The new domestic BMW X5 was finally officially listed on March 31, not in time to be listed on April 1 April Fool's Day, it is estimated that BMW is afraid to make a joke with everyone, after all, the previous gossip said that the price of domestic X5 will be lowered to 550,000 yuan to sell it, and now the starting price of 605,000 yuan is not cheap, but compared to the starting price of the imported version of 699,900 yuan, it is still cheaper than 90,000.
So for the new X5 after the domestic production, in addition to the domestic reduction in the price, what other changes?
The new X5 of "China Special"
Is it worth it?
Once we said that a certain model is "China's special supply", often with some demeaning tone in it, after all, for the former Chinese special supply car, the words such as reduced allocation, poor craftsmanship, insincerity, and cutting leeks have also been mentioned together, but today's domestic X5 has achieved Chinese special supply, but it is also full of sincerity.
The biggest change after domestic production is to lengthen the body length and wheelbase, 5060mm body length and 3105mm wheelbase, so that it and their own big brother X7 appearance size is basically the same, this change also completely subverted the once people for X5 rear space small criticism, and BMW this time also for the domestic X5 equipped with China's exclusive comfortable seats, not only the rear seat cushions are thickened with 12mm, and the rear backrest angle is also tilted back by 31 °, All the changes serve one thing: rear comfort.
For the Chinese market, lengthening is a never-changing sales password, and if you enter China, you want to get high sales without lengthening? However, it is also possible to lengthen the wheelbase of the overseas version.
But sales for X5, never a worry, in 2021 the Chinese market import X5 sold 50,200 vehicles, the same year GLE sold 47,800 vehicles, Q7 sold 16,000 vehicles, so sales, is not the biggest incentive for X5 domestic production.
After the domestic price reduction, the configuration is not reduced, more surprisingly, in the absence of shrinking engine and gearbox premise, the domestic X5 is actually equipped with 20-inch aluminum alloy wheels, front seat heating, panoramic glass sunroof, driving safety assistance system, wireless charging, comfortable entry and other configurations, to know that these random configurations on the imported version of the optional cost are thousands or even tens of thousands, and now in the domestic X5 is the standard of the whole series.
As for whether it is worth it or not, I personally think it is still quite worthwhile, after all, for X5, this is how many people used to dream Car, once a million-level luxury car, a few years ago relying on 2.0T engine to make the price drop a wave, but the starting price is still firm at about 700,000, 700,000 can only buy a version of the pie without any configuration, let people love and hate X5.
Nowadays, after domestic production, it not only reduces the price, but also lengthens the wheelbase and increases the configuration, although there is no imported halo blessing, but let more people own an X5, which is the most important.
And the current 3.0T version of the model, but also added 48V light mix system, the original 3.0T engine to drive X5 is slightly a little big horse-drawn car, coupled with the 48V light mix system for the initial stage of the power support, so that the domestic 3.0T version of X5 in the driving texture level must be better than the imported version of X5, which is not only reflected in horsepower, acceleration time, but the improvement of comprehensive driving texture.
I once heard someone say that once people who want to buy SUV have driven X5, it is difficult to drive other SUVs, if he wants to change cars, there is a high probability that he will change the new X5, or X5M.
Although I am not an X5 owner, but it is true that I have test-driven X5 for a period of time to drive other brands of SUV models, whether the price is expensive or low, I did not drive the X5 calmly, perhaps this is the European in the 90s of the last century after driving the JEEP Grand Cherokee and then opened the first generation of BMW X5 feeling.
But now after the extension will have an impact on bmw X5's excellent dynamic driving texture, can not give a conclusion at present, from a physical point of view, if it is only a simple and rough length, it will definitely affect the overall dynamic performance of the vehicle, but as for BMW engineers can reduce the drawbacks of the extension to how much, it depends on the test drive after the listing to reach a conclusion.
However, at present, it is undeniable that the domestically extended X5, in terms of 100 km acceleration performance, is about half a second slower than the imported version of the same displacement model.
How to choose each configuration of domestic X5?
In addition to the above-mentioned standard configurations in the xDrive 30Li M Sports Suit model, the xDrive 30Li Premium M Sports Suit has increased the price by 30,000 yuan, adding major configurations such as intelligent laser headlights, far and near light automatic control, smart touch key, HUD head-up display, harman/Kardon high-end audio system and so on. You should know that the optional installation of a laser headlight alone is 20,000, which does not include the 15,000 HUD and the small 10,000 yuan Harman Karton.
If you look at it this way, the 30,000 yuan is spent on the real value, if you are still entangled between the two configurations of 30Li, don't hesitate, borrow money to be on the exclusive type!
As for the xDrive 30Li Premium M Sports Suit and xDrive 40Li M Sports Suit, the price difference can be nearly 70,000 yuan, the 3.0T engine + 48V light hybrid powertrain change is the most obvious, in addition to the customized Alcantara ink gray canopy, front comfort seats, four-zone air conditioning, 21-inch wheels, bay-shaped wooden trim and other configurations, basically are dispensable comfort configurations or appearance configurations.
In fact, for the transition from 30Li to 40Li, in general, it is the change between the two sets of powertrains, spending more than 70,000 sets of light mixing system + six-cylinder engine, as to whether it is worth it or not, it is a matter of opinion, after all, some people do not pursue power, just want to comfortably drive a low-fuel consumption car, then the 2.0T X5 can completely meet his requirements, but if there is a pursuit of power, bmw's 3.0T engine will definitely not disappoint you.
If you get to the top of the 40Li Premium M Sport, it's basically all the comforts are full: the starry skylight, rear seat heating, front comfort heating components, autopilot assist system with Giti congestion assisted driving, adaptive air suspension, M sports exhaust, M high performance calipers. Compared with 40Li, the increase in these configurations is definitely worth the difference of 70,000 yuan, but the total price will come to 775,000 yuan.
But even so, it is only 20,000 yuan more expensive than the imported version of X5's 3.0T 40LiM sports suit, and for the prospective owners who are not bad money, the law of true fragrance at the top still exists.
So if the budget is only in the price range of 600,000 yuan, the xDrive 30Li Premium M Sports Suit priced at 634,000 yuan is definitely the most cost-effective model, and if you pursue a large displacement, then the xDrive 40Li M Sports Suit is more recommended than the Premium Edition.
summary
For consumers, the domestic X5 is a further reduction in the distance between it and the former Million Luxury Car, and for the BMW brand, this is another dimensionality reduction blow to GLE and Q7.
Although the domestic X5 is indeed quite good at product strength, but after all, it is also a new model produced in China, its reliability needs to be further verified, but the domestic also means that its second-hand car retention rate is not so high compared to the imported version, so it is a cheap first-hand car price, or a relatively value-preserving second-hand car price, it depends on your own needs.
