Buying an electric car seems to have become a topic that everyone can't get around when buying a car, whether it is because of indicators, or just need and other issues, in addition to the electric vehicles brought by new forces to build cars, in fact, traditional car companies have also forced the pure tram market, but the initial products are oil to electricity standards, and indeed sales are very bleak. Take the BBA, there is currently no hot pure electric model, netizens sigh that the era eliminated you, really do not need a hello.
BMW is also vigorously laying out its own electric vehicle sequence, adding more models to meet consumer demand for market segments. Just earlier, BMW announced three rough stages of electrification development, proposing that by 2023, the BMW brand will provide about 13 pure electric products worldwide, and by 2025, more than 1/4 of BMW's sales in China will be pure electric models, and in the future, BMW will also launch pure electric models in almost all market segments.
In fact, BMW currently has some oil to electric models, such as iX3 and IX series, foreign media exposed a group of days ago, overseas media gave the rendering of this new car. The BMW i5 is an electric car based on the BMW 5 Series. According to the latest news, the BMW i5 is expected to debut in 2022 in the form of 2023 models, the time is very close, of course, foreign media revealed that the BMW i5 will be unveiled as a 2024 model a year later.
Different from the practice of new forces, BMW's approach to developing electric vehicles is to launch the corresponding electric version of the existing fuel version model matrix as much as possible. The BMW i5 will be an electric version of the 5 Series, and other versions are not excluded.
Judging from the renderings, the BMW i5 will still have BMW's iconic double kidney grille, and the headlights are more sharp than the fuel version, and the design is uplifted. The lines of the entire body seem to be almost consistent with the fuel car, and "The Way to Understand the Car" speculates that this is an oil to electricity, not like a brand new model, more like a redesign of the current BMW 5 Series. In addition to the travel version, the new car will also launch a regular sedan version, and friends who pay attention to it can pay attention to it. Earlier, foreign media also took some road test spy photos, but they were very tightly disguised.
In terms of power, foreign media expect that the new car will have three versions of eDrive40, xDrive40 and i5 M50, the eDrive40 is a rear-drive single-motor model, and the other two are dual-motor four-wheel drive models. Among them, the i5 M will be equipped with a three-motor system, and the maximum power can reach 750 horsepower. (Image source: motor1; text/The way to understand the car, Li Guohui, editor)
