【AutoCon Royal Car】Original
In the history of the automobile industry, a pair of "happy enemies" have been recorded: Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW 5 Series, in the half-century-long competition, promoting each other's short and long, setting up benchmarks and milestones for executive-level luxury cars again and again. Today, these two classic traditional executive-grade cars have ushered in their own historic moment, before their respective brands completely turn to new energy, they will usher in their own curtains, but even if the curtain is about to end, the competition is still the same!
When the current Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW 5 Series are still competing for the executive level throne, the time for the E-Class and 5 Series, which have been completed in the mid-term, is running out of time to stay in the market performance! Although the new generation of models is still tightly wrapped in disguise, it is better to have a new next-generation BMW 5 Series vs Mercedes-Benz E-Class time-lapse "Advanced Showdown"!
The appearance and interior of the new next-generation Mercedes-Benz E-Class have been circled by the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class and C-Class, and have long been properly arranged, and the upper luxury cannot exceed the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and the lower limit cannot be lower than the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class. The only thing left for the new generation of Mercedes-Benz E-Class to play is whether the interior air conditioner outlet is long or round. In short, the physical buttons of the air conditioning and entertainment systems of these two new cars will disappear as a whole and be integrated into the central control screen.
At the same time, the appearance and interior of the new generation of BMW 5 Series will also usher in great changes, but the overall development direction is still unclear, until the official tone of the new generation of BMW flagship 7 Series! But the interior will definitely adopt a simple horizontal screen design, the "chicken leg" is gone, and the short and lean new electronic gear lever saves a lot of space for the central handrail area.
After the new generation of Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW 5 Series two new cars officially launched a new generation, the new model is likely to be the "last generation" of these two administrative-level typical representatives, the same level of pure electric vehicle Model Mercedes-Benz EQE has been released, BMW i5 is also in testing, which is equivalent to announcing that these two new cars will still be dominated by traditional power, with 48V micro-mix and so on.
The launch of the Mercedes-Benz EQE and BMW i5 will be a continuation of these two traditional models and a rushing bell for the end of these two classic models. At most, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW 5 Series barely rely on plug-in hybrids to survive longer.
The new generation of Mercedes-Benz E-Class will be released first than the BMW 5 Series, which is expected to be as soon as the end of 2023, while the BMW 5 Series is likely to be after the debut of the new BMW i5, after 2024...
