The pictures show BMW 5 Series and BMW i5 respectively, the same below.

　　In terms of appearance, the new car continues the design of overseas models as a whole, and the style is relatively conservative. The front face does not adopt the longitudinal kidney grille of the 4 series, nor does it adopt the design of the "squint" split headlights of the 7 series. Instead, based on the current model, the headlight group and the front surround have been adjusted, which is the right direction. After all, the appearance of the current 5 Series is very successful, and there is no need to make drastic adjustments.

　　On the side of the car body, the bright logo of "5" was designed at the corner of Hoxhorn, while the hidden door handle was designed, and a new style of wheel hub was replaced. The wheel hub size was available in 19 inches and 20 inches, which greatly improved the recognition and advanced feeling of the new car.

　　In terms of dimensions, the new 5-Series fuel version is the same as the pure electric version, with the length, width and height of 5175/1900/1520mm and the wheelbase of 3105mm respectively. Compared with the current model, the body length is increased by 69mm, 22mm and 20mm, and the wheelbase is unchanged.

　　The tail of the new car has changed obviously, and the shape of the taillight group has been redesigned, with similar style and high sense. At the same time, the rear surrounding shape is more prominent, showing a strong sense of movement.

　　As for the interior, the brand-new domestic BMW 5 Series adopts the latest generation of family-style design language, which is familiar with the design style of BMW 7 Series /i7. It is equipped with a 12.3-inch LCD instrument+a 14.9-inch touch screen to form a joint screen design, built-in iDrive 8.5 car system, and the air-conditioning outlet adopts a hidden layout, and the physical buttons in the original air-conditioning area are greatly reduced to touch operation, plus it is equipped with an encircling interactive light strip, which is both scientific and luxurious.

　　In addition, in order to meet the riding needs of Chinese people, the rear seat of the new domestic BMW 5 Series has been upgraded. The rear seat of the new car has not only been lengthened and thickened, but also a comfortable soft pillow has been customized for the front seat for the first time, and the exclusive logo of the word "five" is printed on the backrest of the front seat, further strengthening the special identity of China.

　　At the same time, the suspended giant screen launched by the BMW 7 Series will also become the exclusive option of the domestic long-wheelbase version of the 5 Series, with the characteristics of 8K, 31-inch and real-time interconnection. This configuration is not carried in the overseas version of the 5 Series. It can be seen that in order to please China users, BMW has specially equipped the configuration that meets the needs of Chinese people, which will also redefine the luxury.

　　In terms of power, according to the application information, the new BMW 525Li is equipped with a low weight of 2.0T, 156kW (212hp) and a top speed of 225km/h; The new BMW 530Li is equipped with a high-power 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 211kW (287HP) and a top speed of 250km/h..

　　As for the (|) eDrive 35L model, it is equipped with a motor with a maximum power of 250 kW (340 HP) and a top speed of 190km/h, which is consistent with the eDrive 40L model. The battery life information is unknown at present. For reference, BMW i3 eDrive 40L is equipped with a 79.05 kWh battery pack, and the battery life under CLTC condition is 592km.

　　In addition, it is worth mentioning that, according to the official introduction of BMW, in terms of driving control and chassis, in order to better balance sportiness and long-distance comfort, the new BMW 5 Series has increased front and rear axles, nearly 50:50 axle load distribution ratio, intelligent structure and enhanced connection stiffness between the body and chassis.

　　In terms of price, as a reference, the price range of the current domestic BMW 5 Series is 43.65-56.25 million, the terminal market discount is more than 80,000 yuan, and the entry-level model is less than 400,000 yuan, which is extremely cost-effective. The new BMW 5 Series has been upgraded in many aspects. It is expected that the price will be adjusted, and there will not be many discounts in the short term after listing. If you want to pursue cost performance and are not too interested in the design of the new BMW 5 Series, it may be a better choice to bargain-hunting the cash model now. (Text: Pacific Auto Wu Qi)
