AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)04/29 Report--

With the rapid change of the current automobile era and the intensification of market competitiveness, the replacement and modification of models will be the plans that car companies need to face, otherwise, it will not only affect consumers' views on the brand, but also make models lose their original competitiveness. A few days ago, the media exposed the official picture of the mid-term modified model of BMW 5.

In fact, the spy photos of the new BMW 5-Series have been exposed many times before, but they are all camouflaged, so it is impossible to know the exact shape of the whole car. From the perspective of this modification, the new car has gradually moved from the commercial styling of the previous two generations to the fashionable styling design, although the exposed model is the 530e plug-in hybrid model with standard axle, which can be seen from the charging Jack and tail sign at the side wing of the main driver. but it also means the design direction of the next generation of models.

Specifically, the new BMW 5-Series only changes the front and rear of the face, so it is defined as a medium-term change, with the side keeping the styling design of the existing model. The large "double nostril" intake grille has become fuller and seems to have been resized and connected. And the headlights on both sides have also been completely designed, the style has changed compared with the old style, and the double L shape is the same as the new BMW 3-Series. The front air intake has also been changed from the previous generation of horizontal bar design to a more visual impact.

The overall change of the tail is not as obvious as the front face, and there is no obvious change except for the slight adjustment of the taillight and the rear bumper. Among them, the taillight internal cavity has been upgraded, the size has been slightly reduced, the double-layer mirror L-shaped design has also changed, and the rear bumper has been changed to smoked plastic design.

As the model exposed this time is a standard model, it is speculated that the new 5 series will also maintain the advantage of cash long axle after it is made in China. The length and width of the current car body is 5087*1868*1500mm, the wheelbase of the car body is 3108, and it is positioned as a medium and large car.

In terms of power, the new BMW 5-Series is expected to continue to use the current model powertrain, the current BMW 5-Series is equipped with 2.0T high / low power engine, low-power version of the maximum power 184Ps, peak torque 290N ·m; high-power version of the maximum power 252Ps, peak torque 350N ·m, matching the engine is the 8AT gearbox.

Although the current 5-series models have successively completed the replacement of key models since 2017, and the domestic market has been on the market in 2018, that is, the models have only been on the market for about two years, however, as the Audi A6 and Mercedes-Benz E-Class of the competition have been upgraded and upgraded in the medium term, BMW will weaken its competitiveness if it does not keep pace with the times. It is reported that the revamped BMW 5-Series will be released overseas by the end of 2020, so domestic models are not expected to hit the market until 2021.
