[Aika Car Aika Spy Original]
Recently, overseas media took road test spy photos of BMW i5 models. The car will be an all-electric version of the next generation of the 5 Series, with an interior similar to the i7, with a curved design of the dual screen. The new car is expected to be officially unveiled in 2023.
In terms of appearance, although the test vehicle is covered with thick camouflage, the overall outline can still be recognized as a BMW 5 Series model. Compared with the BMW i7, the headlights do not use a split design, and the iconic double kidney grille will continue to be retained, but the front grille size has not been increased, but the shape of the front bumper protrudes outwards, making its front face more three-dimensional.
The overall proportion of the body side is basically the same as that of the current model, but the "electric test car" logo is affixed to the body. In terms of details, the new car will use hidden door handles, and the double five-spoke rim shape is also more sporty. The rear of the car can not see any details, but the tail does not have an exhaust pipe, which still indicates the identity of its electric model.
The camouflage of the interior is also very tight, but it can still be seen that the same double screen as the i7 is used with a curved design, and the shape of the three-spoke steering wheel is also quite similar to that of the i7. In terms of power, there is no more news revealed at present, but foreign media speculate that the M version of the model is likely to be equipped with three motors, and the maximum power is expected to exceed 515kW (700 horsepower).
Editor's comments: The release of the new BMW 7 Series and i7 heralds the prelude to the replacement of BMW's models, and the next generation of 5 Series models seems to have been determined to take the dual route of fuel and pure electricity. Although BMW officials previously said that there is still the potential for continuous development of fuel vehicles, in the context of the era, pure electric models have become the mainstream of the next generation.
