The new domestic BMW X5 long wheelbase version, first the price is 50,000 to 100,000 yuan lower than the imported version, and then the wheelbase is lengthened by 130mm, which suddenly makes many potential users of the same class of models look over, since the listing on March 31, the attention of this car is quite high.
People are afraid of the heat of famous cars, a hot is easy to make a price increase, especially in the industry general lack of core, superimposed BMW Brilliance factory affected by the epidemic shutdown in the context, the supply is more short. This is not, recently on the Internet rumors, the domestic version of X5 in the market has a price increase, the maximum price increase of 50,000 yuan, then this and the import version of how different? What is the significance of buying domestic production? In the end, how the truth is, we specially went to several dealer stores in Guangzhou to find out. By the way, I also interviewed some BMW owners to see how they were about the mark-up operation.
The product performance is really good
Let's first review the product information of the new car X5, the guidance price is 605,000-775,000 yuan, a total of 4 models in the whole series, providing 2.0T and 3.0T two kinds of power, is the first domestic model in the same level. For reference, the imported version is priced at 699,900 to 839,900 yuan, and the entry-level version is reduced by nearly 100,000 yuan.
In terms of appearance, the overall design of the new car is not much different from the imported version, the main difference is that the car has replaced the chrome trim strips in the details such as the sides of the front surround, but it still provides M sports suits in its entirety. In terms of size data, the length and wheelbase of the new car have increased by 130mm compared with the imported version, the length is 5060mm, and the wheelbase is 3105mm, which is a short board of the improved mouth model and becomes the longest wheelbase model in the same class. For comparison, the Audi Q7 has a wheelbase of 2996mm and the Mercedes-Benz GLE has a wheelbase of 2995mm.
The interior is equipped with crystal electronic gears, crystal multimedia knobs, and crystal one-button start buttons, commonly known as the "crystal three-piece set". The new domestic X5 will add the wheelbase all used in the rear row, the space is significantly improved, the rear seats have also been extended, supporting the 31-degree larger angle of the seat back adjustment function, and the rear headrest has also been replaced with Alcantara material wrapping, and provide seat heating function.
In terms of power, the new car will provide 2.0T and 3.0T two power options, of which the maximum power of the 2.0T four-cylinder engine is 245 horsepower, which is 20 horsepower lower than the imported version; the maximum power of the 3.0T inline six-cylinder engine is 333 horsepower, which is 7 horsepower lower than the imported version, which can complete the 100-kilometer acceleration in 6 seconds.
Which model has the most candidates?
First of all, choose in terms of power, if you are only daily use, then the power of 2.0T can already meet your needs, but if you have a good budget or a higher pursuit of power, then 3.0T is naturally a better choice.
In terms of models, taking the 2.0T model as an example, there are a total of 2 models, although the entry-level model of 605,000 has been equipped with a series of configurations such as front seat heating, wireless charging of mobile phones, 20-inch rims, panoramic sunroof, and comfortable access to 2.0, which has already had a good experience.
Just add 30,000 yuan more, you can get more laser headlights, smart touch keys, Harman/Kardon high-end audio, automatic parking assistance system Plus, HUD head-up display, BMW driving recorder these configurations, according to the low configuration of separate options to calculate, laser headlights 20,000 yuan, sound system 9,000 yuan, this 30,000 yuan plus value.
50,000 markup? There is such a thing
Let's get back to the point and take a look at the timing of several stores in this survey. This time, we are taking the 30i Premium Edition with high attention and priced at 635,000 yuan as a reference, which is basically the same in terms of car prices, mainly in terms of options.
First of all, in the first store, the store currently only has the imported version of the X5 exhibition car, and the domestic version is expected to arrive in the store in early May. From the sales mouth, it was learned that at present, the car does need to be selected, and it was told that the items one, two and three in the selection table are basically mandatory, with a total of 10400 yuan. In other words, the mandatory price increase is 10,000, and the rest is of course the best choice.
Look at the second store, this store also only has an imported version of the X5 exhibition car, this is directly to do a "fixed package" collocation, the price from 13,800 to 28,800 yuan, sales is recommended to choose a package of 16,800 yuan.
