As long as there are friends who plan to buy luxury C-class cars, the BMW 5 Series of the German camp is definitely a model that cannot be avoided. Don't look at the interior without Mercedes-Benz E-Class luxury, nor the Cost-effective Audi A6L, but it has still become the preferred car for many potential consumers. Take this opportunity today to have a good chat with you about the BMW 5 Series and see what kind of strength it has? And which version is worth getting started with?
The official guidance price remains between 42.89-55.19 million yuan, the price is at the same level as the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and Audi A6L models with the same displacement, for those consumers with a budget of about 500,000 yuan, I personally recommend the 2022 model with a guidance price of 468,900 yuan to change the 530Li leading luxury suit (hereinafter referred to as the leading luxury), which is also the protagonist of our actual shooting.
In terms of appearance, it is estimated that everyone is familiar with the design of the BMW 5 Series. First of all, the family-style design language was applied to it, and from the front face, it also began to move closer to the big brother 7 series. The larger chrome double kidney grille and raised lines at the cabin canopy create a strong sense of power. The sharp headlight combination on the other sides also makes the overall look very coordinated, while making the grade and aura particularly in place.
As a luxury C-class car, the body size is naturally one of the places that consumers care about, and the lengthening has almost become the standard of luxury C-class cars, after all, consumers spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a car, more for face, the larger the size, the more face has also become the common cognition of many domestic friends. BMW 5 series of length, width and height are 5106 * 1868 * 1500mm, through this data analysis, more than 5 meters 1 length, obviously in line with the appetite of consumers, from the side of the car, with the atmosphere slender to describe the BMW 5 series is the most appropriate.
As for the rear part, the BMW 5 Series is more to highlight the sporty atmosphere, such as the blackened style taillight combination, the exhaust layout of the lower bilateral double, and even give us the illusion of a performance car. Especially for younger friends, the BMW 5 Series is more alluring than the Mercedes-Benz E-Class.
Like the appearance, the central control layout of the BMW 5 Series also follows the family language, with high recognition, but when it comes to the sense of technology and luxury, there is still a big gap with the Audi A6L and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Fortunately, the central control panel is wrapped in soft materials, while the solid wood decorative board is embellished, the actual texture performance is quite OK, and the details are worthy of the positioning of the luxury C-class car.
The reason why I personally recommend this version of leading luxury is, on the one hand, because of the use of a 2.0T high-power engine, which can meet the needs of different car use scenarios, on the other hand, if there is no special requirement for active safety configuration, the original factory configuration of leading luxury is enough. Leaving aside some basic configurations, it is also equipped with active brakes, front and rear parking radar, segmented electric sunroofs, and induction trunks, electric trunks, mobile phone wireless charging, Harman Karton audio, etc., and the cost performance is still more prominent. Among them, the application of induction trunk and HARMAN Karton audio is also more in line with the identity and positioning of luxury C-Class cars.
In terms of riding space, the 178cm tall experiencer sat in the back row of the BMW 5 Series, with nearly three punches of space in the legs, and the head space also had a distance of more than one punch, coupled with a seat with a good sense of wrapping, good comfort is also a plus for the BMW 5 Series. However, like other models of the same class, there are problems such as high bulge in the middle of the rear row and hard backrest.
In the power part, this leading luxury is equipped with a 2.0T high-power engine with a maximum power of 185 kW and a maximum torque of 350 N·m, matching the eight-speed manual transmission. The official 0-100km/h acceleration time is 6.9 seconds, and the actual opening, the throttle to the end, can bring us a violent push back feeling. In addition, the matched 8AT gearbox, in addition to the occasional setback at low speed, the overall ride and shift logic have a remarkable performance.
The most critical point is that the handling is good, the steering accuracy can be done where to play, even if the speed of the car is faster, there will be no exaggerated roll, and Mercedes-Benz E-class driving experience compared, BMW 5 Series is obviously better, I believe this is also the reason why many real owners choose BMW 5 Series.
On the whole, in the domestic luxury C-class car market, the mainstream representatives are nothing more than Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 5 Series and Audi A6L, all of which have their own audiences. As far as today's protagonist BMW 5 Series analysis, the main highlight is to focus on the driving texture, if you are a consumer who pursues control and values the driving experience, the BMW 5 Series is still worth starting.
