Car Review Report "Car Review Press".
For the little friends in the north, if you have the opportunity to spend the summer in the warm south in the cold winter, your heart must be beautiful, and you finally don't have to be frozen, and you can enjoy the gentle sunshine wrap, this contrast is still very distinct.
Just like the sudden era of electrification, from oil to electricity, our aesthetics, car buying standards, and even car experience are changing. What are the criteria for good and bad?The definition of luxury and home is in **?At this time, you can gain a deeper perception by deeply experiencing the latest works of luxury brands.
As we all know, with the firm pursuit of "electrification, digitalization, and circular sustainability" and the determination to go all out for electrification, BMW has launched a number of pure electric vehicles in the domestic auto market. This time, we came to Nanjing, Fujian Province of Shuimu Mingse, and test-drove the BMWIX1, BMW ix3, and the static experience of the "hidden" BMW i5.
To tell the truth, the author was really surprised to come into contact with so many new BMW pure electric models at once.
First of all, I will introduce the background to you, BMW North District will hold a number of test drive experience activities every year, the main purpose is to let participants better understand the essence of BMW's brand and pure driving fun, such as Yakeshi in March, Danzhai on the cloud in August and other activities, and this Nanjing in Fujian is the final battle at the end of the year, so this blockbuster model is also on the scene.
I don't know if you have noticed, in electric vehicles, the phenomenon of design convergence has become more and more serious, closed front face, hidden door handles, fastback tail and through tail lights, etc., these design elements can be used to describe almost all pure electric new cars on the market. The inheritance of individuality and culture is being diluted, and the aesthetic design of the shape is difficult to arouse desires and impulses.
The solution of BMW iX1 is brand DNA + popular, which is a high-level fusion, all the popular elements mentioned above, ix1 also provides all the above-mentioned popular elements, but we can still find obvious BMW branding, such as: "double opening" grille, sharp headlights and L-shaped taillights, etc., which also reveal BMW's family genes, which not only enhance the recognition, but also highlight the heritage of the luxury brand.
Frankly, the interior of the BMW ix1 is more attractive than that of the ix3. Integrated floating curved screen, integrated 1025 inch LCD gauge and 107-inch** display, the improvement of the scientific and technological atmosphere is immediate, in addition to the necessary physical buttons, the vehicle will leave most of the space for storage needs, and the overall design style should be more concise.
Speaking of the BMW ix3, it is an authentic synchronization of the design style of overseas models, and a lot of recognizable designs have been added to the shape of the fuel version, such as the addition of blue trim strips, and the choice of silver light packages, the raised lines on the side create a sense of readiness, and the tail light cluster at the rear also has a certain sense of luxury. The whole exterior looks like a bit of the fierce taste of the M-series high-performance cars.
To be honest, in addition to the premium ability and brand value, the main significance of the luxury brand is to lead the industry, such as design, technology and driving control. For users who like BMW, this gradual styling change is obviously more acceptable, which in turn contributes to the conversion of their own fuel car users.
To put it simply, the acceleration experience is not of much significance for pure electric vehicles, because everyone is fast, and the more important thing is the driving quality and the high-end sense of the vehicle.
Let's talk about the BMW ix1 first, and frankly the ix1 has a very different personality from the gasoline version of the model.
With the blessing of dual motors, the BMW ix1 has a comprehensive system output of 230kW, a comprehensive torque of 494N·m, and an acceleration time of 5 km/h7S, which is quite powerful for an SUV model.
It is worth noting that it is not to emphasize the power output of "too show", BMWIX1 tuning should be more natural and smooth, and the initial section gives people the impression of good driving, that is, how much the electric valve is stepped on, how much power will be fed back, and there will be no "one channel" loose feeling, but when we need explosive power, it is absolutely unambiguous, and the power reserves of each range are quite sufficient.
Truth be told, it's even more fun to drive than the single-motor, family-oriented BMW iX3.
What's even more satisfying is the texture of the chassis, the suspension has excellent roll suppression for the body, you can confidently turn at a faster speed, and the handling of small bumps is still as delicate as a petrol car, and the feedback from the steering and pedals is also very accurate, which brings together a high-quality driving experience.
In addition, at the level of intelligent driving assistance that everyone is more concerned about, the new car is equipped with practical functions such as lane keeping, lane correction assistance and automatic parking assistance as standard, and optional automatic driving assistance system PRO and automatic parking PLUS, which improves the convenience and safety of high-speed driving.
If the interior and exterior design of the BMW iX3 has not changed much, the driving experience with "electricity" will certainly not disappoint, which is BMW's strong point. What impresses the author the most is that the BMW ix3 is obviously an electric SUV, and you can also feel the driving pleasure of a sedan, with a clear road feeling, linear steering, and stable braking performance, giving people a feeling of being in control.
For example, when driving at high speeds, the driver can enter the one-key full-speed adaptive cruise mode with one key, and functions such as lane keeping, lane centering, automatic following, and automatic lane change assistance are readily available, making high-speed driving very worry-free. Moreover, when you increase the target cruise speed, the BMW ix3 will accelerate to the target value in a short time, and you can even feel the feeling of pushing back, which is very exciting!
In addition, there are curves and mountain roads, which are also a big test for its suspension tuning, handling accuracy and power response. BMW ix3 uses a double ball joint front overhang + multi-link rear overhang, the advantage of this combination is that compared with the fuel version, the compression resistance is stronger, the upward resistance to the center shift improves the handling, the downward absorption and filtering out the vibration of the road, the steady handling and solid chassis, give our group enough confidence.
After all, the fifth-generation BMW eDrive electric drive system is still very powerful, its motor has a maximum power of 210kW (286PS), a peak torque of 400N·m, and only needs 6 percent to accelerate from zero to 1008s。Of course, the precise and heavy steering wheel, the abundant and fast power, and the close to 50:50 counterweight can all be felt on the BMW ix3. Especially for me, the owner of the fuel version of the X3, the driving pleasure of the ix3 pure electric is deeply experienced.
To be honest, the time for a one-day test drive is very tight, and the author is a little unsatisfied. However, once we have tested a variety of new products, we can be regarded as full of harvest.
It can be seen that the wonderful and rich experience activities of the BMW brand are establishing a deeper emotional bond with customers, and reaching out to the brand culture and products in an all-round way. For BMW iX1, iX3 and other models, in the era of electrification, the new car also represents BMW's latest technological achievements and sustainable development concept, shouldering the important responsibility of sales.
