There is a paragraph on the Internet, that is, in the BMW SUV sequence, the X1 back row is larger than the X3, and the X3 is larger than the X5. What's the situation? The more expensive the space, the smaller it sounds, which sounds quite incredible, but the truth is true, I don't believe you can go to the Internet to pick up the back space of X1/X3/X5 compared with the actual measurement, you can see at a glance.
Soon, many keyboard car gods who did not know the truth began to complain on the Internet, and even some BMW fans were brought up to the rhythm. Once this matter was reported, BMW was naturally unhappy, but the problem is that this generation of X5 has only been launched for four years, and if you want to survive until the big change and then lengthen it, isn't the yellow broccoli cold?!
Besides, even if BMW can wait, then we consumers are not necessarily willing to wait, so this time BMW made up its mind to make an extended version of X5, since the imported version can not be changed, then use your brain in Brilliance Baoma.
No, on the first day of March, bmw group officially released the official picture of the BMW X5 long-axis version, and the four words "BMW Brilliance" were impressively printed on the back of the car, indicating its domestic identity. Friends with fast hands must have seen the domestic BMW X5 makeup photos in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology before, but I have to say that after seeing the official map, I still have to sigh: Ah ~ refining is indeed better than the original picture! Oh no, the long axis is indeed more fragrant than the standard axis!
Why do you say it's really fragrant? Where is the incense and incense?
The first is the size of the incense. The length, width and height of the domestic BMW X5 are 5060/2004/1779mm, and the wheelbase is 3105mm, while for reference, the length, width and height of the imported BMW X5 are 4930/2004/1776mm, and the wheelbase is 2975mm. It can be seen that the most obvious place for the domestic BMW X5 to improve is the wheelbase, compared to the imported X5 lengthened by 130mm, and all added to the rear row, to know that the wheelbase of 3105mm has been perfectly consistent with the "big brother" X7, so as to ask you, who dares to say that X5 space is small?
This is followed by the price of incense. Although the official price of the domestic version of X5 has not yet been officially announced, from the news flowing out of the Internet, the price of the domestic version will be more than 100,000 yuan cheaper than the imported version. Specific to the price, according to a domestic dealer, the price of the domestic version of X5 is expected to be 550,000-750,000 yuan, or no concept? In contrast, the starting price of the imported version of X5 has reached 699,900 yuan, and the starting price of the 3.0T version is as high as 754,900 yuan.
I have to say that the domestic version of X5 not only has a larger space than the imported version, the price is also lower, just ask those friends who just mentioned the imported version of X5 not long ago, angry people are not angry? Seeing this, there must be a keyboard car god jumping out and saying that the imported version is the international standard axle body, the control is better, the imported version of the quality control is more excellent, etc., but I want to ask, buy X5 users, how many hands of money is blown by the wind? How many will drive a medium and large SUV splitter? In the end, it is not a picture of face, card field and practicality.
Therefore, after the domestic version of X5 is listed, selling out will be a high probability event, as for whether the terminal will increase the price, I suggest that the dealer do well for himself, do not play this good hand.
Regarding the lengthening, are competitors following the same step?
I think it's only a matter of time.
First of all, from the product level, looking at the sales list of luxury medium and large SUVs in 2021, the imported version of X5 is sitting firmly in the top position with annual sales of about 50,200 units, Lexus RX and Mercedes-Benz GLE are ranked after X5 with a gap of about 2,000 units, and the Audi Q7 is ranked after Porsche Cayenne and Volvo XC90.
It can be seen that the performance of the imported version of X5 in China last year has been very good, at this moment, the introduction of a lower price, more space of the domestic version of the X5, is bound to be able to help the BMW X5 series in China sales. As a direct opponent of Mercedes-Benz GLE and Audi Q7, if they do not step up the speed of localization or launch an extended version, then the future GLE and Q7 in terms of sales are likely to be further pulled apart by the X5.
Secondly, in terms of trends, the luxury brand car companies represented by BBA have undergone localization (plus) good (long), whether it is "34C" or "56E", or Q5L, GLC and A7L, which has recently been listed, are tireless in terms of lengthening. It can be speculated that the BBA extends the wheelbase of its own medium and large SUV, it is really only a matter of time, as for the upcoming domestic version of X5, it may just be a brick throw, because no one can say for sure, when Mercedes-Benz also launched a GLE long axis version...
Write at the end:
As one of bmw's most important SUVs, the X5 series has been in the market for 23 years since its birth in 1999, and has also accumulated sales of more than 2 million units worldwide, which is not easy for a luxury medium and large SUV.
And the launch of the domestic version of X5, on the basis of the imported version of the model to achieve "lengthening & price reduction", for the Chinese people is undoubtedly a good thing of "killing two birds with one stone", after all, the reputation of BMW X5 has long been famous, this time if you can get it at a more affordable price, and the space is still larger, ask you who will say no to such a good thing?
