Speaking of BMW X5, from the moment it entered the Chinese market, it has become popular in the domestic market as a luxury SUV, and as an evergreen tree in the luxury SUV market, it has gained the favor of car owners for more than several years. As a domestic extended version of BMW Brilliance, the new car was more highly anticipated by domestic consumers at the beginning of the release, and the popularity on the Network has not decreased, after all, the longer wheelbase will bring better rear seating space, improve the BMW X5 import version of the rear space short board, continue to be called the same level of benchmarking. So today I will analyze with you which domestic BMW X5 is more worth buying.
◆ Domestic BMW X5 information introduction
The new BMW X5 rear space is on display
Before starting the shopping guide, let's briefly review some of the information of the domestic BMW X5, and roughly explain the difference in configuration compared with the imported version. First of all, the wheelbase change is the biggest change in the domestic BMW X5 compared to the imported version, and the wheelbase of the domestic BMW X5 increased by 130mm to 3105mm. Its length, width and height are 5060mm/2004mm/1779mm, compared with the imported version from the side, the whole vehicle is obviously more atmospheric and stretched. Such wheelbase numbers fully take care of all the car scenes in daily life, even completely flush with BMW's large SUV, BMW X7.
The domestic BMW X5 continues the design scheme of the imported version in terms of appearance, in fact, there are not many changes in general, but the changes in details are still relatively rich. The front surround of the new car presents an in-line design and focuses on adding chrome decoration, which is still obviously different from the imported version. In the rear part, it replaces the previous L-shaped design with suspended 3D stereoscopic taillights, which enhances the design of the tail. There are 6 colors of car paint, of which ferris gray is the first new color scheme. Wheels range in size from 20 to 22 inches and are available in five styles, including standard and optional.
The luxurious immersive light atmosphere system specially equipped for the Chinese market greatly enhances the sense of ceremony of using the vehicle, and the "Angel Wings" welcome light blanket lights up the atmosphere before boarding the car.
Mobile phone wireless charging base developed specifically for the Chinese market
In the interior part, the domestic BMW X5 will be equipped with the seventh generation BMW iDrive human-computer interaction system, with dual 12.3-inch displays, bringing an interactive experience that is more in line with the habits of Chinese. The BMW iDrive multimedia interaction system added the "Tencent Small Scene" function, including QQ music, Himalaya and other applications. Enhanced "personal assistants" enhance interaction capabilities, allowing users to precisely control window opening and closing through voice commands, making restaurant reservations, setting reminders and memos, controlling in-vehicle Tmall Genie (online music and controlling smart home products), and even helping drivers switch driving modes through voice commands. The mobile phone wireless charging base developed by BMW for the Chinese market cancels the flip cover and makes a slope compared with the imported version, making it easier to put the mobile phone and more suitable for Chinese consumers.
In addition, the domestic BMW X5 provides comfortable seats for the Chinese market and adopts a new soft synthetic leather called "Sensafin", which has a more delicate touch and a better summer breathability effect than the previous synthetic leather. The seat cushions are thickened by 15 mm, and the rear seat angle is increased to 31° compared to the overseas version, making the sitting position more relaxed. The rear seats are also designed with comfortable headrests and a redesigned central armrest, and offer seat heating.
In terms of power, the domestic BMW X5 is equipped with two displacement engines, 2.0T and 3.0T, which are matched with Aisin 8AT transmissions. The 2.0T engine is familiar to us, with a maximum power of 245 hp and a maximum torque of 400 Nm; the engine code of the 3.0T model is B58, bmw for the first time matches the engine with a 48V light hybrid system, the maximum power is 333 hp, the maximum torque is 450 Nm, and the 0-100 km/h acceleration is only 6.0 seconds. After adding the 48V light mix system, the subjective feeling of the owner will be more friendly, the starting vibration in the car is very low, the driving smoothness is very good; the air conditioner can operate normally after the automatic start-stop shutdown (so the automatic start-stop button in the car is cancelled). The entire series is equipped with an electronic shock absorption system as standard.
◆ Purchase advice
How to choose between the two displacements?
