BMW's new 318i Luxury long-term test drive experience report

The headlights are equipped with LED lamps with active steering functions, whether in urban areas, rural areas, with light or without light, the brightness is enough, and the active steering function also allows it to always illuminate the direction that the driver wants to go. But it is worth mentioning that this set of lamps is not equipped with AHB active high beams, which is a pity. In order to run a better fuel consumption performance, most of the cars are equipped with AGS variable suction system, or active suction grille, the B18Sentra that was test-driven last time, and the BMW 318i this time is naturally no exception.

The F1A3 with a tire size of 225/50R17 originally fitted with Goodyear, with my own experience, I personally feel that the F1A3 is more balanced than the F1A5. The size of the 225/50R17 looks smaller with the eyes of the current new car, but I think the 17 inches is better than the current 18 and 19 inches, and can take into account a certain driving, why not enjoy it? Although the power of the 318i is only 156hp/25.5kgm, the original factory still gave the double out of the tail section, and there will be a little cannon when starting, probably the original factory thinks that it has lost the lizi, can not lose face... not... No La XD. In addition, after I have seen so many new generations of BMW design language on the road, I think this set of taillights is the most balanced and good-looking on the top of the 3 series.

Not surprisingly, I want to take you to see the engine room Luo! It's really just a matter of looking. This engine is a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder turbocharged form, the operation is very delicate, the noise is also very small, coupled with the 8-speed manual transmission, as long as the throttle is not deep, giving people the feeling of opening a shop. However, the power of 156 horses can only be said to be a coach who does not open fast, and it is not very good to compete with some Specs that are very slow. What surprised me was to see Denso on European cars, and I thought that European cars preferred to wear Bosch or Continental. Blistering was noticed in the right front suspension tower, but the appearance of the paint and the quality of the assembly everywhere were quite good.

The overall central control layout is slightly closer to the driver, but it will not lean too much like some cars, disguised to give the driver pressure. The texture in the details is also not sloppy, black wood grain trim panels, aluminum alloy trim and buttons, skin-friendly material button touch, whether visual or tactile is a superior enjoyment. What is more special is that the engine start button is placed on the left side of the gear lever, and it is rare to see it placed there. BMW is more criticized for still using the real round steering wheel for users, I think it is not so good visually, but... It's actually the same every day. The left button controls the ADAS mode, distance, and speed; the right control is the volume, media, and voice control, although there are many buttons, but the functionality is really very small.

The partial recognition of voice control is quite OK, and the commands that can be issued are also quite large, but occasionally there will be recognition errors. The left front of the driver's seat is the control button of the headlight system, the function looks like a lot, but when it is launched, there are actually many buttons that are limited and do not switch to the driver, probably very confident in the logic of their own headlight action! In addition, it can also be noted that there is an atmosphere light bar under the air conditioner outlet. What impressed me the most about this test drive was this handle, which had a great sense of combat when opening the door. Although! Although the van is also made with this shape of XD... But all in all, the aluminum alloy buttons not only make the vision more colorful, but also feel very textured!

The driver's seat has eight-way electric adjustment and four-way electric waist rest, which can be leaned against your comfort point at any time. Next to the double yellow button is the active safety protection system shortcut, above which is the air-conditioning panel, and below is the media panel that is almost useless to me except for the volume knob and the upper and lower hand. The biggest failure of the center console is this space is ultra-small and poorly designed storage space, as shown in the picture, the mobile phone in the picture is an i8Plus, its width is just right, the depth is only a little more than the phone itself, because of the relationship between the trim panels, the height is very insufficient, so what can be put here?

