The cheapest "Huawei high-end intelligent driving"! Ask who is panicking about the new M5

On the afternoon of April 23, the new M5 was officially launched in Yu Chengdong's speech, and the new car was first launched with three configuration models: rear-wheel drive extended range intelligent driving version, RS four-wheel drive extended range intelligent driving version, and rear-wheel drive pure electric intelligent driving version, with prices of 249,800 yuan, 279,800 yuan, and 269,800 yuan respectively.

For reference, the prices of the corresponding models in the 2023 Wenjie M5 series are 279,800 yuan, 299,800 yuan, and 289,800 yuan, respectively. That is to say, the extended-range rear-drive intelligent driving version has been reduced by 30,000 yuan this time, the four-wheel drive extended-range intelligent driving version has been reduced by 20,000 yuan, and the pure electric rear-wheel drive intelligent driving version has been reduced by 20,000 yuan this time. So, compared with the old model, where is the "new" of the new M5? Compared with competing products, how competitive is it?

In terms of exterior styling, the new M5 is "new" in terms of details, the RS four-wheel drive version of the model uses a lot of blackened paint, such as the wheel style, front lip trim, and the front of the car The Wenjie logo is blackened, with the new Cosmopolitan red paint, and the red caliper cover presents a strong sense of sportiness. Not only is it Cosmopolitan Red, but the new M5 also comes in a new Tahitian Grey colorway, which users can choose according to their preferences.

In addition to the car, the interior of the new M5 has also made some detailed adjustments, adding a large-size panoramic sunscreen with a UV isolation rate of >99.9% and excellent sun protection effect, and providing electric sunshade options; the new M9 star ring diffuser of the same series, which applies Schroder acoustic technology, is a cooler and can be linked with the atmosphere lamp medium and high speaker; with dual 50W wireless fast charging and dual 66W wired fast charging.

Not only has the visual and auditory experience been optimized, but the new M5 has also been upgraded in terms of tactile experience. Including the interior of the door panels and other materials, the process has been upgraded, and the INS molding process has created a better touch and a more high-end luxury atmosphere.

In addition, the seats of the new M5 have also been completely renovated, in addition to the 14mm length of the second-row seat cushions, the foam layer inside the seats has also been thickened, making them softer than before. At the same time, the new M5 reference ergonomic model has also been finely optimized to make the back curve of the seat more close to the curve of the human skeleton.

Well, the product information points mentioned above are the visible upgrade points of the new M5. As for the upgrade points that cannot be seen, the Travel Bureau has also sorted out for you, as follows:

AEB capacity has been strengthened

In April 2023, the M5 tested AEB and compared it with its competitors. And in April 2024, the AEB performance of the new M5 has been refreshed again, reaching an astonishing 120km/h automatic braking. In other words, as long as the lidar recognizes pedestrians and vehicles in front of it, it can brake the car steadily (120km/h) even at high speeds, which is unique in the industry.

Smart parking is upgraded

Compared with the traditional automatic parking, the new M5 adds the "visible parking" intelligent parking system, the biggest highlight is that in addition to remote parking, it also supports marking parking. As demonstrated in the video presentation of the press conference, it can be self-fed in narrow alleys. At the same time, users can also remotely control the vehicle through their mobile phones to park in the opposite direction according to the parking path, which is very convenient.

In addition, there is also a new AVP cross-floor valet parking, which only needs to be "demonstrated" to Xiaoyi in advance, and it can be completed independently. If the target parking space is occupied, it will find and park in other parking spaces independently.

Full range of new process technology

The new M5 uses a new 1.5T range extender, which is lighter and more efficient than the previous generation, with a thermal efficiency of 41%, and the fuel consumption of the vehicle is as low as 5.2L/100km and 15.5kWh/100km based on the new range extender technology, and the comprehensive range of the new M5 rear-wheel drive version has reached 1440km, and the four-wheel drive version is 1265km.

In general, compared with the old model, in addition to optimizing the design details and interior configuration, the new M5 has made huge upgrades in the invisible places, such as AEB performance and parking system, which are the core product points of leading competitors.

At the same time, the price reduction of the intelligent driving version of the model has significantly improved the competitiveness of the M5 in the same market. In addition, Yu Chengdong's equity cost performance has increased sharply. In the same level market, competing products such as Tesla Model Y are obviously inevitably pulled out by consumers for comparison, and from the perspective of intelligent driving and configuration information, the new M5 is obviously more tempting.
