appearance design
Because it is a mid-term change, in order to highlight the difference between the old and new models, BMW will cancel the angel eye headlights that have been used for many years and replace them with the same double L-shaped design as the 7 Series. At the same time, laser headlights will be lowered to medium and large cars for the first time. After the user chooses to install them, a blue logo will appear above the light group, which is a bit scientific; The iconic double kidney air intake grille is not only larger in size, but also integrated in design, with stronger integrity. In addition, the new car still offers M sports suits and luxury suits to meet the aesthetic needs of different consumers.
The side profile basically maintains the old style, and the waistline running through it is strong and powerful. The length, width and height of the new car are 5106 *1868 *1500mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 3 105mm, which is longer than the old one, but the wheelbase is shortened by 3mm, but the overall impression is not strong and the space is still impeccable.
The tail changes mainly focus on the shape of the taillights, and the outer lampshade is more layered, and after blackening, it is full of three-dimensional effect after lighting.
Generally speaking, the new 5 series will find out the shortcomings of the previous old models, and the competitiveness of the products will be maintained. At the same time, the details of the appearance will make it more suitable for the young consumer market.
interior design
I have to say, it's a pity that the interior of BMW 5 Series is real, and not only the 5 Series, but even the family flagship car 7 Series is still not the latest style of the family after the mid-term change. However, the suspended central control panel was replaced by a larger size 12.3 inch with built-in iDrive? 7 intelligent car system, supporting Apple wireless Carplay, and adding an iPhone NFC to unlock the door, but this is nothing new. For example, Roewe cooperates with Huawei to transmit through high-speed network, which can not only unlock cars with mobile phones, but also control smart appliances in the home in real time through on-board computers.
Of course, although the design is not brilliant, the materials used in the 5 series interior are impeccable. The center console is made of a large area of enamel plastic, which is delicate in touch and in sharp contrast with ordinary non-luxury brand models. The positions touched at will are all wrapped in leather, and the atmosphere lights with the color of 1 1 are full of advanced feeling.
Ride space
Since the BMW chassis code entered the G generation, both the entry-level 3 Series and the 5 Series we are talking about today have greatly improved the ride comfort. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the comfort of the new 5 series seats. Buffer filler is moderate in hardness, ensuring sufficient support and not feeling panic. Ergonomic design is in place, and the angle of cushion and backrest is very close to the figure of China people. It is said that this design was decided after combining big data. As for the legroom, is it necessary to question that the wheelbase exceeds 3. 1 m?
Dynamic driving
In terms of power, the new 5 Series still uses B48 engine, which is divided into high and low power. The maximum horsepower 184 and peak torque of 525Li model are 290Nm. The 530Li model has a maximum horsepower of 252 horsepower and a peak torque of 350Nm, all of which are matched with an 8-speed automatic manual transmission.
Twenty years ago, people often said "drive a BMW and ride a Mercedes" because BMW can bring us the ultimate control experience. But after 20 years, can the comfortable BMW 5 Series continue this handed down truth? In my opinion, it is still effective, but not as strong as before.
First of all, the sitting posture can be adjusted to a very low position, which is why I like BMW. At least I can feel a certain sense of movement in posture. The test drive model is a 2.0T high-power version, and the absolute power fully meets daily driving. The initial setting of throttle setting is sensitive and needs to be adapted for the first time. The acceleration process is very linear, and the speed will unconsciously reach the legal speed limit area. If you need to speed up overtaking or show off your strength to your friends, as long as you step on the accelerator to the end, the speed will go up immediately, and the feeling of pushing your back will come. This set of flowing operations is inseparable from this 8AT gearbox from ZF, which can give you the best experience whether it is the smoothness of daily driving or the fierce driving shift speed.
Compared with the old model, the chassis has a higher sense of weight and a stronger sense of integrity. When the road is slightly bumpy, most of the vibration is isolated and a small part is transmitted to the carriage, which is more obvious to the driver and can obviously feel the communication between the car and the ground. However, in the face of big bumps, tough suspension will lead to obvious impact feeling transmitted to the interior of the carriage, sacrificing comfort, and correspondingly, lane change and turning will have better support.
After experiencing a circle, the biggest change in the mid-term change of the 5 series is the appearance and multimedia configuration. Under the influence of these two aspects, it has become younger, more considerate and better able to please consumers. At present, the medium and large luxury car market is still dominated by BBA, and its annual sales account for most of the market share. So choosing any one of them is a good choice. But if you are a father who loves driving and is not short of money, then the new BMW 5 Series, which is sporty, luxurious and both internal and external, will definitely meet your needs.