Let's start with the key shopping guide section of this article. Buying a domestic BMW X5 can divide the choice into two steps, first decide the displacement, and then decide the configuration. After all, the displacement is to choose one of the two, after the displacement is determined, the configuration choice is solved, and the same is the choice of two (M sports suit or exclusive M sports suit). The biggest factor in deciding to buy is the budget and the degree of emphasis on the configuration, the 2.0T model is suitable for consumers with limited budget, the configuration is not picky at all, more than 600,000 buy a BMW medium and large SUV, there is a row surface and an aura, there is indeed no problem; 3.0T model because of the stronger power, designed for the Chinese market to join the configuration is complete, suitable for consumers with sufficient budgets and want to be in place. Compared with the imported BMW X5, the new BMW X5 has a maximum price reduction of more than 90,000 yuan, which is indeed cost-effective.
How to choose different configurations?
1, first of all, let's talk about what the domestic BMW X5 comes standard with
In terms of appearance, in addition to the most entry-level version of the headlights equipped with ordinary LED headlights, the rest of the models are equipped with X-type intelligent laser headlights as standard. All 30Li models come standard with 20-inch wheels; the 40Li models have an upgraded wheel size to 21 inches. The whole series is equipped with a comfortable access 2.0 system as standard, including 3 meters close to the vehicle lighting on, close to 1.5 meters automatic unlocking, opening the door to play a welcome animation and automatically adjusting the vehicle to adapt to personal settings after boarding the car. The whole series is equipped with panoramic glass sunroof and M aerodynamic kit as standard.
In terms of interior, the domestic BMW X5 series is equipped with front seat heating, intelligent induction atmosphere lights, mobile phone wireless charging, and WIFI hotspot as standard. In terms of details, the new car can be combined with 4 seat colors and 4 interior strips. The 2.0T version of the model interior strip can choose between ink gray/brown poplar wood textured high-grade wood trim, and the 3.0T model is a bay type fine line grain high-grade wood trim with pearlescent chrome decorative strips.
In the intelligent technology configuration part, the automatic parking assistance PLUS will be equipped as standard in addition to the entry-level version, and the functions include advanced functions such as track reversing, 360° panoramic image, remote 3D parking image and so on.
2. What are the differences between different configurations?
◆ xDrive 30Li M Sports Kit
Price: 605,000 yuan
Referral Index: ★★★
As the entry-level version of the whole series, it can be said that it is quite tempting to turn the BMW X5 into the 600,000 yuan SUV level. But how the specific configuration performs, we continue to look down. As the lowest-spec model in the series, the basic configuration is only barely enough for daily use. First of all, in terms of appearance, the headlights are not BMW's laser technology, there is no blue X logo, there is no automatic high beam control system, and it is easy to be recognized at a glance as the lowest match. Exterior features only include the all-series standard anti-glare exterior mirrors and a keyless entry system that provides ease of use for owners. There is also no newer autopilot assist PLUS function in the technology configuration, only the help of the collision prevention assistance system. The seat section, the new BMW X5's most eye-catching comfort seat version 2.0T version is not equipped with a slight pity.
◆ xDrive 30Li Premium M Sports Kit
Price: 635,000 yuan
Referral Index: ★★★★
30,000 yuan more than the minimum model, the configuration comes to xDrive 30Li Premium M Sports Suit. In terms of configuration differences, the 30,000 yuan is exchanged for laser headlights, smart touch keys, and high beam automatic control. HuD full-color head-up display system, dashcam, and HARMAN Caton premium audio were added to the car. I personally believe that the difference of 30,000 yuan in exchange for the configuration of the increase in value, the cost of a single pair of laser headlights may be close to 30,000 yuan. But the configuration of this matter is completely different from person to person, some car owners think that I usually have good driving skills, do not need these "gimmick" configuration, prefer to spend the difference on the comfort configuration of this "blade". If you have that in mind, don't worry, I suggest you look straight ahead at the 40Li model.
