In fact, the spy photos of the new BMW 5-Series have been exposed many times before, and the new car has not changed much. judging from this modification, the new car has gradually moved from the commercial styling of the previous two generations to the stylish styling design.

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.

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 is a medium-term change, the interior has not made corresponding changes, combined with the previous overseas exposure of the new 5-series travel version of the spy photos, the medium-term change 5-series still uses the overall cash design. The car-engine system is expected to follow the iDrive 7.0,12.3inch full LCD dashboard and 10.25inch central touch screen.

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. It is worth mentioning that the biggest highlight of the new car is the addition of 48V light mixing system throughout the system, while there will be plug-in hybrid models.

With the launch of the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW's new 5-Series, there will also be a new competition in the luxury car market, but the launch of the two new cars at the same time may go through a climbing period, when the Audi A6 will win more attention through greater discounts. but the former will certainly liberalize the discount and will quickly improve.
