At the tail end of March, the much-anticipated domestic BMW X5 is finally on the market! The domestic X5 launched a total of 4 configurations, the price range of 60.50-775,000 yuan, compared with the import version of the model 69.99-83.99 million price range, the starting price of the domestic X5 is close to 100,000 pieces cheaper! More importantly, the domestic X5 has lengthened the wheelbase by 13cm, and the chassis code has changed from the imported G05 to the G18.
As can be seen from the above table, the entire series of domestic BMW X5 adopts the appearance design of M sports suits, providing two 2.0T and two 3.0T power. Among them, the 2.0T high-end model is the most worth buying, but the lowest and top models are also good and worthy of recommendation. In contrast, the imported version of the X5 is not so cost-effective, because each model of the imported X5 is lower in price than the domestic version. Let's analyze in detail the configuration differences and cost performance ratio between the various versions of the domestic X5.
Since the domestic BMW X5 has completed the declaration of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology as early as last December, the official release of the official map of the vehicle on March 1 this year, I believe that everyone has a certain understanding of its shape design. To put it simply, the domestic X5 is not much different from the imported version in terms of overall shape, and the whole series is equipped with M sports suits as standard, and the front surround adds L-shaped chrome decorative strips. The rear of the car is also a solid and thick style, and the logo of "BMW Brilliance" in the lower left corner of the tailgate reflects its localization identity.
Compared with the front face and tail, the biggest change in the domestic X5 is the side of the car. Because the wheelbase of the vehicle has been lengthened by 13cm, the length of the vehicle has also been extended by 13cm relative to the imported version, which makes the wheelbase of the domestic X5 directly reach the exact same level as its own big brother BMW X7, far exceeding the same level of competitor Mercedes-Benz GLE. However, in terms of body width and height, the Mercedes-Benz GLE is still larger. Many people are worried that a sharp length of 13cm will lead to visual imbalance on the side of the vehicle, but from the perspective of real cars, the extended X5 does not have the discordant feeling of the previous lengthened 3 series. This is mainly because the length of the X5 itself has exceeded 4.9 meters, and the proportion of the length of 13cm relative to the body is not large, so it still looks relatively harmonious.
In terms of body color matching, the domestic X5 provides a total of 6 colors, and none of them need to add money to choose. The main color of BMW Brilliance is mysterious gray, and the whole car looks relatively low-key; and the classic white of BMW X5 is still a good choice, as for other colors, it depends on personal taste.
In terms of rim matching, the domestic X5 provides 5 kinds of rim designs, and the size includes 20, 21, 22 inches three specifications. Among them, the 2.0T model comes standard with a 20-inch rim, and the 3.0T model comes standard with a 21-inch rim, and both can be equipped with a larger version.
In terms of interior design, the domestic X5 basically continues the overall style of the imported version, the shape is relatively fashionable, and it also retains a large number of physical buttons and knobs to enhance practicality.
In terms of interior color matching, the domestic X5 provides 4 color combinations. Among them, the first two [volcanic red] and [mocha color] are standard, and there is no need to add money to choose. If you want to double spell red and black and mocha ivory double spelling, you need to add 2,000 yuan to choose. In addition, the leather of the domestic X5 is all synthetic materials, and no real leather is used.
In terms of central control trim panels, the 2.0T model is standard with the dark gray/brown poplar wood trim board on the far left of the picture above, and the 3.0T model can be freely equipped with the bay-shaped high-grade wood trim board on the left 2 of the picture above. The two trim panels on the right side of the above figure need to be selected for 3000 yuan and 4900 yuan respectively.
In terms of details, the domestic X5 has made some changes. For example, the multi-function buttons of the steering wheel have been replaced with silver metal buttons that look more delicate, while the imported version is a black plastic button.
In addition, in the design of the cup holder and storage compartment in front of the block, the wireless charging plate of the imported version of the model is placed in front of the cup holder, which will cause it to be particularly inconvenient to take the front of the hand after putting the cup. The domestic version cancels the original concave cover plate storage slot, and the mobile phone wireless charging board is independently designed, and the right side is the cup holder, which greatly improves the convenience of use in this area.
