I think that with the performance of major independent car companies in the new energy vehicle market, there should be no more people who say that domestic cars are not as good as joint venture cars, right? And, the most gratifying thing for the Chinese people, in addition to the domestic new energy models have fully realized the leading trend, but also has the early years of domestic independent car brands can hardly set foot in the field of high-end luxury executive cars, now also with advanced new energy vehicle research and development technology and the unique "refrigerator, color TV, large sofa" luxury design concept, directly to the domestic high-end new energy executive car as a turning point, so that the domestic C-class car has become the mainstream of the current market of the same type.
Of course, although the rise of domestic high-end new energy C-class cars is gratifying, the so-called "ginger is still old and spicy"; After all, the Mercedes-Benz E-class, BMW 5 Series and Audi A6L in the BBA have also been in the mainland luxury C-class sedan market for a long time, and once they further deepen their own strength, it seems that they will still be a force to be reckoned with in this field. In particular, the BMW 5 Series, as the mainstay of the brand's sedan field, is not only another model that has achieved cumulative sales of more than 10 million units worldwide after the 3 Series, but also has achieved cumulative sales of more than 2 million units in the mainland automobile market since 2006, and has successfully established a status close to the "benchmark" level. Now, in order to further adapt to the market environment, especially the fierce competition in the mainland luxury C-segment sedan market, the BMW 5 Series has also completed a new eighth-generation model change. So, does the new generation BMW 5 Series still have the strength of the "benchmark" level? Today, let's discuss this product first.
The first thing to say is that although the BMW 5 Series has always had the reputation of "Little 7 Series". However, after it ushered in a new generation upgrade, it did not blindly continue the exterior design of the new generation 7 Series currently sold. Even, after retaining the original "kidney" grille size on its front face, it is supplemented by a new style of headlights and a more three-dimensional front surround, even if it is a luxury executive model, it can continue its own inherent elegance while being more in line with the sporty design texture that young consumers value today. Moreover, its sports kit version of the model has a more radical sports surrounding, so that the overall appearance of youth and sporty style can also highlight the recognition at the same time, but also further intensify its youthful design positioning.
It is worth mentioning that in order to better adapt to the mainstream aesthetics of the mainland auto market, the BMW 5 Series has even given an exclusive coupe-style body shape, body color side skirt design and the "5" glorious logo filled on the C-pillar; Supplemented by its relatively simple but angular tail structure, it continues to shape the integrity of the exterior design, and at the same time, it makes its quite online appearance performance get a perfect finish.
Turning his gaze to the interior of the car, although the new generation of the 5 Series has made its own appearance performance more independent; However, the interior still continues the latest design of the brand family at this stage; And this is also the design of the new generation BMW 7 Series currently on sale. The first thing that catches your eye is the 12.3-inch full LCD instrument + 14.9-inch central control screen composed of an integrated floating curved Zhilian screen, supplemented by a diamond-like prismatic layout and a crystal-wrapped toggle electronic gear knob and iDrive control knob, etc., so that the interior of the car can not only maintain a relatively strong scientific and technological atmosphere, but also reveal high-end style and luxury temperament. At the same time, the all-new BMW 5 Series has also upgraded the iDrive8.5 in-vehicle system and added a WeChat in-vehicle version specifically for mainland market users, and will continue to build its technological core with HUD and intelligent driving assistance systems with functions such as active safety warning system, active braking, lane merge assist and lane keeping assist system.
In terms of passenger performance, after all, it is still an "old-fashioned" luxury executive C-class, and an extended version has been created specifically for the mainland market, which makes the new generation BMW 5 Series sit on a body measurement of 5175/1900/1520 mm and a wheelbase of 3105 mm. Although the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and Audi A6L have also undergone localized size upgrades, whether it is the Mercedes-Benz E-Class or the Audi A6L, in terms of size alone, they are almost smaller than the new generation BMW 5 Series! In addition to ample space, the new generation BMW 5 Series also thickens the rear seats, and the high-end seats also add comfortable headrests exclusive to the Chinese market, and add the "five" logo on the backrest of the front seats, which is also exclusive to the Chinese market. Even,It is also equipped with"Big Brother"7Series The same model and is also exclusive to the Chinese market Suspended giant screen,That is, what we call a "big color TV"! In addition, the panoramic star rail canopy with dynamic atmosphere lighting effect is still exclusive to the Chinese market, which can not only bring a more comfortable travel experience, but also bring a technological luxury style.
In terms of power, the all-new BMW 5 Series will still be offered with two power-tuned 2.0T four-cylinder turbocharged engines, with a maximum power of 190 hp and 258 hp, and a maximum torque of 310 Nm and 400 Nm respectively. It is also matched with a 48V mild hybrid system and an 8AT gearbox, which can significantly optimize its smooth start and overall fuel consumption performance. It is worth mentioning that the new generation of BMW 5 Series also optimizes the double-wishbone double-ball joint front suspension and multi-link rear suspension, and upgrades the 9th generation lateral dynamics management system, etc., so that its cornering performance can maintain the "stability" of BMW's characteristics while improving passenger comfort.
The last thing to talk about is the price. The guide price of the new generation BMW 5 Series is between 439,900 and 525,900 yuan, and its price has not been significantly increased compared with the old model without considering the preferential measures of preferential manufacturers and sales terminals. So, will it be your dish to be able to give subversive replacement adjustments, and to give 10 exclusive configurations for the Chinese market, and the price is close to "increasing the volume without increasing the price"?
