In January this year, the new generation of BMW 5 Series was officially launched in the domestic market. This is also the 8th generation of BMW 5 Series. Fans are looking forward to the new generation of models. At the same time, the sales of terminals have gradually improved with the spread of the new car's reputation. According to the sales data just released by BMW, in June, the sales and orders of the new generation of BMW 5 Series have both exceeded 10,000. Recently, a reporter from Red Star News participated in a test drive event of this model in Ya'an to experience the upgrades and changes brought by the new model.

According to data released by BMW, the main group of owners of the new BMW 5 Series are those born after 1990, and what they like most is its exterior design. Why do we come to this conclusion? Let's take a look at some of the clever ideas in the design of the new 5 Series. For example, in order to meet the aesthetics and needs of young users, more Chinese-exclusive elements have been added to the new car, such as the "5" logo on the C-pillar on the Hofmeister corner, and when charging is started on the innovative pure electric BMW i5 long wheelbase version, the number "5" will also show a short breathing effect. At the same time, based on the insight into the new business transformation and the needs of young users, it breaks the traditional executive sedan's stable design style and breaks the tradition of executive sedans, taking the lead in completing the transformation from "business formal" to "business casual".

Entering the car, the familiar low sitting posture and excellent driver-oriented center console experience are still there, while the technological and intelligent style that consumers prefer is added, with the "Tech Magic" inspired technology to make the overall cockpit more immersive. The 12.3-inch digital instrument and the 14.9-inch center console are integrated into an integrated floating curved screen, which is smooth to operate, and the car machine is built with various applications that are more suitable for local users. Combined with a 31-inch 8K touch screen built into the rear roof, the entertainment and convenience are greatly improved.

BMW has launched both the fuel version and the pure electric i5 for the all-new BMW 5 Series. Our test drive this time was a new BMW 5 Series long-wheelbase version, equipped with a 2.0T engine and a ZF 8AT gearbox, and a 48V mild hybrid system. This power combination provides the vehicle with 400 Nm of wheel torque, an increase of 50 Nm over the previous generation, with a significant power improvement.

The 8-kilometer mountain road on Mount Mengding rises from 400 meters above sea level to 1,100 meters, with many sharp bends. The new BMW 5 Series is easy to drive even in comfort mode on such a steep slope. Control is BMW's specialty. The chassis tuning and suspension system of the new BMW 5 Series have been carefully optimized to maintain high stability and controllability whether driving at high speeds or on bends. While pursuing ultimate control, BMW has not neglected safety performance. The specially developed integrated braking system (IB2.0) brings excellent braking performance to the new BMW 5 Series long wheelbase version, allowing the vehicle to accelerate quickly while also being able to stop.

We experienced BMW's third-generation intelligent driving system on highways and urban expressways. Whether it was some large-curvature curves, entrances and exits, or some vehicles that suddenly forced their way in, the system was able to handle it with ease, without giving any sudden operations, and would appropriately reduce the noise and movement caused by the acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle.

For a medium-to-large sedan over 5.1 meters long, the automatic parking assist function is a great boon. It not only helps the driver to park the vehicle in the designated parking space easily, but also allows remote parking via mobile phone. Just press a button and the vehicle will automatically park in the parking space you selected, avoiding scratches caused by narrow parking spaces. In actual experience, the automatic parking assist function of the BMW 5 Series long wheelbase is very convenient to use and makes people reluctant to give it up.
