In terms of styling design, if you are an imported version of the face value powder, then you can rest assured. Because the overall appearance of the new car and the imported version of the gap is not large, the iconic large size double kidney intake grille, the rear of the car using a black design of the 3D stereoscopic taillight group, bilateral a total of four exhaust layout, but also the standard M sports kit, creating a sense of sport atmosphere.
Of course, the details have been changed, such as the addition of inverted L-shaped chrome decoration on the outside of the air intakes on both sides, which has a visual effect of attacking strongly.

The imported version of the leather seat was also cancelled, replaced by a synthetic leather seat, and the rear reclining angle was moved back by 31 degrees, further improving the overall comfort experience.
In addition, many of the new car's technology features may have the opportunity to be standard in the whole series, such as automatic parking assist PLUS, Harman Kardon audio, mobile phone wireless charging, etc. In addition, models above 40Li can be equipped with the original imported 21-inch wheels, which will be equipped with an alcantara ink gray roof cap, front seat ventilation, and 20-way electric adjustment in the front row.

Among them, the six-cylinder xDrive40Li models are equipped with a 48V light mixing system. The two power outputs have been improved to varying degrees compared to the imported version, with a maximum power of 2.0T of 200kW, which is 5kW higher than that of the imported version; the maximum power of 3.0T is 272kW, which is 22kW higher than that of the imported version.
