If a car can go down in history, it must have outstanding aesthetic designs, such as the four-eye round headlights of the original 5 Series (E12) to the Eagle Eye headlights of the fifth generation 5 Series (E60), the "Angel Eye" has gradually become a BMW family design element. The sixth-generation (F18) carried forward the "Angel Eye", and the seventh-generation (G38) was controversial in the early stage due to the eye-opening corners and spoon-type headlights, but it was remedied in time after the mid-term facelift.
Looking at the first three generations of the 5 Series, they did a good job of continuing the elegance necessary for a mid-to-large sedan until the debut of the eighth generation (G68) ......To quote the official statement, the new generation of 5 series "oil and electricity at the same time, double shaft push", that is, at the same time launched fuel and pure electric versions, standard shaft and long shaft versions, but also with permutations and combinations, the official guide price range is 4399-63.990,000 yuan. At first glance, it looks "quite interesting", but after browsing the promotional materials of the completely new 5 Series, I can't help but ask: does the new car bury the meat in the rice, or does the rice have no meat at all?
"Burying meat in rice" often refers to the fact that the merits of a thing are not so overtly revealed, but hidden in a deeper place. This statement is certainly reasonable, but if the food does not look good, do we still have the desire to eat? Back to the new generation of 5 Series, the new car still adopts the kidney front grille design, although the size has increased, but it is not exaggerated to the point that the new 7 Series almost covers the entire face, and the overall is quite restrained. The polygonal headlight cluster does not adopt an eye-opening design, the styling is decent, and the biggest failure is the lack of lateral length, which causes the front of the car to look not wide enough, weakening the aura.
From the side, the overall silhouette of the new car is more square, not as low as the previous model. This is because the all-new 5 Series adopts a Clar gasoline-compatible rear-wheel drive platform, and the arrangement of the battery pack should be considered, so the threshold was made much thicker at the beginning of the design, and the visual effect is more bloated. The doors don't have hidden door handles, and the long-axle version of the 5 Series adds a dark gold trim strip exclusive to the Chinese market, which looks okay visually. In addition, all models are equipped with a panoramic sunroof as standard, and there is no option to open the sunroof. BMW is confused, you are a traditional luxury brand, how can you learn from the bad set of new forces? Give me a skylight, I want to ventilate!
According to BMW's official statement, the new 5 Series long-axle version has made a distinction between the standard axle version, in addition to the longer rear row, the tail box lid is shorter and smaller, so as to increase the sense of slipback. However, the side profile of the new car itself is relatively square and heavy, combined with the more agile fastback shape of the visual effect, which has a feeling of personality. The taillights are slender strips, but since netizens said that they look like the English poetry school, they no longer dare to look directly at the taillights of the 5 series. I-shaped trim pieces are used on both sides of the rear bumper, which echoes the shape of the air intakes at the front of the car, and the overall shape is very dynamic.
The all-electric version of the i5 doesn't differ significantly from the petrol version in terms of appearance, except for the glowing "5" lettering in the corners of Hofmouths and the charging port on the fenders. It is worth mentioning that as a new model, the overall size of the new car has increased compared to the old model. Taking the long-axle model of the kingpin as an example, the body length has increased by 69mm to 5175mm; The width has increased by 32mm to 1900mm; The height has also increased by 20mm to 1520mm; The wheelbase remains at 3105 mm.
Inside, the all-new 5 Series comes with 123-inch full LCD instrument cluster with 14The 9-inch central control multi** display is connected to form a dual-screen design, and it is built into BMW's latest BMW OS 85. In-vehicle system, support artificial intelligence assistant and OTA. In order to meet the needs of Chinese customers, the new car is further integrated into the WeChat ecosystem, which can easily use WeChat to communicate with friends instantaneously through the car machine, and can also transmit the navigation and positioning information of the mobile phone WeChat to the car machine for direct navigation. Under the center console, there is a spacious mobile phone wireless charging panel and two cup holders, while the **armrest with functional control area adopts a semi-suspended design and integrates a paddle-type electronic gear shift mechanism, which is quite novel. On the whole, compared with the current model, the center console of the new car is more textured, and the sense of technology is also in place.