It is worth mentioning that the arrival time of the above two stores is basically from the beginning of May to the middle of May, and individual color models can arrive at the end of April, and there is no need for additional mark-ups, as long as you are willing to accept the color of the car.
I thought that the 50,000 markup did not exist, but I did not expect to meet it in the last store. According to sales, at present, the entire X5 series does not have exhibition cars or existing cars, and its Chinese version of the 2.0T model needs to be increased by 30,000, while the 3.0T needs to be increased by 50,000. Unlike the previous two, this store directly gives a fixed amount, and then lets customers choose on the configuration table, in short, you can make up enough to pick up the car.
Looking at the price, there is a big difference between the first two, taking the same BMW driving recorder as an example, the official price of BMW is 2500 yuan, and the list price of this one reaches 5800 yuan, to be honest, I have not seen such a noble recorder on the market at present. In addition, compared with other stores, the fastest arrival time of the store is also in mid-June, and the slowest car with the highest price is highly summarized in two words: bad.
As a car owner, do you think the markup is still worth a little?
In fact, I don't think it is necessary to see the two words "markup" on the line, more need to be rational to look at, from several different aspects, I even think there is some value.
First of all, to raise the price increase, I think it is certainly indispensable to the figure of Xena or Highlander, compared to their pure cash or boutique bags, the domestic version of X5 is mainly in the form of optional boutique to increase the price, BMW is thick. In terms of price, BMW X5 as a landed 700,000 yuan of car, its optional range is basically 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, while Toyota two models as a 300,000 yuan level model, the price increase reached 30,000 to 50,000 yuan, some or pure cash markup.
In addition, in terms of the price of optional boutiques, the domestic X5 options are all officially produced by BMW, taking the driving recorder as an example, the official price of BMW is 2500 yuan, and the selection of cars in some stores is also the same price, even if you buy a model that is staring at high-end points, it will cost more than 2000 prices. And if I remember correctly, Sai Na originally chose to install an electric pedal for 6800 yuan, but the general price outside was only 800 ~ 1200 yuan, and there was a significant gap in a comparison.
Look at the price of the whole car carpet is 1100 yuan, and there is not much gap with your purchase on a treasure. As for the highest price of the sun film, now the outside quality preference is basically 3 to 4 thousand yuan range, you think about it when you drive an X5 to find some is not familiar with the store film, they will give you a low offer?
Secondly, in terms of pick-up time, there is no situation where the more the price increase, the faster the car will be picked up, and the sales will clearly tell you in advance, which cars are in transit, which ones are being produced, and when it is expected to arrive at the store. On the contrary, the previous models of other brands, the price increase of 50,000 a week to lift the car, plus 30,000 a month to lift the car, plus 10,000 three months, such an operation is really inappropriate.
In general, in fact, this price is still reasonable, and there is not much gap with your own purchase outside, which may really be about 1,000 yuan, but now it is all done in a store. For the question of the price increase, I also specifically asked a few BMW owners, in their view, for a car like the X5, the option of 10,000 pieces of things is completely acceptable.
In addition, if you are already a BMW owner, whether you replace or add, you can enjoy 5 years and 100,000 kilometers of free oil maintenance, including oil, filter and man-hour costs, and this also applies to other BMW models.
Imported BMWs are cheaper than domestic ones?
Regarding this question, I also asked about sales, basically there is no such situation, generally only 3 to 5 existing cars. Among them, the first store only has a 2.0T model, and there is indeed a discount, but the discount is only 15,000 yuan. The second store only has a 3.0T model and no offers.
At the same time, in the communication with the sales, it was also learned that the next imported version of the 2.0T model will stop production and receive orders, fully giving way to the domestic version of the model, and the 3.0T model is only receiving a small number of orders, whether it is sales or production are mainly domestic models.
The editor said: In general, there is indeed something wrong with the mandatory selection of the domestic X5, but a careful comprehensive analysis shows that it is still within a reasonable range and can be accepted. As the lowest priced and longest wheelbase model in its class, the party may have to wait for a while. After that, SAIC Audi is about to launch Q6, rounding is also considered to be the domestic version of Q7, under the pressure of two domestic models, I look forward to whether Mercedes-Benz will be domestically produced by GLE, and domestic X5 in such a high heat, can it continue to be the king in the same level?
