The news of the BMW X5 domestic production is exciting, which shows that the new BMW X5 has a lower threshold and a lower cost of using the car will become a reality. Although the starting price of 605,000 is a bit disappointing, after comparing the old rival Audi Q7, you will know whether the new domestic X5 is worth choosing.
Appearance: X5 takes into account both luxury and sports, Q7 pays attention to the creation of a sense of technology
The BMW brand is positioned as a luxury sports brand, so in terms of exterior design, the BMW X5 has more sporty design details and has also won it a lot of fans.
The exterior design of the new BMW X5 continues the BMW family design style, and the interior and surrounding of the double kidney grille are decorated with chrome, which is a good display of luxury in the sporty design. The design of the lower bumper is also very strong, the ACC car system radar is hidden in it, and the aerodynamic bargaining on the left and right sides is decorated with chrome, which is very good visually.
The front design of the Audi Q7 has changed greatly, and the interior and surrounding of the hexagonal mesh are decorated with chrome trim strips to create a strong sense of luxury. The front lip extends to the left and both sides to the air intake hole, which is connected to the chrome decoration inside the air intake hole, and the overall design is well connected.
The new BMW X5 is paired with "Angel's Eye" laser headlights, and the blue decoration inside the headlights is its representative. The original glowing headlights added a hint of ferocious murderousness. BMW's "Angel's Eye" laser headlights can illuminate the road 400m ahead in good weather conditions at night, which can be said to be like day.
Audi is known as the "light factory", and it has been able to continue this advantage in the Q7. The Q7 headlights have a strong sense of design, the daytime running lights are integrated into the interior of the headlights, and the matrix-type daytime running lights are highly recognizable. In addition, in the entry-level version of the Q7, it is equipped with matrix headlights, headlights rain and fog mode and other practical equipment, and Audi has played the lights to the extreme.
The new BMW X5 has a very coordinated body side ratio, the waist line has an upward angle in the rear door handle position, creating a strong sense of movement, the crease under the door panel is integrated with the air hole decoration on the front fender, and the design details are handled very well. The five-panel wheels add an aerodynamic design and the blue calipers highlight athletic prowess.
The Body Side Lines of the Audi Q7 are slender, and the through-line waistline design is very powerful. The same five-frame wheel hub design is very chic, and the red brake calipers create a strong sense of sport. The distance between the C and D columns of the Q7 is slightly longer, and the visual effect is somewhat incongruous.
The rear design of the new BMW X5 is still very full, and the tailgate design that is opened in two sections is retained, making it easier to get things. The taillights are very chic and recognizable. The layout of the shark fin antenna above the roof and the bilateral single exhaust design below highlight the strength of performance.
The biggest design highlight of the rear of audi Q7 is still the design of the tail light, the matrix tail light design is extremely recognizable, the shape is close to the shape of the daily running light, the chrome trim runs through the left and right, and the sense of luxury is created more strongly. The roof is also laid out with shark fin antennas, and the lower part is also designed with bilateral single-out exhausts.
Editor's summary: The exterior design of the two cars has different emphases, and the BMW X5 has a lot of luxurious design elements mixed in the sporty design. Although the Audi Q7 is trying to create a sense of movement, it still lacks some heat on the whole.
Interior: The sense of technology that originally belonged to Q7 was won by X5
After the BMW X5 was domestically produced, there were relatively big changes in the interior design, especially in the creation of a sense of technology, and the new BMW X5 subverted your cognition.
Sitting in the car of the new BMW X5, a strong sense of technology comes to you. The size of the central control screen has been further increased, the full LCD instrument has also become the standard equipment, the display effect of the two screens is very clear, more importantly, the UI design of the new BMW X5 is based on black, full of technology, coupled with the BMW i-Drive car engine system, making the whole set of interior design of the sense of science and technology to enhance a grade.
In addition, the steering wheel of the new BMW X5 feels good, and the multi-function buttons use metallic decoration to create a strong sense of luxury. The design of the crystal electronic file handle is full of sense, highlighting the noble and luxurious temperament. The center console and gear handles are also decorated with wood grain panels around it, further highlighting the temperament that BMW X5 should have as a luxury brand.
The interior design of Audi Q7 is much more ordinary than the new BMW X5, and the full LCD instrument is also matched, but the plastic border on the left and right sides is too large, affecting the design texture of the entire lcd instrument. The size of the central control screen is not large, and the seat-related control and air conditioning control are integrated in a capacitive touch screen, but the creation of a sense of technology does not reflect the audi's skills.
The steering wheel of the Audi Q7 has a general design, and the ACC adaptive cruise combo button is hidden behind the steering wheel and needs to adapt for a while to be completely handy. The electronic gear handle that combines leather and metal is one of the highlights of Audi's interior design, the gear handle design is very textured, and the grip is excellent.
Editor's summary: Audi's interior design has always been known for its sense of technology, but compared with the new BMW X5, the interior design of audi Q7 does not show a strong sense of technology. In contrast, the interior design of the new BMW X5 has a high resolution on the screen, a clear display effect, a cool UI design, and a strong sense of technology. In addition, the steering wheel and crystal gear design of the new X5 bring the luxurious feel of the entire new BMW X5 interior design to the peak.
