After paying attention to the BMW Brilliance X5 for more than half a year, it was finally officially listed yesterday, and many people may have thought that the price of domestic X5 would fall to less than 600,000, but it did not, and the price range after domestic production was 60.50-77.50 million, compared with the original import version of 69.99-83.99 million yuan, the starting price was explored by more than 90,000 yuan, and the top price was reduced by more than 60,000 yuan.
But in fact, according to BMW's past qualitative point of view, this time the domestic production of X5 seems to give more sincerity. Take the 5 series as a reference, the price of the imported version of the 5 series only needs 423,900 yuan, and the price of the car has risen to 428,900 yuan after the domestic production, and the core power system of the two models is completely the same, and the configuration is only slightly different, but the domestic 5 series body has been lengthened.
In our impression, the domestic production of luxury brands means that the cost is reduced and the price is lower, but the 5 series proves that this is not the same thing. So, if according to the usual law, the domestic X5 that has dropped by as much as 90,000 sounds really thick, then is it really so?
First look at the product itself, the domestic X5 retains the original taste of the imported version in the design, but the details have been slightly adjusted, and friends who want to cut the standard in the future do not have to worry about being embarrassed, and many people may not be able to distinguish it without looking carefully. The interior also continues the original style, but the domestic version offers a unique volcanic red color scheme.
The upgrade of the domestic X5 is mainly reflected in two aspects:
The first is the space, the length, width and height of the domestic rear X5 reached 5060/2004/1779 mm, the wheelbase was 3105mm, in addition to the width of the car, the rest of the data compared to the imported version has increased, the rear leg space is more spacious and comfortable, and the seat filling is thicker, but the leather seat is changed to an imitation leather seat.
The second is the change of configuration, xDrive 30Li M sports suit than the corresponding import version to increase the parallel assist, lane departure warning, road traffic sign identification, reversing side warning, front mobile phone wireless charging, Harman Karton audio, and rear charging interface and other configurations, the price dropped by 94,900 yuan. At the same time, xDrive 30Li also launched an imported version without exclusive, priced at 635,000 yuan.
On this basis, the xDrive 40Li M sports suit has more independent air conditioning in the rear than the imported version, a touch LCD screen key, a HUD head-up display, and a front seat ventilation function, and the price is down to 49,900 yuan.
The xDrive 40Li M Premium M Sports Suit also provides an adaptive dual-axis air suspension that is not available in the imported version, which can carry out the chassis high joint within the range of plus or minus 40mm, and also has the functions of steering wheel heating and rear seat heating, and the price is down at 64,900 yuan.
However, the domestic version also has a place where the configuration is shrunk: for example, the entire series does not use the imported version of the leather seat, but changed to an imitation leather seat. In addition, the performance of the two engines has also been compressed, the domestic version of the 2.0T maximum horsepower is only 245Ps, the maximum horsepower of 3.0T is 333Ps, while the imported version of the 2.0T maximum horsepower is 265Ps, and the maximum horsepower of 3.0T is 340Ps.
So strictly speaking, although the purchase threshold has been reduced, strictly speaking, the cost performance of BMW Brilliance X5 is not as high as imagined. However, in the field of medium and large SUVs, the competition is not so fierce, and the imported X5 has always been the king of this subdivision W field, sales are higher than Mercedes-Benz GLE and Audi Q7, the data shows that X5 in last year's insurance volume of more than 50,000 vehicles, while GLE and Q7 were only 47,700, 16,300 vehicles, for this price point of the gap is still more obvious, which may be the source of BMW confidence. After the domestic X5 sacrificed a little power, but in exchange for a lower price and a richer internal configuration, for many people, scolding, may eventually still pay the same.
