BBA's many blockbuster new cars have been replaced, and the new BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and Audi A4 are here!

2023 is a very happy time for consumers, because there are too many blockbuster new cars coming out this year. We have talked about new cars with a price of more than 100,000 before, and this time we are looking at the level of 300,000-500,000. It just so happens that Audi A4, BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class will usher in a replacement this year, let's take a look!

New BMW 5 Series

Highlights: The pace of electrification has gone further, and the V8 M5 arrives as scheduled

The 5 Series currently on sale was released as early as 2016 and was domestically produced in April 2017. Although its product power is still strong now, and its appearance is higher after the facelift, the veteran is gradually a little powerless in the face of the new forces dancing with demons. So 7 years have passed, and it's almost time to replace the generation. Not long ago, a test car of the new generation of the 5 Series has been photographed in China, and ideally, the domestic version is expected to be unveiled around the middle of 2023.

The chassis code G60 of the new 5 Series is based on the CLAR gasoline-electric compatibility platform, so its electric version of the i5 is also expected to be unveiled at the same time. The appearance is more surprising, judging from the renderings and spy photos, the new 5 series is only refined on the basis of the current model, and does not adopt the same style as the big brother 7 series. Split headlights, giant double lungs did not appear, maybe its aura can not support it.

In terms of interior, he chose to follow the big brother, and judging from the spy photos, the two are only slightly different in the shape of the steering wheel. Under the background of the dual screen, this generation of interior technology is stronger than luxury. And some of the physical buttons of the edge functions have been canceled, and only part of the steering wheel and armrest box area remains. It's a pity that BMW's iconic chicken leg stopper is gone forever.

In terms of power, the new 5 series fuel version has 2.0T+48V, 3.0T+48V, 2.0T plug-in hybrid and other options, it is worth mentioning that the M5 model is still equipped with a 4.4T V8 engine. The pure electric version of the model i5 will provide single-motor rear-drive, dual-motor four-wheel drive and other versions of different power and endurance, both inside and outside, depending on how the new car performs at the software level after the new car comes out.

New Mercedes-Benz E-Class

Highlights: On par with the big brother Mercedes-Benz S-Class, pure electric models may come

BMW 5 Series has opened a new generation, then as an old rival Mercedes-Benz E-class will naturally not lag behind, will launch a replacement model codenamed W214 in 2023. Unlike BMW, the new E-Class is consistent with the design of its big brother S-Class in terms of appearance, but it will be more sporty overall. In addition to the inverted triangle shape, the taillights also include a through-through design.

In the interior part, the new E-class seems to combine the design of the C-class, S-class and EQS, abandoning the multi-screen strategy, and the visual effect is better than the dual screen of Rotten Street. I have to say that in the leading trend, you have to look at Mercedes-Benz, the sense of luxury and technology is very strong, and it is conceivable that a large group of imitators are already on the way.

In terms of power, there is not much news disclosed, and it is expected that the new E-Class will provide 48V mild hybrid systems such as 1.5T and 2.0T, and in order to adapt to the development of the times, plug-in hybrid models will also be available. And there is news that Mercedes-Benz will abandon the EQ series, and future electric vehicles will be launched directly on existing models. Perhaps when it is remodeled in the mid-term, we will be able to see the pure electric version of the Mercedes-Benz E-class.

New Audi A4

Highlights: The exterior design is family-oriented, and the interior is completely renewed

As the third in the BBA camp, Mercedes-Benz BMW has a new car replacement, and Audi does not come to keep up, which seems to be slightly embarrassing. And the Audi A6L of the same level as the E-class and 5 series has not yet arrived, and when you look around, only the A4L meets this time. The current model was released as early as September 2015, and both the exterior and interior are already behind the times, and it is necessary to start the replacement at this time.

In fact, the A4 replacement is also very simple, compared with Mercedes-Benz BMW different models are slightly different, as we all know, Audi cars only have the difference in size and length, and everything else is the same. Therefore, although there are no actual car photos in terms of the appearance of the new car, from the current Audi new car style, everyone also has a good idea.

But Audi is not a doll to the end, and the interior changes are great. And the interior design of other models of the family, although very cool Lambo, has also been out for several years, and consumers have been aesthetically fatigued. So it has been replaced with a set of simple technological design with a new force style, the instrument and central control are two slim large screens, and the four-piece steering wheel is consistent with its own pure electric vehicle.

It is worth mentioning that the new Audi A4 is the last generation of fuel-powered models, in order to implement the brand strategy, 7 years later, it is a pure electric car. The entry-level version will use the 1.5T EA211 Evo2 engine, and the high-power version will be the 2.0T EA888 Evo4 engine, and there will be 48V mild hybrid, plug-in hybrid and other versions. At present, the competition in the automobile market has intensified, and more and more volume kings have poured in, so the release of the new A4 and domestic production will definitely accelerate, and you can wait and see if you like it.

Write at the end

These three models are veterans, both in terms of product power and model influence are very good, it can be said that you can definitely not go wrong with buying them. But now the new forces are menacing, after a while there will be new models rolled to the extreme, the era of BBA firmly sitting on the fishing platform has passed, who is everyone optimistic about in the future, will you choose new forces or hold coins and wait for them to go public?
