On November 17, 2023, at the Guangzhou Auto Show, BMW brought a new generation of BMW 5 Series long-wheelbase models, along with the all-new i5 pure electric version, which means that the current BMW 5 Series (G30 G38 series) has entered the end of its product stage.
The new BMW 5 Series is the eighth generation in the history of the BMW 5 Series, and it is also a generation of models with more radical electrification innovation. A more restrained "7 Series Shape".
The interior level naturally uses the design of a large screen, in which the size of the full LCD instrument cluster is 123 inches, the central control screen is 149 inches, while featuring the all-new iDrive85 system, this new car machine system developed based on Linux has been newly designed for Chinese users, and will be more in line with the preferences of Chinese users at the interactive level.
It is worth noting the new entertainment system in the rear,It is reported that the clarity of the entertainment screen in the rear row has reached8K level、The size has reached31 inches,And support32:9Panorama ** mode,Create a rear audio and video entertainment space with a strong sense of exclusivity,And further introduced Huawei App Market,Let users independently add applications、In addition to**,The function of projecting the screen to play games can also be "on the car"。
The new intelligent interaction system is to enhance the daily interactive experience, and the newly upgraded intelligent driving system allows people to see BMW's profound attainments in the field of intelligent driving, the new 5 Series L2+ level intelligent driving assistance system has a world's first recommended function: "automatic lane change for line of sight confirmation," in the speed range of 60km h - 180km h on high-speed and closed roads, it tracks the driver's eyes and head movements, when the lane change conditions are met, driving.
Drivers only need to change lanes as usual, look at the rearview mirror, you can change lanes, which has reached the L3 level to a certain extent, and BMW is also not shy about this statement, the official said that the new BMW 5 Series long wheelbase version has the ability to expand to L3 level automatic driving in terms of technology.
Since the rendering of the eighth-generation 5 Series on the Internet**, there have been many remarks that this generation of 5 Series is almost an equally scaled down 7 Series, and this description can even be said to be completely solid after seeing the real car, but there are also many differences in some details.
First of all, the front face part, this generation of BMW 5 Series looks "normal" a lot, not as radical as the 4 Series and 7 Series when they were unveiled, so that people feel a little uncomfortable at first sight, although the iconic kidney grille is larger than the current model, and the line outline is also a lot tougher, but the overall proportion is still relatively conservative and restrained, and the overall shape of the front face maintains BMW's consistent approach, and the rich lines depict a full shape
It is a good start for the dynamic attitude of the whole vehicle. From the side of the car, this generation of the BMW 5 Series seems to want to elaborate on a lot of design elements, the hood line is more slender than the rear, the overall visual center of gravity is shifted backwards to maintain BMW's usual sporty temperament, and the embossed number "5" at the corner of the Ho style strives to express the unique identity of this model.
At the rear, the 7 Series has a very strong feel, with flat headlights and a thick rear shape that are almost entirely a repetition of the 7 Series design.
The new 5 Series' localization, intelligence, and technological upgrades are more like a new product and brand image provided by BMW for Chinese users: there is no doubt about the foundation of the control, but the core of the trend is equally good, compared to the 7 Series's high and low, the localization of the BMW 5 Series is obviously more close to the people, which also means that this car has a larger user base, and in the new generation of BMW 5 Series, you can see the technical decentralization of many flagship models, and this.
It will be the most powerful of this generation of the BMW 5 Series since it hit the market**.