Of course, the biggest improvement of the domestic X5 is still the rear row, after all, the extended 13cm wheelbase all gives the rear space. You know, the rear space of the imported standard axis X5 is very cramped, and the passenger with a height of 180cm is basically only more than 1 punch. After lengthening by 13cm, the legroom can reach the level of 2 and a half punches, which is quite spacious. In addition, the problem that the backrest angle of the previous imported version of X5 was criticized as too straight has also been solved, and the angle of the domestic X5 rear backrest has been adjusted from 27 degrees to 31 degrees of the imported version, and the sitting posture is more relaxed. At the same time, the seats of the domestic X5 have also become softer, and the angle of the rear seat cushions has been slightly raised, and the support for the front of the thighs is more in place.
In terms of power, the domestic X5 provides two sets of power systems of 2.0T and 3.0T+48V, and the parameter level is slightly lower than that of the imported version, and because the vehicle is heavier after lengthening, the acceleration performance is slightly slower than the imported version. But despite this, even for the 2.0T model, the 0-100km/h acceleration of 7.3 seconds is enough for most users. It is worth mentioning that although the domestic X5 has accelerated slightly slower, the fuel consumption is also lower than that of the imported version. It should be known that the fuel consumption of imported 2.0T models under NEDC conditions has reached 9.1L/100km, while the domestic X5 2.0T models have dropped to 8.9L/100km under more stringent WLC conditions, so in actual use, domestic X5 will also be more fuel-efficient.
After a brief chat about the design and hardware specifications of the domestic X5, let's take a look at the configuration and cost performance of the domestic X5!
First of all, let's take a look at the 30Li M sports suit model with a price of 605,000 yuan and the lowest configuration in the series. As the lowest model in the series, the standard configuration of the domestic X5 is not low at all!
For example, in terms of comfort configuration, the X5's main passenger seat supports 12-way electric adjustment, and comes standard with main driver's seat memory, steering wheel electric adjustment and position memory, front seat heating, 12-speaker HARMAN Carlton audio, dual-temperature zone automatic air conditioning, car air purifier, multi-color mood lights, panoramic sunroof and other configurations. Both ride comfort and audiovisual enjoyment are in place.
In terms of technology and convenience configuration, X5 is equipped with 12.3-inch full LCD instrument, 12.3-inch iDrive central control screen, wireless Carplay, mobile phone wireless charging, remote start, electric memory tailgate, reversing image, automatic parking, trail reversing and other functions, to meet the daily use of no problem at all.
At the level of safety configuration, the X5 is also equipped with active braking, parallel line assistance, driver fatigue monitoring, digital tire pressure monitoring, front and rear radar, road traffic sign identification, 6 airbag air curtains, LED headlights with turning headlights and other configurations as standard, and the basic safety is very in place. To say that the regret of the place, I am afraid that there is no driving assistance, this needs to add 16,000 yuan optional. It can be said that the basic configuration of the domestic X5 is very sincere, if the budget card is relatively dead, then the lowest model priced at 605,000 is completely worth buying, and the comprehensive recommendation index is 4 stars!
Adding 30,000 yuan to the minimum model will be able to upgrade to the 30Li Premium M sports suit priced at 635,000 yuan, which belongs to the 2.0T high-end model. In terms of configuration, the 30,000 yuan in exchange for a good configuration is also a solid and good configuration.
For example, the 360-degree panoramic imaging system is very practical for X5 cars with a length of nearly 5.1 meters and a width of more than 2 meters, which can minimize the blind spot of the driver's vision and avoid accidents such as scratching. And friends who have used BMW panoramic images should know that both the clarity and the flexibility of the viewing angle are very excellent, and the driver can adjust the display angle of the vehicle image system at will, which is very convenient.
Another very useful configuration is BMW's HUD head-up display system, the display effect is very clear, and the function is very rich, not only can display the vehicle speed, speed and other information, but also the navigation system route and map can be projected to the HUD, but also can be recognized speed limit information displayed to the driver. With the HUD, the frequency of looking down at the instrument will be greatly reduced, and it can also improve safety to a certain extent.
