Since 2020, when it was revealed that the BMW X5 is about to be domestically produced, everyone's expectations have never stopped. The size of the longer, the price reduction, etc., is also your focus, after all, the import version of the minimum with nearly 700,000 new car prices, but also let many people discouraged.
On March 1, BMW officially released a new domestic X5L on the official website, although the pre-price did not come out, but many consumers have gone to the 4S store blind booking in order to pick up the car as soon as possible. What is the price of the X5L after domestic production, and what are the changes in the configuration? Today we will go to the 4S store field survey!
01
Sales give offer: 55-75 million
The minimum is 550,000-600,000
Nonsense aside, we give the price of our field visit directly.
1, the price is about 100,000 lower
Imported models are discounted by 20,000 yuan
According to the sales, the overall price is 550,000-750,000, and when we continue to consult on the grounds that we want to buy a model with a minimum of 2.0T, the price given by the sale is 550,000-600,000 yuan, which is not expected to exceed 600,000.
If the price given by the sale is accurate, compared with the minimum match of the imported X5 2.0T, the domestic BMW X5 is not only lengthened, but also nearly 100,000 yuan cheaper. And the price of import 2.0T, the sales quotation is to give a discount of 20,000 yuan, and there are cash cars. Although the detailed configuration is not out, it can be determined that the price of the domestic X5L is more cost-effective.
2. After listing, it may be necessary to increase the price of the car
The intention payment is refundable and transferable
Subsequently, the sales said that if you really want to buy, you can first give 1,000 yuan of intention money, and you can refund and transfer the car purchase qualification. When asked whether a price increase was needed, the answer to the sales was ambiguous, presumably meaning that due to the shortage of production and chips, it may be necessary to increase the price of the car, so 1000 was formulated
The rules that the yuan intention is refundable and transferable.
3. Pick-up time
The earliest is probably at the end of April and the beginning of May
When we asked when we could test drive, the sales reply was expected to be able to test drive at the end of April, and if it could be ordered, it could be prioritized for production, and the car would be picked up at the end of April and May at the earliest. It's understandable that it's on a first-come, first-served basis.
To summarize all the news, the price range: 550,000-750,000, 2.0T minimum allocation of 55-600,000; 1,000 yuan intention money is refundable and transferable; there may be a need for a mark-up to pick up the car; the fastest after April 30, first-come, first-served. Regarding the price increase, other car friends across the country who have been blindly booked also reflect that dealers have proposed to increase the decoration fee, which is about 0.4-1.5 million yuan. The price varies, and it is estimated that it is the dealer's price increase (unlike the unified price of Xena's unity).

Domestic BMW X5L configuration forecast
There is more than one inlet air suspension that is not available
Through the preview configuration given by the dealer, as well as the clues in the pictures and descriptions on the official website, the author speculated and sorted out the preview configuration of the domestic BMW X5L. You can take a peek!

