We know that BMW has been seeking change in recent years, from the high-end X7 and 7 Series to the low-end X1, etc., have completed the replacement, and the BMW 5 as a B+ class car has also ushered in the latest news from the front! According to the pictures taken by netizens, as well as the news ahead, the 2023 BMW 5 has begun road tests in China, and the new car will be officially listed around July next year.
As can be seen from the renderings of the new BMW 5 Series previously exposed overseas, the changes brought by the new car are still very direct, on the front, the double kidney grille has become short and powerful, the entire grille is inlaid with black trim, and the internal composition adopts a multi-fork layout with a stronger sporty atmosphere. The headlights cancel the traditional tear-eye headlights and adopt a hanging eye shape, that is, the headlights are slightly raised upwards, and the appearance is higher! The addition of the new sports encirclement also plays a finishing touch, and the whole shape is more complex, which is also a test of BMW's design ability!
The new car is still controversial on the side, because the new car cancels the traditional waist line, even if the layout with the waist line only plays an ornamental effect, and the stronger sense of layering in the past has completely disappeared. It is closer to the exposed new Mercedes-Benz E, and even the wheel eyebrows have been replaced with a progressive style, but the addition of the new wheel hub has significantly improved the overall recognition. On the tail, the taillights adopt an opposing L-shaped layout, and the four exhausts from the bilateral double also bring a better sporty atmosphere.
The new BMW 5 Series was developed based on the CLAR platform, so it's not just a change in appearance, it's also in the interior! If you know more about the new BMW 7, then this car will not bring strange feelings, in fact, it is very similar to the structure of the 7 series, but the difference is that the 5 series adopts an LCD instrument with curvature, which is also the difference of the new car. The traditional crystal gear rod has also been officially abolished, replaced by a paddle-type electronic gear lever, and the integration of more physical buttons in the LCD screen, the entire scientific and technological elements are still relatively direct.
The picture above is the 2023 BMW 5 in the domestic road attempt, so it can be inferred that the new car is one step closer to the time of listing! Finally, looking at the power performance, the new generation of BMW 5 Series will have the traditional fuel-powered version, plug-in hybrid version and pure electric i5 version of the model, but also will continue to launch a high-performance M5 model with a V8 engine version, the new generation of BMW 5 Series is expected to debut in the world in early 2023, the listing time is about July next year!