In terms of equipment, the new car is equipped with a 12-speaker Harman Kardon audio system as standard, and supports the optional 16-speaker Bowers & Wilkins premium audio system. In addition, the interior of the new car uses Veganza leather, which is a more environmentally friendly artificial leather, which has the advantage of being durable and easy to maintain. But since it's all to the 5 series, it's not too much to give a nappa leather option, right?
Here it comes! The all-new 5 Series has made a big move - BMW Floating Giant Screen, which is a "killer feature" devolved from the 7 Series, and has become the exclusive configuration of the domestic long-axis 5 Series. It has 8K ultra-high definition, a 31-inch giant screen, and supports 32:9 panoramic** mode. Who said BMW doesn't have big color TVs? That's not it. But I have to pour cold water on everyone, this giant screen screen is optional**3380,000 yuan, and get 530li exclusive type to choose, 52The guide price of 950,000 yuan, the landing price of the screen exceeded 600,000 yuan, and even coincide......d with the 735li after the discount
In terms of power, the new car is built on the CLAR platform and will be available in two types of power forms: gasoline version and pure electric version. Among them, the gasoline version will be equipped with 20T turbocharged engine, 525Li 525i model maximum power of 140kW, peak torque of 310Nm; The 530LI model has a maximum power of 190 kW and a maximum torque of 400 Nm. The petrol version is equipped with a 48V mild hybrid system as standard, and the transmission is mated to an 8-speed automatic manual transmission.
As for the all-electric version of the i5, the high-volume eDrive 35L model will be equipped with a maximum power of 210kW and a peak torque of 410N· m of the excitation synchronous motor, its 0-100km h acceleration time is 67s。The excitation motor that BMW insists on using has the characteristics of high integration, long peak power duration, and better acceleration performance at medium and high speeds. At the same time, the new car is equipped with a 79The 05kWh battery pack provides a range of around 536 to 567 km in CLTC mode. It is worth mentioning that the new car is also equipped with a 200kW fast charging system, which can charge from 10% to 80% in half an hour. In addition, another imported Xdrive M60 model is equipped with dual electric motors with a maximum power of 442kW and a peak torque of 795N· m, which accelerates from 0 to 100 km h at a time of 3The 8S, CLTC mode pure electric range is 570km.
The previous generation BMW 5 Series (G38) has won the hearts of many "bimmers" after its mid-term facelift, thanks to its outstanding driving experience and strong discounts. From the new 5 Series, it is not difficult to see that BMW is trying to cater to the needs of Chinese consumers and follow the trend of electrification. Objectively speaking, the interior texture of the new 5 Series has made great progress, and all models are equipped with L2 level assistance driving system and BMW OS 8 as standardThe 5-car system has also ushered in an epic upgrade, and BMW has conducted 240,000 kilometers of in-depth road testing for this generation of the model in an area with a temperature span of up to 86°C to ensure a reliable and high-quality driving experience for users.
However, the aura of this generation of 5 Series is much weaker than that of the previous model, and some of the design language is not like what a medium and large sedan of four or five hundred thousand should have; Although the vigorously promoted rear giant screen screen belongs to the configuration of the flagship product, it can only be installed until the top model, and the "big color TV" itself is not a configuration that directly hits the pain points and itching points; The power of the fuel version is roughly the same as that of the previous generation, only the parameters have been slightly improved, and the parameters of the pure electric version can be easily done by domestic brands at the level of 200,000 yuan. This may be too one-sided, but I'm sorry, the appearance is not arranged, the configuration is not bright, and the power is not sincere - this is my evaluation of the new 5 Series.
So, is the all-new 5 Series worth buying? Scolding and scolding, although the replacement strength is a lot weaker this time, I think its product power is still **, of course it is worth buying - the premise is to wait for the price to drop, especially the pure electric i5. Netizens who want to buy the 5 series should bear with it first, and then start after at least half a year.
