The new BMW 5 Series looks like this! Mercedes E next door is going to laugh?
Recently, the editor of Zhilu Auto obtained a set of test spy photos of the new generation of domestic BMW 5 Series, and it can be seen from the picture that the domestic BMW 5 Series (G68) adopts a long wheelbase design. Compared with the standard axle version (G60) that has just appeared overseas, the size is significantly larger, and the appearance of Xiaobian guesses that it should be basically the same as the imported version of the model, you can refer to the design of the overseas version of the model. Let's take a brief look at this new car!
According to Xiaobian, the new generation of BMW 5 Series domestic long-axle version of the model, which is currently in the application stage, will soon appear in the latest batch of new car patent application directory of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and this car will also be unveiled at the end of this year, officially put into production in the first quarter of 2024, and completed on the market. So if you want to change cars, you may wish to wait.
Of course, everyone is most concerned about the selling point of the domestic version of the model is its size, and the domestic long-axle version of the BMW 5 Series will increase by 133mm on the basis of the 2995mm wheelbase of the imported standard axle version model. That is to say, the wheelbase of the domestic long-axle version of the model reaches 3128mm, and compared with the 3094mm wheelbase of the new generation of long-axle version Mercedes-Benz E-class, the wheelbase of the domestic long-axle version of the 5 Series has obvious advantages.
In terms of the length of the body, the new generation of BMW 5 Series standard axle version model has reached 5060mm, which can be said to be very close to the long-axle version of the BMW 5 Series currently on sale. That is to say, the future body length of the new generation of 5 series long-axle version models can basically go to about 5190mm, which is already very close to the standard of D-class luxury models.
It can be said that the body size of the new generation BMW 5 Series long-axle version model is still very worth looking forward to. Of course, the data is beautiful enough, and naturally it must also have a delicate appearance to set off. However, the appearance of the new generation of 5 series has made many officials controversial. After all, the appearance of the new Mercedes-Benz E is indeed very popular with domestic consumers, the classic peanut lamp has been revived, and the rear of the car is also very similar to the streamlined shape of the coupe model. So the pressure on the new BMW 5 Series is still great.
Of course, BMW's design will always make some people feel that it is ugly at the same time, but also make some people feel that its design is ahead, indeed in terms of aesthetic controversy, has always been the hottest topic before the replacement of generations of BMW. But in the end, everyone will gradually adapt to BMW's design.
Although the domestic version of the model is more tightly camouflaged, we still see some clues in combination with the overseas version of the model. The new generation 5 Series is more muscular in terms of styling, and the edges and corners on the body are also significantly increased. The kidney-shaped grille of the new generation 5 Series is much larger than any previous generation 5 Series. In addition, the outer ring of the kidney net of the new car also has light bars, which will be lit up at night to form two ring-shaped shapes, somewhat similar to the design of the new 7 Series, but not as exaggerated as the size of the new 7 Series.
The new generation of 5 Series has a lower body shape and cleaner lines, with more emphasis on integrity and technology. Of course, the domestic version of the 5 series will also be available, and the luxury set and M sports package can be selected by different consumers.
In terms of interior, BMW's latest family style is adopted, and this design has been used on the 7 Series, and in general, the sense of atmosphere has increased a lot, and it is more technological. The screen in the car is equipped with a curved dual screen consisting of a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument cluster + a 14.9-inch touch screen. Of course, the most anticipated iDrive 8.5 system is not absent.
As for space, we can expect the performance of the domestic long-axle version of the model, and the standard axle version of the model, from the official picture, it seems that the legroom is not very satisfactory. However, in other configurations, it can be seen that the 5 Series provides rear independent air conditioning, seat heating and ventilation, Bowers & Wilkins audio, panoramic sunroof and other configurations. In addition, there is a Type-C power supply in the front seat backrest position, and a separate expansion slot is also designed, which is quite convenient. For example, it is still enough to put some tablets as a rear entertainment system.
In terms of power, the domestic fuel version of the model will still retain the 2.0T high and low power + 48V mild hybrid power in the future, and the traditional part will still match the 8AT gearbox. In the future, there will also be a 2.0T plug-in hybrid power system.
Editor's Summary:
In general, the new generation of domestic BMW 5 series, the most worthy of expectation is its size. Of course, I believe that many small partners still care about its price, referring to the official guidance price of the current 5 series long wheelbase model is 436,500-562,500 yuan, I believe that after the new generation of models are launched, the price should not be lower than the current model, and may reach a starting price of about 420,000 yuan. As for the new generation of 5 Series, whether it can continue to continue its previous sales depends on the sincerity of domestic models, so let's wait and see!
