After the release of the new generation of BMW 7 Series, controversy continued, some people believe that it lost the tradition and soul of BMW, and some people regard it as a subversive design, which will play a role in leading the future design direction of BMW. However, judging from the spy photos of BMW's new 5 series exposed a few days ago, although it has a thick camouflage, it is still faintly different from the new generation of 7 series.
The most obvious feature is that the new generation of 7 series new design split light sets, not appearing in the new generation of 5 series, the latter continues the classic angel eye headlight group. At the same time, the double kidney grille also remained at normal size, not as large as the 7 series and 4 series. However, it also has some elements that deviate from traditional design, such as the suspected built-in hidden door handle.
The interior design of the new generation of BMW 5 Series is expected, using a dual screen design with a dashboard size of 12.3 inches and a central control screen size of 14.9 inches, which can refer to the BMW i3/i4 that has been listed so far, as well as the new generation of 7 Series and BMW iX and other models, almost the same style. At the same time, the iDrive 8.0 car machine system will be built-in, which can support 5G technology, OTA upgrades, and functions such as gestures, voice, and touch control.
In terms of power, it is reported that the domestic version of the new generation of 5 series BMW Brilliance will be equipped with a 2.0T engine + 48V light mixing system, and continue the two power specifications of 525Li and 530Li, considering the blessing of the light mixing system, the power data may be slightly improved compared to the current model. In addition, in addition to the conventional fuel-powered specifications, the new generation of the 5 Series is also expected to launch a pure electric version of the i5 on the same platform.
At present, in the luxury C-class car market, BMW 5 Series sales are ahead of the other two old rivals, namely E-class and A6L. In the case of market competition prevailing, the BMW 5 Series is also the first of the three models to expose the replacement model. It can be seen that BMW is riveting enough to stabilize the C-class luxury car segment this time, and take the opportunity to take the lead in replacing the market to further seize market share.
