Although the BMW 5 Series only completed the mid-term redesign the year before, in essence, the 5 Series of this generation of G chassis is actually some years old, and in the face of the "inner volume" serious domestic C-class car market, its freshness is still slightly insufficient.
However, the spy photos of the new generation of the 5 series have long been exposed overseas, and it is reported that the code name of the new car is G60/G61, and will be officially put into production overseas in July next year. Not long ago, a group of new car road test spy photos broke out on the Internet, although the test car of this road test is still covered with heavy camouflage, but we can still see a lot of clues from it, not to mention! Let's take a look now.
From the picture point of view, the part of the exposure is the side of the new car and the rear part, from the overall outline of the tail, the new car still adopts a relatively calm design, although the too thick camouflage can not see what kind of taillight design the new car will use, but from the perspective of the protruding design through the tail box, the new car will have the opportunity to use the through-type taillight design.
Coming to the side part, the new car, like the current model, also uses a through-line waist line parallel to the window line, but the front of the new waist line extends to the front of the car, making the whole body look more fluid. The iconic Ho-style corners have also been interpreted in a new way, and the tougher lines look more powerful. In addition, and from the picture point of view, the new car will use the new 7 series of embedded door handles, in addition to a stronger sense of the whole, but also make the style of this car more "modern".
(The new generation of BMW 7 series interior) to the interior part, this spy photo once again affirmed the new generation of 5 series Oh will use a through-line dual screen design, it is expected that the overall presentation effect is similar to the new generation of 7 series, and as for whether the through-through crystal atmosphere lamp will be lowered to the 5 series, this will wait for more news to confirm.
However, according to overseas spy photos, the new generation of 5 series will cancel the classic "chicken leg" gear handle, and instead use the same paddle electronic gear shift mechanism as the new 7 series, personally think that this design is probably not as good as the "chicken leg" gear handle, which is a bit of a pity.
In addition, some overseas media have drawn a rendering of the new generation of BMW 5 Series according to spy photos, from this group of pictures, the new car does not use the split headlight design that appears on the new generation of BMW 7 Series flagship models, although the overall shape has converged a lot, but it also effectively reduces unnecessary criticism.
Powerly, if nothing else, the main sales model of the new generation of BMW 5 Series is expected to still be equipped with 2.0T 4-cylinder and 3.0T six-cylinder engines, and match the 48V light hybrid system, and the plug-in hybrid model will not be absent. As for the high-end version of the M5 will still be equipped with 4.4T V8 power? This is subject to more confirmation.
In the past 2021, BMW 5 Series has sold a total of 177,000 new cars, which has undoubtedly become the "number one" in the domestic luxury C-class car market, and now after the replacement of the 5 Series, the products of this car will undoubtedly go to a higher level. And now the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and Audi A6L replacement news has not yet been eyebrows, and the preemptive listing of the new generation of BMW is expected to seize more market share, it can be said that now the pressure has come to this two "German compatriots" here.