◆ xDrive 40Li M Sports Kit
Price: 705,000 yuan
Referral Index: ★★★★★
Starting with the 40Li model, the power specification was upgraded to a 3.0T 6-cylinder engine, combined with its price (only 50,000 yuan more than the 2.0T top version), I gave a recommendation index of 5 stars. The reason is simple, it can meet the hard demand of consumers for X5 power, while the price is nearly 50,000 yuan lower than the imported version, and at the same time, several exclusive configurations have been added to the Chinese market, and the cost performance is the highest in the whole series.
Specifically, compared with the 30Li model, the 40Li starting configuration has already done enough appearance. xDrive 40Li M Sport Suit version with wheels upgraded to 21 inches for a fuller visual effect. The remaining differences are all concentrated in the configuration part of the car, first the roof is replaced with Alcantara ink gray, creating an upscale atmosphere of dark interior. In addition to the full range of features including the 30Li Premium M Sport, four practical features have been added, including front comfort seats with 20 adjustments, ventilation in the front seats, and an upgrade of the air conditioning in the car to a 4-zone control.
PS: What is a Comfort Seat? The headrest has an active design and the surface is covered with a relatively upright and thick piece of padding. The automatic adjustment of the distance and height to the head in the event of a rear-end accident to reduce the likelihood of cervical spine injury is part of BMW's active safety protection system.
◆ xDrive 40Li Premium M Sports Kit
Price: 775,000 yuan
xDrive 40Li Premium M Sports Suit This configuration is the top of the new BMW X5, to establish a high-end flagship image, the configuration level will be very complete, I give a four-star recommendation, the reason is that if the budget is sufficient to buy the top match will not regret, but perhaps the top match is not suitable for everyone.
The difference between the two 3.0T versions is 70,000, which is indeed not a small amount. Let's take a look at what configuration upgrades are available. The exterior part, the 21-inch wheels are equipped with blue M high-performance brake calipers inside, and the rear of the car has M sports exhaust, a symbol of identity and status, no problem. Entering the car, the front comfort seats add comfort heating components on the basis of heating and ventilation, that is, the heating function of the front armrests, to ensure the absolute comfort of the ride. The rear seats are heated, and this is the only model in the series that supports seat heating in both the front and rear seats. In addition, the intelligent sensor mood lights that surround the cockpit and the skylight of the starry sky create a more refined style. The Autonomous Driving Assist Pro is also a top-of-the-line specialty, and other configurations need to be optional (the cost ranges from 16,000 and 17,000). The Autonomous Driving Assistance System Pro is L2 level and the driver will still be responsible for the operation of the vehicle. But the hardware level is paired with the most advanced sensors available, specifically 25 sensors, cameras and radars.
Therefore, whether the 70,000 yuan spent is worth it or not depends entirely on the purchasing power, and perhaps it really responds to the sentence: "It is good to have money." The full range of configurations can meet the needs of the vast majority of discerning consumers, and on this model you can experience BMW's latest technology and driving experience.
◆ About the price of the optional part
The configuration and price of the domestic BMW X5 optional part In order to facilitate everyone's reading, I made a table. It can be seen that the new car still continues the advantages of bmw models with rich optional configurations, and the most entry-level version you can accept the state of not choosing anything, and you can also customize the personalized optional customization according to your own needs, and the degree of flexibility is very high. Here I recommend several 30Li models as an option, with front comfort seats and front comfort heating components, which are configurations that really improve the need for ride comfort in the car.
summary
With a very attractive price, the domestic BMW X5 is destined to set off a new round of competition in domestic medium and large SUVs. Judging from the fact that there are more than 30 orders in a single store in Beijing on the market, the hot sales of domestic BMW X5 have become a foregone conclusion, and it depends on whether BMW's production capacity can keep up with the delivery speed. Returning to the main theme of today's article, I personally recommend choosing the xDrive 40Li M Sports Suit version, which is configured in a reasonable and relatively complete situation, experiencing a unique luxurious atmosphere, leading intelligent digital innovation technology and excellent dynamic performance and extended wheelbase to bring back-row advantages, IKEA IKEA. BMW took the opportunity to take the lead in domestic production of medium and large SUVs to make the X5's competitiveness comprehensively improved, and it seems that it is impossible to find a second alternative model in the Chinese market.