Configure the analysis
Has the domestic X5L configuration been upgraded?
1. Appearance/driver assistance
First of all, since it is called X5L, the first upgrade is definitely in terms of body size. The new cars have a length, width and height of 5060/2004/1771 (1779) mm, a wheelbase of 3105 mm, and the height may fluctuate depending on the model. Compared with the current model, the body length and wheelbase have been increased by 130mm. I believe that the driving space in the car has also been greatly improved, and this suspense needs to be revealed after seeing the real car.
The appearance of the new car is basically the same as that of the imported model, and the front face is still a large "double kidney" grille, but the sides of the front surround are replaced with chic chrome trims, and the overall sense of luxury has increased. Aside from a little size upgrade, the new car can be said to be exactly the same as the imported version in other aspects. However, many netizens feel that it is slightly ugly after the lengthening, after all, the tailgate can obviously feel the proportion of the lengthened from the visual point of view, and the harmonious proportion of the imported version of the figure is gone. But in order to expand the back space, these aesthetic sacrifices are inevitable.
The domestic X5L also provides M sport exhaust, according to the configuration information given by the dealer, the configuration is not open to four-cylinder models, and only in the top model standard, xDrive40Li M sport needs to add money to choose. In addition, the words "BMW Brilliance" that are obvious in the lower left corner are also particularly eye-catching, and it is estimated that most people will cut it off after buying a car.
In terms of headlights, from the pictures on the official website, we can see that the smart laser headlights are not standard for the whole series, and it is expected that in addition to the entry-level xDrive30Li M sports suit model, it is standard, and the entry-level model is equipped with LED headlights. In addition to the headlights, the automatic driving assistance system Pro is also a highlight of the new domestic X5, from the picture we can see that the top model on the front bumper, below the license plate area, equipped with FRR long-range radar, and this is the exclusive accessory of the automatic driving assistance system Pro. In addition, it is understood that the automatic parking assistance system Plus in addition to the minimum configuration, the other three configurations are equipped.
In terms of car paint, the domestic BMW X5L provides six kinds of options, namely carbon black, gem blue, mysterious gray, ore white, skyscraper gray, quantum blue, all of which are metallic paints. Basically, they are mainly stable, and there are no more lively colors, such as red, etc., and it can be seen that the audience facing the car is also a stable consumer group.
In addition, the new car also offers five kinds of wheels to choose from, the largest can go up to 22 inches, with an extended body can be described as domineering. However, it is expected that the two 22-inch wheels should need to be optional, and the 20-inch wheels may appear standard on the four-cylinder, while the 21-inch wheels will appear on the six-cylinder model as standard.
2. Interior/configuration
In terms of interior, the overall design has not changed radically, and it still maintains a consistent layout with the imported version, although it is not fashionable, but the perfect combination of leather, metal material and glossy panels makes it continue to exude a refined and luxurious atmosphere. The more obvious difference is that the storage space under the central control becomes exposed, with wireless charging on one side and "X5" logo and a cup holder on the other side.
It is worth noting that after the domestic X5L, the leather seats in the car have been replaced by a new soft synthetic leather seat called Sensafin, which BMW said has a more delicate touch, softer and more breathable riding experience than traditional leather. However, the author believes that consumers still prefer genuine leather materials, and it is estimated that BMW's move is also to reduce costs.
In terms of color, the seats are available in four options: volcanic red, mocha, volcanic red stitching black, mocha stitching ivory, in addition to the first two full series standard optional, the last two seat colors or for the full range of optional. It is reported that the interior color can not be selected separately, it will be combined with more adjustable high-end seats (including headrest active adjustment, etc.) and seat ventilation, included in the comfort option package. In addition, in order to cater to the aesthetics of different owners, the texture of the interior trim panels is also optional, and the details can be found on the official website.
In terms of configuration, from the official chart, we can see that above the dashboard, there is a very obvious driving status monitoring as to whether there is a face recognition function is not clear. In addition, HUD head-up display, HARMAN Karton audio, smart touch key and BMW driving recorder and other configurations, in addition to the minimum model is optional, the rest of the models are standard, and the starry sky panoramic sunroof, four-zone independent air conditioning and other comfort configurations, only in the top model standard, the rest of the models or need to be equipped with optional packages to buy optional.
3. Power
The 48V light mix is installed for the first time
In the power part, the domestic BMW X5 provides two power models, and continues to retain the 3.0T model, namely X5 xDrive30Li and X5 xDrive40Li, the former is equipped with a B48 2.0T four-cylinder engine, the latter is equipped with a B58 3.0T six-cylinder engine, both matching the 8AT transmission. Among them, the 2.0T engine has a maximum power of 200kW and the 3.0T engine has a maximum power of 272kW, in addition, the 3.0T six-cylinder xDrive40Li model is equipped with a 48V light mix system. This means that the power output of the domestic version of the model has been improved to varying degrees compared with the imported version (the maximum power of the imported version of 2.0T is 195kW, and the maximum power of 3.0T is 250kW).
The 48V light mix system is believed to be no stranger to everyone, and the BMW X6 listed at the end of last year is also equipped. The advantages it brings are also very obvious, one is that the vehicle starts faster, and the engine noise will be smaller, in addition to not only a smoother driving experience, but also better fuel economy.
However, in recent times, the oil burning time of the B48 four-cylinder engine is also boiling. On the forums of major websites, many netizens are discussing the burning of motor oil in their cars, and bmw officials have not responded. And will the B48 four-cylinder engine on the domestic BMW X5L have the phenomenon of burning oil? This is also one of the concerns of prospective car owners, and the dealer's sales reply is that it has been optimized, but the actual situation will not be known until the new car is listed.

summary
"L" + 100,000 difference Will you really buy it?
Since its launch in 2000, BMW X5 has sold more than 2 million units worldwide, which is difficult to see on other medium and large SUVs, so the BMW X5 is also a well-deserved benchmark for medium and large SUVs. Entering 2022, BMW X5L also ushered in domestic production, although the price did not land within 500,000 expected, but the difference with the imported version of nearly 100,000, as well as a larger size, I believe there are already a lot of bosses holding coins to buy. On the whole, if the opponents of the X5 (Mercedes-Benz GLE, Audi Q7, etc.) do not take measures, they will only be thrown farther and farther away by the X5.
But if the new car really wants to increase the price, combined with the import version of the discount, perhaps it will be more cost-effective to buy an imported X5. It is not excluded that some dealers still have inventory in their hands, or make illegal price increases to sell domestic X5L and increase the preferential treatment of importing X5. All this also needs to be the specific sales situation after the new car is listed, and the prospective owners remember to polish their eyes and buy rationally. After all, after a year of listing, according to BMW's consistent operation, it is estimated that there will be terminal discounts again.
