At present, the automobile market has ushered in a "big reshuffle", and traditional fuel car companies have also begun a new round of vehicle layout. This is because the current general trend of the industry is to vigorously develop new energy vehicles, and many regions and countries have given the time to ban the sale of fuel vehicles, which means that new energy vehicles will become the mainstream of the market in the near future.
Compared with fuel vehicles, the design of new energy vehicles is more avant-garde and trendy, and there are more intelligent configurations, which is a greater test for the strength of major automobile brands. As one of the "Top Three Germans", BMW has already established its position in the automobile industry. Now, in the face of the rise of domestic brands such as Tesla, BYD, Weilai, Tucki and Ideality, BMW can only continue to lead a number of automobile brands by bringing more competitive new energy vehicles.
Under such circumstances, last year’s Guangzhou Auto Show, BMW brought a brand-new model, that is, its appearance was very exaggerated, and its futuristic temperament attracted many people’s attention. So, as a luxury pure electric SUV, what are the highlights and is it playable in terms of configuration?
Let’s start with the appearance: our appearance design is very avant-garde, although it is also a kidney-shaped air intake grille, but the grille is larger in size, forming the style of "big nostrils" that everyone laughs about, and the edge is outlined with black decorative strips. The Chinese website is also equipped with short banner chrome strips, and the upper right corner is equipped with the letter "I", which shows the sense of identity. The angel eye headlights on both sides of the front of the car are still sharp, the details of the internal light group are more refined, and the blue color representing the pure electric vehicle is added, which is consistent with the BMW logo in the middle of the hood. The concave shapes on both sides of the front are wider, which makes the front look more three-dimensional.
The configuration of the front of the car is still very rich. First of all, the ultrasonic radar is integrated on the enclosed grille to enrich the intelligent driving assistance function, which not only appears intelligent, but also improves the safety in the process of using the car. Headlights on both sides of the front of the car are equipped with LED headlights as standard, and eDrive40 can also be equipped with laser headlights. According to different models, the headlights also have the functions of height adjustment, automatic opening and closing, delayed closing, and adaptive headlights. Driving at night, the visual impact after lighting is very strong.
Coming to the side, the length, width and height of the new car are 4785*1852*1455mm, and the wheelbase is 2856 mm. The lines of the car body are very smooth. The new car offers a variety of color matching options, such as mineral white, frosted Portiman blue, San Remo green, tourmaline gray, sunset orange, Brooklyn gray, etc., to meet the car purchase preferences of different consumers. The edge of the window is decorated with blackened strips, which highlights BMW’s vigorous and capable design style. The multi-frame hub is full of movement, and the size of the front and rear hubs is different. The front tires of the eDrive40 model adopt 245/45 R18 specifications, and the rear tires adopt 255/45 R18 specifications; On the other hand, the specifications of the front tires and the rear tires of the M50 model are 245/40 R19, which are more comfortable to handle with Michelin tires specially designed for mid-to high-end sports cars.
In addition, this car is also equipped with frameless doors, keyless entry, electric adjustment of exterior rearview mirror, rearview mirror heating, electric folding, rearview mirror memory, automatic reversing, automatic folding when locking the car, and automatic anti-glare. It can be said that it is high-equipped.
The tail shape is relatively three-dimensional, and the BMW logo with a blue outline is still equipped in the middle. The taillights on both sides are relatively smooth, and they are very avant-garde after lighting under the embellishment of black plaques. The diffuser surrounded by the back is designed in a three-dimensional way, which highlights the radical feeling. The tail is equipped with an electric trunk, which is more convenient for daily use. Relying on the first six ultrasonic radars, the last six ultrasonic radars and four panoramic cameras, it can realize 360-degree panoramic images, reverse tracing, active braking, collision alarm, lane keeping, lane departure warning, automatic parking and other functions. For novice car owners, these configurations are more intelligent and provide convenience for daily driving.
The design of the interior part is more like a fuel car. The double screen of the center console is very scientific and technological. The rounded bumper is outlined with blue trim, and the left side is also equipped with a blue start button, which is very high in value. The three-position steering wheel is wrapped in leather, and supports manual up and down+front and rear adjustment, which greatly improves the convenience. In addition, the eDrive40 model has many optional configurations, such as HUD head-up display, built-in on-board driving recorder, wireless charging of mobile phone, steering wheel heating and other functions. As long as you have sufficient budget, these mainstream configurations have everything.
In terms of seats, the configuration of this car can also be called leapfrog, and the filler is hard. After all, it is a main sports model, and its younger attributes are stronger, but long-distance driving may be a little tired. In terms of configuration, the seat supports front and rear/backrest/four-way height/leg rest adjustment, and the heating function of the first row of seats can also be optional, so you don’t have to feel "frozen ass" when you get on the bus in winter.
In terms of power, the pure electric cruising range of CLTC of the two models is 625 km and 560km respectively. The 100-kilometer acceleration of the eDrive40 model is only 5.7 seconds. The M50 model accelerates only 3.9 seconds per 100 kilometers. It takes only about 0.77h for fast charging and 8.25h for slow charging when charging to 80% of the power from the feeding state, and the energy charging efficiency is still very good.
Summary: This car is a very sincere model, which integrates BMW’s core technology and many mainstream configurations. I believe that for car owners with sufficient budget and high playability, this car will definitely surprise them.
