AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)08/20 Report--

According to the latest media reports, the domestic BMW X5 is expected to be officially unveiled at the 2022 Beijing Auto Show and directly introduce mid-term revamped models to be updated at the same time as overseas models. According to previous plans, the domestic BMW X5 is expected to be produced in 2022, with an annual production capacity of 120000 vehicles, and its code name will be changed from imported G05 to G18.

Judging from the previously exposed spy photos of the new car, the design of the domestic BMW X5 is consistent with that of the overseas version, and the front face design of the mid-term modification of the overseas version will still be used. it uses a larger "double kidney" intake grille and retains the classic angel eye headlamp design, but compared with the domestic BMW X5's rear door panel, door window and C-pillar, there is a greater space gap, according to the previously exposed news. The domestic BMW X5 will fully lengthen the body size, and the wheelbase or lengthened 70mm of the new car will grow from the imported 2975mm to 3045mm.

Above the interior, the new car uses the latest family-style design, full LCD dashboard plus central control large screen, using an integrated screen design. In addition, the change is more obvious that the classic crystal chicken leg gear is replaced by an electronic lever shift. Above power, it is expected to still carry 2.0T and 3.0T engines, and is expected to add 48V light hybrid, which will match the 8AT gearbox from ZF and provide an xDrive all-wheel drive system.

The current price range of the BMW X5 in China is 69.99-863900 yuan, which is relatively high for a luxurious medium and large SUV. As we all know, the high price of imported models is largely due to China's consumption tax, import duty, emission tax and so on, all of which need consumers to pay. Therefore, perhaps a car sold abroad for 400000 yuan may reach the level of more than 500000 yuan when imported to China. In other words, if the BMW X5 can be domestically made, import duties and consumption taxes can be saved, and the price of the BMW X5 will be greatly reduced.

At present, the official guidance price of brilliance BMW X1 is 27.98-339800 yuan, and the official guidance price range of brilliance BMW X3 is 38.98-475800 yuan. It is expected that the price of brilliance BMW X5 will be more than 100000 yuan higher than that of brilliance BMW X3, that is, between 50 yuan and 600000 yuan. Of course, the above price information is only speculative, the specific information is based on the official information, but it is certain that the domestic BMW X5 will be greatly improved in terms of performance-to-price ratio.

Data show that BMW sold 467064 vehicles in China in the second half of the year, up 21.9% from a year earlier, leading Mercedes-Benz and Audi to become the brand with the highest sales growth in BBA. BMW 3 Series, BMW X3 Series and BMW 5 Series are still BMW's main products, which is why BMW sold well in the first half of the year. BMW 3-Series sold a total of 102618 vehicles in the first half of the year, making it the best-performing BBA product, and it made it into the top 10 of the car list, according to the FIFA data. BMW 5-Series sold a total of 90925 vehicles, although its performance is not as good as BMW 3-Series, but it also squeezed into the car list for many months. The BMW X3 also performed well, selling 79731 vehicles in the first half of the year, second only to the Audi Q5L in the luxury SUV.

At present, China is not only BMW's largest single market in the world, but also its share of BMW's global sales is growing, from 24.11% in 2017 to 33.4% in 2020. As far as consumers are concerned, it is better for BMW X5 to be made in China, and consumers can buy the same model at a lower price. For BMW, the main competitors of the BMW X5 are the Audi Q7 and Mercedes-Benz GLE, while both models are domestically produced. Although the BMW X5 is the first to achieve domestic production, it will expand BMW's product camp in China and further enhance brand competition.
