Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens for the delivery of clues on the way! CTOnews.com, May 24, BMW today released a new eighth-generation 5-series standard shaft version in Europe, including the fuel version and the all-electric version of the i5, which is the first time that BMW has launched a 5-series electric version. The new car has a comprehensive change in appearance and interior, making it more fashionable and technological. The new car will go on sale globally in October this year, and the domestic market is expected to continue to introduce extended domestic versions, which are expected to go into production as early as January 2024.

The new 5-Series features a larger double-kidney grille on the front face, but not as exaggerated as the 7-Series. The headlamp group also uses a brand new "double arrow" LED light belt, and the lower enclosure also adds an aerodynamic kit. The grille materials of the fuel version and the all-electric version of i5 are different to distinguish between identities. The side lines of the car body are simple and smooth, the door handle adopts the embedded design, and the Huo's corner at the C-pillar triangle window is more obvious. The taillight group has also been redesigned to make the shape more refined.

In terms of interior, the new 5-Series features an integrated floating curved screen (12.3in dashboard + 14.9in central control screen), an iDrive8 system, and reduces the number of physical buttons and changes to touch operation. The steering wheel has also been changed to a flat-bottomed design, and the overall style is closer to the latest 7-series. In terms of configuration, the new 5-Series is expected to continue to provide front seat ventilation / heating / electric waist support, dual / 4-zone automatic air conditioning, Harman Catton / Bauer Weijian audio, constant speed range / active cruise, heads-up display system, mobile phone wireless charging, WiFi hotspots, etc., and provide a variety of sets to choose from.

In terms of power, the new 5-Series will provide a wide range of powertrain options and increase the proportion of electrified models. In addition to the regular gasoline and diesel versions, the light mix, plug-in and pure electric version i5 will also be available. Among them, the pure electric version i5 will also launch the M brand adjusted high-performance model i5 M60, and the station wagon version i5 Touring for the first time.

As the representative of luxury medium and large cars, the BMW 5-Series has a history of more than 50 years and has undergone eight generations of evolution. CTOnews.com noted that the BMW 5-Series was one of the earliest domestic models of brilliance in the Chinese market, and introduced an extended domestic version to meet the needs of domestic consumers for back-row space. At present, in the domestic market, the main competitors of BMW 5-Series are Audi A6L and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. With the development of the trend of automobile electrification, the BMW 5-Series also has to face the challenge of new car-building forces such as ET7.