Laser headlights are very practical for users who often drive at night, adjust the headlights to automatic high beam mode, the vehicle will automatically open the laser high beam according to the light situation recognized by the sensor, the illumination distance is up to 500 meters, and the penetration is very strong.
As for the LCD key, this is a BMW traditional showmanship configuration, which can not only control the vehicle unlocking, air conditioning and other functions on the key, but also check the vehicle status at any time, which is very easy to use. And the scientific and technological attributes of this thing are too strong, and the old classmates party took it out and put it on the table, which is quite faceless.
Here may wish to give you a simple account, laser headlights optional price of 20,000 yuan, LCD key 3500, panoramic image 6500, just to choose these three configurations need 30,000 pieces. The remaining built-in driving recorder (2000 yuan), 16-speaker Harman Caton audio (9000 yuan), adaptive far and near light (2500 yuan), and HUD head-up display (15700 yuan), the total price is close to 30,000 pieces equivalent to free gifts. Therefore, the domestic X5 we most recommend to buy 635,000 yuan of 30Li premium M sports suit, comprehensive recommendation index 5 stars!
If you want more surging power, on the basis of the price of the 2.0T high-end model, you can upgrade to the 40Li M sports suit, which is a 3.0T low-end model, priced at 705,000 yuan.
The most direct improvement of the difference of up to 70,000 yuan is naturally the power, 3.0T straight six engine, with a 48V light mixing system, the maximum power is 333 horsepower, the maximum torque is 450N·m, and the acceleration of 0-100km/h is increased from 7.3 seconds of 2.0T to 6 seconds, which is more than 1 second faster.
But in addition to the power, the configuration improvement of this version in other aspects is not obvious. Front seat ventilation looks like a more practical configuration, but friends who have really used BMW seat ventilation should know that BMW's seat ventilation effect is actually very general, even in the hot summer, the seat will not have a cold and comfortable feeling. Overall, the main improvement of the 3.0T low-end model is the engine, but considering that the 2.0T version of the power is already enough, and the 70,000 yuan is not much improved in the configuration, so this version we only recommend to users with a sufficient budget and want 3.0T to buy, the comprehensive recommendation index is 3 stars.
Finally, the top of the series, the 40Li Premium M Sports Suit priced at 775,000 yuan, is 70,000 yuan more expensive than the 3.0T low-end model. As the top model of the car series, the difference of 70,000 yuan can buy some configurations that can enhance the detailed experience.
For example, the top model is equipped with an adaptive air suspension with adjustable soft and hard height as standard, which can adjust the height and hardness of the suspension according to different driving modes. For example, in off-road conditions, the air suspension will raise the body and increase the hardness to ensure ground clearance and reduce vehicle roll. In Comfort mode, it is at a relatively centered height and makes the suspension softer. In Sport mode, the height of the vehicle will be reduced, the suspension hardness will be increased, and the vehicle will be more stable and faster.
In addition, the top X5 is also equipped with a skylight roof. However, BMW's starry sky roof does not use a point light source to light the roof like Rolls-Royce, but buries a large number of reflective points in the glass of the panoramic sunroof, and illuminates the reflective points through the ambient lights around the skylight, creating a visual effect of stars at night.
In addition, the top model also provides M sports exhaust, as well as blue M sports calipers, which have a certain improvement in the sporty atmosphere of the vehicle and the braking performance during intense driving. But to be honest, since they have purchased the domestic long axis X5, it is natural to use comfortable home as the main purpose, and this kind of sporty configuration is of little significance.
To say that the comfort configuration, the steering wheel heating and rear seat heating of the top model are actually more practical configurations, especially for northern users. And BMW's heating system is not only the seat and steering wheel, but also heats the door panel armrest and the central armrest area, so that in the winter, even the arm position is warm.
Finally, the most core configuration of the top model is the automatic driving auxiliary Pro. BMW's set of driving aids can be said to be well-known, whether it is stability, or the ability to identify road markings and road conditions ahead is first-class. And when the speed is less than 60km/h and the vehicle is in congested road conditions, the congestion assistance system can be automatically activated, at which time the vehicle can achieve full automatic driving, and even at the technical level, there is no need for a hand-held steering wheel (regulations do not allow this, the function can be achieved, but everyone should not do this).
