Who is the "number one" in the domestic luxury C-class car market? The BMW 5 Series is undoubtedly the most powerful, and in the past 2021, it has sold 177,000 new cars, which can be described as a condescending achievement.
However, because the 5 series of this generation of G chassis is essentially some years old, although it has just completed the mid-term redesign, it can face the menacing "Ashkenazi CP" new E-class and A6L, and its subsequent increments have gradually shown fatigue. But fortunately, the new car plan has been in full swing! Recently, some overseas media broke out a new generation of BMW 5 Series renderings, the new car is equipped with "squinting" headlights + double screen interior, come and see if it is your dish ~
From the rendering, it is not difficult to see that the headlights of the new generation of BMW 5 Series have chosen a more narrow and long design, and adopted an upward shape, and the overall area is smaller than the current 5 Series. LED day running lights are also two inverted L-shaped designs, the internal light cavity structure is more concise, the movement style is more intense, but I personally think that this "squinting" headlight does not have the atmosphere of the past.
BMW's new car and then increase the double kidney in the net are routine operations, the new generation of 5 grille is no exception, but the grille of the new car is mainly horizontally increased, and does not use the new 4 series of vertical increase in shape, and the overall visual feeling is still very domineering, and the shape of the front surround below In addition to the increase in the air intake area on both sides, there is not much difference with the current 5 series, or take into account the calm and movement.
The side is also very muscular double waist line design, but also the use of the popular semi-hidden door handle, in addition to improving the air resistance, but also enhance a certain sense of technology. The tail lights adopt a new flat design, with a layered rear shape, the overall is still very sporty.
When it comes to interior design, although BMW has always been more conservative in interior design, in today's era of intelligent cockpits, BMW is also time to make changes. Judging from the spy photos currently exposed, the new generation of 5 series uses the same iX cross-sectional curved double screen design, and the overall sense of science and technology has increased greatly! And it is also expected to join the latest iDrive 8 car machine system, the overall use and intelligent experience is expected to be to a higher level.
In the power segment, the main sales model of the new generation of BMW 5 Series is expected to still be equipped with 2.0T 4-cylinder and 3.0T six-cylinder engines, and will be available in plug-in hybrid models. The high-end M version of the model is not yet sure whether to continue to use the 4.4T V8 engine, after all, the new generation of C63 has adopted a 2.0T plug-in hybrid. It is reported that the new car is scheduled to be released in the spring of 2023 and is expected to land in the domestic market in the same year.
Competitor analysis
The direct competitors of the BMW 5 Series are undoubtedly the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and the Audi A6L.
Although the Mid-Term Redesigned Mercedes-Benz E-Class is not as elegant as the previous generation, it is still synonymous with luxury, especially the long-shaft version, with a wheelbase of more than 3 meters, and the extended seat cushions have been softened, which is quite a bit of S-class courtesy. Moreover, the revamped E-class upgrades the entry-level model with 1.5T to 2.0T, and the overall competitiveness is stronger. The new generation of the 5 series is obviously biased towards a sporty design, and it is expected that the grade in the atmosphere will still suffer slightly.
The biggest advantage of Audi A6L is undoubtedly cost-effective, its terminal discount in BBA has always been advantageous, but due to chips and epidemic reasons, the amplitude has dropped slightly, but it is still very good in terms of power or cost performance.
Nice! That's it for this time. I don't know what you think of this design of the new generation of BMW 5 Series? Welcome to leave a message to discuss!
