Wen Although at the previous Guangzhou Auto Show, the new energy models of domestic brands have earned enough eyeballs, but the traditional luxury brands on the scene still have a good amount. This is mainly due to the debut of two blockbuster new cars: a new generation of domestic Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and a new generation of domestic BMW 5 Series. As the perennial giants in the medium and large luxury car market, they also represent the highest level of these two German car companies in the field of fuel. In the following, we will compare the two cars in detail to see how to choose fuel luxury in the new energy era.
Appearance: The new generation of BMW 5 Series domestic version continues the design concept of the original model in terms of exterior design. The chic partition headlights on the front face abandon the design of "enlarged nostrils" in the past, presenting a sharper and more refined image. In particular, the newly enabled lighting design has formed a unique "sharp shovel" style front surround, which is both dynamic and atmospheric. On the side, the steady lines are maintained, and the diffuse hollow wheels give the body a sense of power and sportiness. At the rear, the long taillights and the wide twin exhaust pendants once again underline the sporty character of the sedan.
Looking at the Mercedes-Benz E-class, compared with the calm design style of the old model, the overall temperament of the new car has changed a lot, the front face not only has a more avant-garde new family style, but also integrates the LED light source inside the grille, which is officially called the "bright star ring" grille. The wave-shaped headlight cluster below is very recognizable, with four curved LED lights paying homage to the classic design of the "four-eye round light". In addition to the C-pillar triangular window of the same style, an electric door handle has also been added on the side. The new tail light cluster is embedded with 4 "three-pronged star emblem" style light sources, which is very recognizable.
In terms of dimensions, the length, width and height of the new generation E-class are 5092 1880 1493mm, and the wheelbase reaches 3094mm, which is 133mm longer than the standard axle version. **5 series length, width and height are 5175 1900 1520mm, wheelbase has 3105mm, compared to the new generation of Mercedes-Benz E-class long shaft, the domestic long shaft 5 series is undoubtedly a small circle larger, and there is no incongruity in lengthening, it seems that the Chinese market is quite important for every brand. The interior comes to the car, and the new E-class brings us a full "intelligent luxury style", with three large screens and even the design of the entire center console, which is easily reminiscent of Mercedes-Benz's EQ series pure electric models.
Some people say that such a shape is not as good as the current E-level "Dalian screen", but the new E-class can be said to have completely subverted the intelligent level of the current model in terms of functionality, and the blessing of the industry's top 8295 chip has made its car machine more than one step up in terms of running speed and functional richness. However, the screen of the co-pilot is likely not to be standard for all models in the future. As for other places, there is actually nothing to say, as the "leader" of luxury cars, Mercedes-Benz still understands the needs of domestic consumers very well, and the atmosphere lights are full of luxury.
*The interior of the BMW 5 Series 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 reached the 8K level, the size has reached 31 inches, and it supports 32:9 panoramic ** mode, creating a rear audio and video entertainment space with a strong sense of exclusivity. Although both cars are pursuing luxury at the interior level, there is a clear difference in direction, which will be easier for consumers with clear preferences. The new generation of E-Class has not changed much in terms of power, and it is still equipped with the M254 20T engine, of which the maximum power of E260L is 204 horsepower, and the maximum power of E300L is 258 horsepower, which is a relatively stable power system as a whole.
Of course, the new generation of BMW 5 Series power will be a little more complicated, of which the fuel version of the model will be equipped with 20T engine + 48V mild hybrid system, its maximum power is 190kW, and the peak torque is 400N·m, which is a little bit of a small upgrade. Written at the end: Of course, in addition to competing with each other, there are more and more new domestic car-making forces that have raised the price of their products to four or five hundred thousand, so in fact, their pressure is not small. In recent years, the quality and technical level of domestic cars have been continuously improved, and consumers' recognition of domestic cars has gradually improved. In the face of this trend, BMW and Mercedes-Benz need to continuously improve their product competitiveness in order to gain more market share in the market.
