of wanting to drive. As a model from the M department, let alone trying new things, even the original good traditions have been lost. But the only amazing thing is the torque of 1100N .m, which is not only a very strong performance parameter in the field of fuel vehicles and electric vehicles.
For this iX M60, it lacks the flavor of the M. In addition to the power, it lacks the atmosphere that the sporty performance car should have, from its shape, ignition start moment, this iX M60 is not, giving people more of a comfortable, luxurious feeling, can indicate the development of M to electrification, that is, M to the compromise of comfort. For more information about the iX M60 and the dynamic performance of the new car, we look forward to its arrival in China as soon as possible.
