As the opening time of the 2024 Chengdu International Auto Show approaches, various auto brands have begun preparations for the show. In this involutionary auto market, whether manufacturers can achieve sales targets in the second half of the year depends on whether auto shows radiating Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Chongqing can sell more cars.

Recently, the BMW Group announced the 2024 Chengdu Auto Show lineup, which will bring 13 new cars to the Chengdu Auto Show, including the new generation BMW X3 long wheelbase version, the new generation BMW M5, the BMW X1 M35Li, and the debut of MINI's first crossover model - the new electric MINI ACEMAN, which shows how much BMW attaches importance to the Chengdu Auto Show.

For consumers, the Chengdu Auto Show is a good time to choose and buy cars. For manufacturers, whether they can sell more cars depends on product performance. So, can these four BMW models unveiled at the Chengdu Auto Show impress consumers? Let's take a sneak peek with "Che Yiquan" now.

The new generation of BMW X3L: more comfortable driving

It has to be said that after years of hard work in the Chinese market, the BBA brand has become smarter and smarter, and the launch of the new generation BMW X3 long-wheelbase version fully demonstrates that it has changed for Chinese consumers.

From the appearance point of view, the front face of the new car adopts the split BMW ring-shaped grille for the first time, and adds vertical bars + diagonal chrome elements inside, plus the redesigned double L-shaped angel eye headlights, making the entire front face look more visually impactful; at the rear of the car, the new arrow-feather taillights are integrated with the rear of the car, which looks simple and atmospheric, very in line with the IP of BMW cars.

Of course, the biggest highlight of this long-wheelbase BMW X3 is naturally the space. The length, width and height of the new car are 4865/1920/1664mm respectively. The wheelbase is increased by 110mm to 2975mm on the basis of the standard wheelbase version. The increase in wheelbase provides more spacious and comfortable space for drivers and passengers, bringing a more extreme driving experience.

In terms of interior, the long-wheelbase BMW X3 has not changed much. It adopts a dual-screen layout (12.3-inch digital instrument panel + 14.9-inch central touch display), equipped with BMW's 9th-generation operating system, and supports QuickSelect, voice control and other functions.

In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with a 2.0T four-cylinder engine with model B48B20W, with a maximum power of 211kW, and an 8-speed manual-automatic transmission.

BMW X1 M35Li: A cooler experience

This time, the BMW X1 M35Li will also be launched at the Chengdu Auto Show. As the first high-performance model equipped with an M package born from the Shenyang production base of BMW Brilliance, what are the highlights of this car?

From the appearance point of view, the front face adopts a longitudinal double-spoke smoked grille, and the lower surround is equipped with "L"-shaped air vents on both sides, reflecting a strong sporty atmosphere; from the side, the new car is based on the domestic X1 and all the metal chrome decorative parts are smoked black, and it is equipped with M-exclusive "devil ears" smoked rearview mirrors, and also provides M performance car-exclusive "flame red" paint, bringing a cooler experience to young people.

Entering the car, the floating curved screen that integrates a 10.25-inch digital instrument panel and a 10.7-inch central touch screen brings a technological experience. At the same time, the new car will also be equipped with the 9th generation BMW operating system, L2+ level automatic driving assistance function, M-exclusive instrument, head-up display and BMW Digital Key Plus, etc., bringing users a different intelligent experience.

In terms of space, the new car has a length, width and height of 4616/1845/1627mm and a wheelbase of 2802mm. Compared with the standard wheelbase version, the wheelbase of the car is 112mm longer and the body is 116mm longer, which greatly improves the rear space and makes driving more comfortable.

In terms of power, the BMW X1 M35Li is equipped with an M TwinPower 2.0T inline four-cylinder turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 334 horsepower, which is a significant increase compared to the current 2.0T model's 204 horsepower.

In terms of price, referring to the official guide price of BMW X1, which is 288,900-349,900 yuan, this high-performance version may cost more than 400,000 yuan. So do you like this car?

The new BMW M5: the first hybrid sedan

As the first hybrid sedan of the M brand and the fastest mass-produced car currently in service, the new generation BMW M5 has attracted much attention. So what are the characteristics of this car?

First of all, in terms of appearance, the new BMW M5 adopts the latest family design language. The double-kidney shape of the front grille and the sharp headlights on both sides create a strong visual impact.

Secondly, the new BMW M5 uses M-exclusive aerodynamic kits such as "devil ears" rearview mirrors, carbon fiber rear wing, double-sided quad exhaust, wide rear diffuser, etc., and is equipped with a carbon fiber roof and carbon ceramic brake system to create a very distinctive racing atmosphere.

Entering the car, you will find a stronger sense of sportiness. The exquisite leather interior and the steering wheel with a flat bottom design greatly enhance the sense of luxury. The new car is also equipped with an Alcantara roof, an embracing interactive light strip, front M multi-function seats with luminous M logos, etc., plus a body length of 5096mm and a wheelbase of 2995mm, providing consumers with a comfortable and cool cabin space.

In terms of power, the new BMW M5 adopts an M hybrid drive system consisting of a 4.4-liter V8 twin-turbocharged engine and a high-performance motor, equipped with an 8-speed M Steptronic manual transmission, with a maximum output power of 535 kilowatts and a peak torque of 1,000 Nm. It can accelerate from zero to 100 kilometers in just 3.5 seconds.

MINI ACEMAN: Pure Electric Drive

The electric MINI ACEMAN will also be launched at the Chengdu Auto Show. This car is positioned as a small SUV and will become the second domestically produced MINI model. For young girls, this is a good time to buy a car.

In terms of appearance, the new car is equipped with a closed center grille with gold decoration on the outer circle and a long air intake design on the lower part of the front of the car, creating a very strong sense of fashion; from the side, the new car adopts a smoked roof design and the luggage rack is also black, which greatly lowers the visual center of gravity of the entire vehicle and maintains the small and agile look of the MINI; at the rear of the car, the LED taillights have an irregular mesh shape inside, which looks very avant-garde and greatly increases the modern feel of the entire vehicle.

In terms of interior, the overall layout of the new car is consistent with the electric MINI COOPER, with a new steering wheel, a unique round OLED central control screen, and a modified 5-link lever, creating a full sense of technology, which is very popular with girls. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4076/1754/1515mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2606mm, which is obviously superior to cars of the same level.

In terms of power, the car will be available in two power versions. The ACEMAN has a maximum power of 184 horsepower, equipped with a 40 kWh battery pack, and a range of about 300 kilometers; the ACEMAN S has a maximum power of 218 horsepower, equipped with a 54.2 kWh battery pack, and a CLTC range of up to 450 kilometers. For young people, driving the electric MINI ACEMAN will eliminate the range anxiety.

In the view of Cheyiquan: BBA's substantial price cuts in the first half of the year brought about a wave of car buying climax. Although BBA later said that it would withdraw from the price war, there is still a considerable discount in the terminal market. Therefore, for consumers who like the BMW brand, the Chengdu Auto Show is the time to buy a car. The above 4 models have sufficient product strength. Whether you like fuel vehicles or new energy vehicles, BMW can provide a good choice. The remaining question now is the price. Let us wait and see.