In addition, the only USBA, 12V power socket in the car is actually between two cup holders with clamping function, imagine if the water droplets on the wall of the drink are dripping in...? The last cup holder is not large, if you often drink fat cups or fresh house cartons, you may have to change your drink habits. The most enviable thing about the new generation of BMWs is their digital instrument, the switching animation is smooth and neat, the color matching and display mode movement is very diverse, and every time you get on the car, you feel full of ritual. The built-in navigation map even has a database of speed photos, can you say this is not easy to use? If you don't want to be cluttered, you can also turn on the simple mode, but only if you have a way to find the option XD in the car first

The multimedia display in the middle has unlimited Apple CarPlay like the Sentra in the last test drive, but the difference is that it is very stable and there is no disconnection at all. And the multimedia display itself I will not dwell on, put a picture to let everyone know that it has a very good sports car style interface, because its UI is beautiful, but very complex and difficult to use. The space inside the handrail is not large, containing a USBC charging hole, the armrest cover itself is a two-stage type, with a spring, it will open to about 80 degrees, and then you can pull back a section to achieve 90 degrees full opening. Both the driver and the co-pilot's makeup mirror are equipped with warm yellow lighting, but the years are quiet, and the mirror surface is slightly smaller.

Although the rear seat is not much space, the cup holder that should be given will not be less, and it has the same clamping function. Equipped with three-zone thermostatic air conditioning and two USBC charging holes, it is basically useless for me, and the lines on hand are still USBA. In the beginning, my friend and I tried several times to kick the inductive electric tailgate.

But there is no way to trigger smoothly, and then the friend pretends to hold something in his hand, sweeps it, and succeeds, so people who want to trigger success may wish to try this trick. The rear compartment space is actually not too big, and the depth is just two 15-inch laptop backpacks. However, it is hollowed out next to the arcs on both sides to gain more storage space. The groove on the left is large enough to fit a raincoat or shopping bag, toilet paper, etc

The right side is smaller, and the original factory has placed a medical kit here, and the remaining space can be stuffed with some pocket wrap paper. The suitcase is convenient with a one-key dumping back seat function. When the time comes to the evening, the atmosphere lights of this car are really beautiful, although there are not many color options, but you can always feel the beauty of its technology.

When the door opens, it turns into a flashing red light to provide a warning, although the brightness is not very bright, but it is better than nothing. Not only that, but at night, wing-shaped illumination lamps will also be lit on the ground, and there are indirect lights on the doorknobs. The plant space on the door panel is huge, but it still can't make up for the tragic space configuration of the middle ship. There are also atmosphere lights in the back seat, and there is no different tune with you!

It also has a very lazy way to get on/unlock, but if you pass the vehicle very often, or when the vehicle is parked relatively close to you, it is recommended not to turn on this function, because you have already passed it on, lock it as soon as you leave it, and turn on the switch to consume a lot of batteries. The fuel consumption part, the first barrel of oil forgot to shoot, but the high-speed / urban ratio of 46 ran a total of 546.6 kilometers, adding 55.52 kilometers of gasoline, the average fuel consumption is 9.84km / L.

Before returning the car, I added oil again, the high-speed / urban ratio ran 275.8 kilometers for 91, added 21.1 liters of gasoline, the average fuel consumption was 13.07km / L, the performance I think are within the acceptable range, after all, my first barrel of oil idle time is longer, the second barrel is not very smooth.

I think double B is like this, than the standard table is definitely better than the localization car, not to mention the value bowl, but the software level and its added value (brand aura, sense of ceremony, system fluency, etc.) is to allow you to drive very balanced, these are localized cars are difficult to achieve, even if not achieved, it will only be one or two of them.

Whether it is the current hot selling of the United States, Japan, or the unpopular Taiwan, Korean, more or less have some obvious visible, feelable shortcomings, double B I dare not say absolutely nothing, but at least there will be no major deficiencies that can be found as soon as you get on the car, I think this is where its value lies.

In short, it is the power of money, and Pocket McCord naturally has the ability to choose better and more comfortable models. Finally, I secretly shared a message with you, that is, be sure to drive this car according to the speed of the meter, because it is not watering with you.

This time the sharing is a bit hasty, because of the relationship between accidental A and the need to return the car in advance, the material taken in those days is not very enough, but thank you for watching! I hope you all have a good day, drive carefully, don't drive like me to hit the blind corner of the line of sight, and safety comes first.