Space: There is not much difference in space comparison, and the X5 is slightly ahead
The 40i on the rear of the new BMW X5 has now become 40Li, which means that the new BMW X5 has further increased the rear wheelbase of the domestic production, and also brought better space performance to the BMW X5.
The new BMW X5 is positioned as a medium and large SUV, and its body size is 5060*2004*1779mm and wheelbase is 3105mm. The wheelbase of the new BMW X5 has been further increased, already more than 3m, which is also reflected in the space performance, the X5 has more space to ride, especially the rear space, which is very sufficient.
Audi Q7 is also positioned as a medium and large SUV, and its body size is 5067*1970*1731mm wheelbase 2996mm. The 55TFSI model has a body height of 1712mm and a wheelbase of 2999mm. The entry-level version of the Q7 model is equipped with a seven-seat layout of 2-3-2, in order to ensure the space of the third row of seats, so it sacrifices a part of the space of the second row of seats, so the overall experience, the space of the Q7 is not as good as the space performance of the new BMW X5.
Editor's summary: The positioning of the two cars is the same, but in terms of space, the BMW X5 is better, with a spacious rear space, wide and comfortable. The Audi Q7 sacrifices a lot of second row space in order to be able to sit in the third row of seats, and the overall performance is not as good as the X5, but it is more practical.
Power: All are the best in the same class, and the driving experience X5 is even better
As the flagship SUV model of the luxury brand, the power performance of the two cars is a very good representative. Moreover, the two models are invariably equipped with 2.0T and 3.0T engines, but the engine cylinder arrangement is slightly different.
The new BMW X5 is equipped with 2.0T and 3.0T inline 6-cylinder engines, of which the 2.0T engine has a maximum horsepower of 245 Ps and a maximum torque of 400 Nm, while the 3.0T inline 6-cylinder engine has a maximum horsepower of 333 Ps and a maximum torque of 450 Nm, all with an 8AT transmission. The 3.0T inline 6-cylinder engine +8AT is BMW's most representative powertrain, with a fast initial acceleration, smart coordination with the transmission, and smooth gear changes, which are the advantages of the new BMW X5.
The Audi Q7 is also equipped with two sets of powertrains, 2.0T and 3.0T, of which the 2.0T engine has a maximum horsepower of 245Ps and a peak torque of 370Nm. The 3.0T engine adopts V6 cylinder arrangement, with a maximum horsepower of 340Ps and a peak torque of 500 Nm, and is equipped with an 8AT gearbox. But the lack of volkswagen DSG Q7, it seems to lack some of the original charm, no matter what, the 3.0T big V6 is still very luxurious flagship SUV temperament.
Editor's summary: Although the two cars are equipped with the same displacement powertrain, there is a big difference in the layout of the engine cylinders. In addition, during our test drive, we were impressed by the smoothness of the SHIFT and the acceleration of the first stage. Overall performance is better than the Audi Q7.
Cost-effective: The domestic X5 configuration is more practical, and the cost performance far exceeds the Audi Q7
In terms of cost performance, we selected the most popular entry-level models of the two cars for comparison: BMW X5 2022 xDrive 30Li M Sport Edition (guide price: 605,000) and Audi Q7 2022 45 TFSI quattro S-Line Sport (guide price: 701,800).
Through the configuration comparison, it is not difficult to find that the new BMW X5 has undergone a very large upgrade in terms of configuration after domestic production, and there are many more practical configurations compared to the Q7, such as tires for air deficiency (explosion-proof tires), parallel assist, lane departure warning system, road traffic sign recognition, reversing side warning system, variable steering ratio, remote start function, steering wheel memory function, OTA upgrade, Harman Kardon audio and other configurations.
In particular, the combination of intelligent driver assistance systems and HARMAN Kardon audio, even if it is an entry-level model, also gives everyone, which allows consumers to see bmw's sincerity.
The Audi Q7 has obvious advantages over the new BMW X5 in terms of lighting configuration, such as matrix LED headlights, adaptive near and far lights, steering headlights, headlights rain and fog mode, headlight cleaning, touch reading lights and so on. Audi is really worthy of the "lamp factory", the light combination of this piece, the temperament is relatively in place.
Editor's summary: The difference in the configuration of the two cars is more obvious, audi Q7 has advantages in lighting configuration, but the configuration of the new BMW X5 entry-level model brings everyone full of sincerity, intelligent driver assistance system and HARMAN Karton audio These configurations seem to rarely appear on the entry-level model. More importantly, the guidance price of the new BMW X5 is nearly 100,000 yuan lower than that of the Audi Q7, so the new BMW X5 is more cost-effective.
Written in the end: the new BMW X5 compared to the Audi Q7 advantage is more obvious, the appearance and interior design of the new BMW X5 is more luxurious, especially the interior design also shows a strong sense of science and technology, the space comparison is not much different, the new BMW X5 power dynamic driving experience is more smooth, the initial power is more rapid.

In addition, the price of the domestic X5 in some accessories will be further reduced, so the cost of the car will be reduced accordingly. In this way, the domestic road of Audi Q7 and Mercedes-Benz GLE should not be too far.