In general, the configuration of the top model does have its own unique features, for example, the air suspension is exclusive to the top, and other configurations are not even eligible for optional installation. Therefore, if you have a good budget, want everything, and don't want to bother to study the optional configuration, then directly buy the top match of 775,000 yuan in one step, and the comprehensive recommendation index is 4 stars!
When it comes to optional configurations, the domestic X5 also provides dozens of optional configurations to choose from, and some optional packages cannot be selected at the same time, and the logic is quite complicated. Due to the limited space of this article, we will not analyze it in detail here. If you want to start with the domestic X5, and are more concerned about the optional configuration, it is still recommended that you go directly to the 4S store to find a reliable sales to study carefully, or go to the BMW official website to use their configuration tools to simulate the optional collocation.
After talking about the domestic X5's own product strength and configuration performance, let's talk about its competitors next. In fact, with the domestic X5 official starting price of 600,000, the domestic luxury medium and large SUV of the same price is actually not much competition. Because the two old rivals of Audi Q7 and Mercedes-Benz GLE are about 100,000 yuan more expensive than the domestic X5. More importantly, the previous imported standard shaft X5 can suppress the other two opponents in terms of sales, and now the cheaper, larger and higher-equipped domestic models are not what they can compete.
In the same domestic luxury medium and large SUV, the Lincoln Aviator is barely an opponent, after all, both are close to the level of 5.1 meters in size, and they are also rear-drive platforms. The advantage of the Lincoln Aviator is that the entire series is equipped with a 3.0T V6 engine as standard, and the starting price is only 509,800, which is more cost-effective. The advantage of the BMW X5 is that it has a large 5-seat space, the second row is more spacious, and the brand, popularity and other aspects are far superior to Lincoln.
In fact, rather than saying that the competitors of the domestic X5 are other brands, it is better to say that its competitors are standard shaft import X5... I believe that in the future, many prospective car owners will struggle with whether to buy a domestic version or an imported version when buying a car. First of all, will the quality of the imported version be better than the domestic version? We don't think so. Because the imported version of the X5 is not a "German craft", but an American-made model. How rough the assembly process of American workers is, I believe everyone has heard about it. It can even be boldly guessed that the assembly process of the domestic X5 will most likely be better than the imported version, and we must have confidence in our domestic workers. More importantly, the domestic X5 is priced nearly 100,000 pieces cheaper, the size is larger, and the rear space has the advantage of crushing.
In terms of configuration, we take the domestic minimum and imported minimum allocation here to make a comparison, it can be seen that the domestic version of the model is cheaper than 100,000 yuan at the same time, the configuration is more advanced. And don't forget, the rear space of the domestic version of the model, as well as the seat comfort have obvious advantages over the imported version. Therefore, unless you are to pursue a niche unique feeling, bent on determining that non-imported standard shafts are not bought, otherwise after the domestic model is listed, there is really no reason to choose the standard shaft X5 produced in the United States.
Finally, let's talk about whether the pricing of the domestic X5 is reasonable. Taking the 2.0T low-end model as an example, the imported version is priced at 699,900 yuan, including a 15% tariff on imported cars and a 5% consumption tax based on 2.0L displacement, which are not required to be paid by domestic cars. In other words, if only these two taxes and fees are removed, the price of the vehicle should be about 560,000.
In contrast, the domestic X5 is priced at 605,000 yuan, which is more than 40,000 yuan more expensive than the theoretical duty-free price. But this 40,000-plus difference, you are in exchange for a large increase in rear space, more comfortable seats, richer configuration, is completely cost-effective. More importantly, after the X5 is domestically produced, the future maintenance cost is bound to be lower than that of the pure import stage, and the cost of long-term use also has certain advantages. Therefore, the official starting price of domestic X5 605,000 yuan is very reasonable, but if the future can give tens of thousands of concessions at the terminal, almost 600,000 can land, it is almost invincible!
Do you think the domestic X5 will become a hit?
