In the past two days, everyone is discussing the domestic BMW X5, and the BMW i3, which is listed at the same time as this car, has not paid so much attention. The successive price increases of Tesla Model 3 Model Y and the relatively high threshold of Weilai ET5 make the BMW i3 that came to the scene look good. The price of 349,900 yuan, BMW's brand aura, 3 series of sports genes, plus 526km is not bad endurance, many people say that BMW i3 after the sale should be good, then let's talk about whether this car is worth buying.
#大家还在乎 "oil to electricity"?
"Oil to electricity" is something that many brands are doing, and now, it is estimated that everyone has become accustomed to it. Take BMW, two years ago listed BMW iX3, from the price to the product has been sprayed by netizens quite miserable, sales are also very miserable, last January, iX3 all department officials dropped 70,000, pay attention to the people began to more, to now, iX3 on the street visibility is still quite high. In fact, everyone initially despised the iX3, the reason is that the similarity between this car and the X3 is too high, the difference is only in the replacement of the hardware structure.
The BMW i3 is the same reason, based on the long axle 3 series, and is also a domestic special supply car, overseas markets do not have a standard wheelbase i3. In addition, iX3 and i4 are also based on the existing CLAR platform for transformation, followed by iX1, i5, i7, respectively, the fuel version of X1, 5 series and 7 series. To know that BMW is not without a pure electric platform, iX is the only model on sale based on a pure electric platform. In fact, in the end, the brand aura of luxury brands still has a certain added value in new energy models, and in the case of similar prices, there are still many people who will choose traditional luxury brand models, "oil to electricity" This thing will be more and more diluted, the endurance is not bad, the product can still be the final appeal of everyone to buy a tram.
Talking about this, what is the difference between the model of oil to electricity and the pure electric platform? First of all, based on the fuel model transformation of electric vehicles, the structure of the electric drive system is not as good as the special pure electric platform, which also causes the quality of the whole vehicle to be generally relatively heavy, if this is fully optimized, the effect is not necessarily satisfactory. The fuel vehicle platform will take into account the design position of the engine, gearbox, chassis structure and other design positions at the very beginning, and the hardware required for the fuel vehicle is also reserved, and the tram can only be modified on this basis in the later stage, and some innate structures cannot be greatly changed. For example, at the beginning of the birth of pure electric architecture, it is a rough house without a load-bearing wall, you can use your imagination to arrange it at will, and changing the tram on the fuel platform means that the limitations are very large, at least the load-bearing wall you can not dismantle. In summary, the general oil-to-electric model endurance is generally not as good as the model produced by the pure electric architecture, and the optional endurance version is usually relatively single, and the space in the cabin is more or less affected by the battery.
#3系变i3, what has changed and what has not?
The BMW i3 is based on the Long Axis 3 Series, but is larger in size than the 3 Series. The length, width and height of the 4872/1846/1481mm, the wheelbase of 2966mm, is 3mm longer than the wheelbase of the 3 series, and the length, width and height have increased synchronously, and from this point, it can be seen that BMW will adjust the size of the details in order to plug a whole battery for the 3 series. And such a size also gives the i3 an advantage over major competitors such as weilai ET5.
In the i3 there are also some configurations that the 3 series does not have, the original anti-roll rod, HRS hydraulic rebound shock absorption, rear adaptive air suspension, front suspension top tie rod and other columns of configurations in order to improve the control, after all, the vehicle mass is much heavier than the 3 series, in order to control the performance without pulling, these are also necessary to do. The main change in appearance is that some kits, front and rear surrounds have added some new energy blue embellishments, the shape of the diffuser is more exaggerated, and it will not feel like a long-axis version of the 3 series on the road.
Compared with the appearance, the change in the i3 car compared to the 3 series is the focus, and this screen interior is also the family interior of bmw electric models this year in the future. All along, BMW's interior is not a strong point, but in recent years, the gap with Mercedes-Benz and Audi has gradually narrowed, and the i3 set of interiors is at best average in terms of the current development of new energy vehicles. Take away the 3 series LCD instrument and the large screen directly, and replace it with a whole screen, simple and rude, but at least it is much more responsible than the iX3 to follow the X3 interior.
iDrive 8 system is applied on i3, the functionality is still general compared to the current self-owned brand car machine system, but the rendering effect of the screen is very good, the interface can even be comparable to the Apple mobile phone, the color looks very comfortable, which also makes the xiaobian this iDrive 7 user very envious.
Although the configuration shown by the i3 at the press conference is no less than some popular models at the same price, when you look at the configuration table, you will find that many of the configurations of this car need to be optional. Simulated sound wave 1900 yuan, front seat heating 3500 yuan, seat waist support 1400 yuan, adaptive far and near light 3200 yuan, keyless entry and electric tailgate total 8400 yuan, 360 ° panoramic image 8600 yuan, ACC adaptive cruise 5900 yuan, automatic parking 8600 yuan, automatic driving assistance system Pro to 19900 yuan. If it is not optional, the configuration is not even as high as a BMW 1 Series. In summary, the price of 349,900 naked cars, if you want to choose some configurations, plus insurance and BMW decoration costs, the final price of the i3 has to run 400,000. It is more expensive than the top version of the NIO ET5, 700 km endurance.
The BMW i3 has a battery pack capacity of 70kWh and the CLTC has a range of 526km. The maximum power of the motor is 210 kW, the peak torque is 400 N·m, and the zero hundred time is 6.2 S. The overall book parameters look good, and the battery life is more than 500km. But combined with the price point of view, Weilai ET5 is obviously better than the i3 in terms of endurance and acceleration performance, tesla is the same, so it is still that problem, at present, the traditional luxury brand based on the transformation of the tram, in terms of hard power is really not very good, iX3 is, i3 is also.
#编辑总结
In general, the changes made between bmw i3 and 3 series are actually not small, you can understand that for the original driving quality of the 3 series to "find a supplement", you can also understand that the i3 is BMW's 3 series in the field of pure electricity. To be honest, at present, when choosing a traditional luxury brand based on the tram based on the oil car platform, most people still pay for the brand. After all, combined with the product itself and the price, such models do not have advantages. So the question is, more than 300,000 BMW trams and more than 300,000 Tesla and Weilai, which has more face? See you in the comments section!
