After 2 years of gossip, the localization process of bmw X5 has finally turned around and landed. In fact, as early as 2020, germany BMW has decided to mass-produce X5 at the Shenyang BMW Tiexi plant, when the planned listing time is April 2022.
Now, BMW is still very down-to-earth, whether it is the declaration information of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology or the pre-sale progress of 4S stores across the country, which indicates the arrival of this new car. So, as of now, can the highest positioning of the BMW X localization series replicate the success of X1 and X3?
Plans haven't changed?
Perhaps the road to localization of BMW X5 has gone too long and too bumpy, and the domestic version finally named BMW X5L has not been able to show the design style of the new mid-term redesign X5 that has begun to be exposed, or the stability and atmosphere of the original main feature.
Judging from the new car declaration information of the new car in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the overall design of bmw X5L is basically consistent with the current imported version of X5, which is reflected in the front IP, side details and tail as a whole, and the imported X5 is silly and indistinguishable.
However, since it is a domestic version for Chinese consumers, there are still changes, such as the front use of more chrome design, in line with the Chinese people's pursuit of refinement, while the overall size of 5060/2004/1779mm and the wheelbase of 3105mm, compared with the import version of the model length and wheelbase increased by 130mm, height increased by 3mm, visual atmosphere and space attributes have different degrees of improvement, the same is to cater to the chinese appetite optimization.
No change in the interior, improved power?
The interior part has not yet been officially announced, but the exposure map is still there.
According to the X5L interior exposure map circulating on the Internet, the overall layout of the domestic version of the interior has not changed, and the floating central control screen and the full LCD instrument are all based on the existing scheme, and the scientific and technological atmosphere is still very sufficient. The details of the change are located at the center armrest, the wireless charging panel size has been increased, the cup holder is left, and the rest remains the same.
As for the detailed configuration, it is still in the confidential part and is temporarily unknown, but the power configuration is still relatively clear. The domestic version of X5L also has two versions of 2.0T4 cylinder version and 3.0T six cylinder, the maximum power is 272Ps and 370Ps, and the transmission system should still be ZF's 8AT.
From the perspective of book parameters, the domestic version is to numerically lead the imported version, after all, the maximum power of the latter is 265Ps and 340Ps. However, considering the maximum net power that needs to be declared after the official listing of domestic models and the impact of China VI emissions, the final figure may not be much different from the configuration of the current model, of course, this part of the parameters will not have any substantial impact on the driving texture.
500,000 want to take it? Think about it
Finally came the happy selling price part. According to the pre-sale policy announced in advance by some domestic 4S stores, the threshold price of domestic BMW X5L may be 558,000 yuan, the price of the 3.0T top version is 758,000 yuan, and the price of the other two medium-equipped models is between them.
In this way, after the localization of X5 landed, removing tariffs and reducing the cost of parts did make the price threshold of this luxury medium and large SUV a lot lower, and the cost performance was much stronger than that of competing models such as Mercedes-Benz GLE and Audi Q7. However, even so, the X5L price is still a bit far from the threshold price of 500,000 near the initial media forecast. Especially considering that many configurations of luxury models need to be equipped with optional urine, X5L has an advantage in price, but it is definitely not a product that conventional consumers can afford, and its planned production capacity of 120,000 units is also difficult to achieve.
Taste of the car:
For the localization of the landing to reduce product prices, BMW is still quite sincere, which can be seen from the product quality and strength of X5L and imported global products. What is more interesting is that for the author, the final sales performance of BMW X5L is not curious, the price reduction + increase will definitely be much better than the import, what really makes the author curious is how Audi and Mercedes-Benz will give how to deal with it, if it remains the same, the medium and large luxury SUV This acre and three points of land may be dug up by BMW a large part.
