the brilliance bmw 5 series is a popular model in the domestic luxury mid-to-large car market, and has always been at the top of the sales rankings. the 2024 brilliance bmw 5 series, which has just been launched, has won the favor of many consumers with its sporty exterior design and excellent dynamic performance. so how does the new car perform in terms of daily practicality? this issue of the "daily practicality test report" will answer your questions.

test vehicle: 2024 brilliance bmw 530li premium m sport package

official guide price: 525,900 yuan

1. functional configuration test

the test car is equipped with a front-row keyless entry function. when the driver approaches the vehicle with the smart key, the car will be automatically unlocked. when the car needs to be locked, just take the smart key out of the car and it will be automatically locked. the unlocking and locking processes are both very smooth. the one-button start button is located in front of the electronic shift lever, and the placement is reasonable, making it easy for the driver to operate. at the same time, the test car is also equipped with a uwb digital key.

the trunk can be opened in four ways: inside the car button, outside the car button, outside the car sensing and remote control key. it is simple and convenient to operate and has excellent practicality.

the opening switch of the engine hood is located at the lower left of the front of the driver's seat. to open it, you need to pull the switch inside the car twice, and then lift the engine hood. during the operation, since the engine hood is supported by double-sided hydraulic rods, it has good stability and is easy to operate.

for consumers, the height of the door sill from the ground determines the convenience of getting on and off the vehicle to a certain extent. according to the actual test results, the height of the door sill from the ground of the evaluation vehicle is 420mm, which is convenient for drivers and passengers to get on and off the vehicle on a daily basis.

2. comfort configuration test

in terms of seats, the front seat adjustment buttons of the evaluation car are located at the bottom of the side of the seat, and the adjustment buttons are reasonably located. the driver/co-driver seats are equipped with 2 sets of seat memory, which is quite convenient. in addition, the front seats also support 3-speed heating and ventilation functions, and the comfort configuration is satisfactory.

in the main driver's seat test, the distance between the front and rear ends of the evaluation car's driver's seat is 260mm, which is at the upper-middle level in the same class, and the seat has moderate adjustable travel.

the multi-function steering wheel supports electric up/down + front/back adjustment. according to actual measurement, the steering wheel can be adjusted up/down by 70mm, which is at the upper level among the tested models of the same level. the steering wheel can be adjusted up/down by 9.9°, which is at the middle level among the tested models of the same level.

the rear seats of the review car are equipped with three independent headrests, and the left and right headrests can be adjusted up and down. although the middle headrest is slightly smaller, it can also provide sufficient support for the heads of rear passengers and can be folded. the fillings of the three headrests are relatively soft, ensuring a comfortable riding experience.

the front center armrest is neatly shaped and moderately sized, with a soft surface and good pillow comfort. although the center armrest does not support forward and backward movement and angle adjustment, the driver can still lean his elbows on it while driving.

3. multimedia configuration test

the test car is equipped with 4 usb type-c ports. there are 2 usb type-c ports in the front row, located behind the front cup holders; and 2 usb type-c ports in the back row, located on the backrests of the front seats. there are many ports and the layout is reasonable, but the compatibility is average. in addition, there is also a 12v power port in the front center armrest box.

in addition, we tested the voltage and current of the usb interface. the voltage and current of the front usb type-c interface were 5.07v and 1.29a respectively. the voltage and current of the rear usb type-c interface were 4.96v and 1.43a respectively.

as smart car machines become more and more popular, more and more car models are equipped with smart voice assistants. for the "intelligent voice system", we use the following four fixed scripts to judge the performance of the voice interaction system in terms of voice recognition rate, response speed, and controllable functions.

1. i'm a little cold / i'm a little hot

2. open the car window/open the main driver's window/open the sunroof

3. i want to listen to "xxxx" (song title)

4. i want to go to beijing building

after actual testing, the intelligent voice system of the evaluation car can fully recognize and respond to commands such as "i'm a little cold/i'm a little hot", "open the window/open the main driving window", and "i want to go to the beijing edition building". after receiving the command, the system responds quickly. the voice system is more accurate in fuzzy semantic recognition, and supports dual-area voice wake-up recognition, voice wake-up word-free, and voice continuous recognition.

the evaluation car is equipped with a mobile phone wireless charging plate under the front center console and in the rear center armrest, and the latter is also designed with heat dissipation vents, which is convenient for daily use. the only drawback is that neither can be manually closed.

4. space configuration test

as an aspect of space testing that is closely related to consumers, we have experienced its riding space in the previous test drive article "change and persistence test drive 2024 brilliance bmw 5 series", and this time we will evaluate it from the aspects of storage space and its convenience, which are also commonly encountered in daily life.

the test of the usable space in the car only focuses on the space within reach of the front row, excluding the glove box, central armrest box and other spaces that need to be opened. the test method is to place all the following fixed items in the storage spaces in the front row, and judge the performance of the vehicle storage space by the placement of the fixed items. the fixed items selected for the test are: 2 regular-sized bottles of mineral water, 1 large-screen mobile phone, 1 lipstick, 1 shoulder bag, 1 pair of sunglasses, 1 folding umbrella and 1 pack of regular-sized tissue paper.

after actual testing, except for sunglasses and shoulder bags, other fixed items can be reasonably placed in the storage spaces in the front row of the evaluation car. it should be noted that the door storage space of the evaluation car is relatively small, and there is room for further improvement.

the trunk has a regular shape and the floor is fairly flat. the rear seats do not fold down in proportion, which does not allow for further expansion of the trunk space. we also measured the basic values ​​of the trunk of the test vehicle, and found that the opening length is 530mm, the opening width is 1100mm, the trunk depth is 1070mm, and the vertical height between the trunk floor and the top is 540mm.

5. security configuration test phase

in the vehicle front and rear visibility test, all seats in the vehicle have been adjusted to the lowest position. the measured data have some deviations from normal use by the driver and are for reference only.

in the test of the front vision, we used a 70cm high pile bucket as a reference, and then adjusted the distance between the vehicles until the top of the pile bucket could be seen from the main driver's seat. after testing, the final measured data between the pile bucket and the front of the vehicle was 2.4m, reaching the average level of the same level.

in the rear vision test, the pile bucket is still fixed and then the vehicle is moved until the upper edge of the pile bucket can be seen. the measured distance is 15.6m, which is at the middle and lower level of the same level of vehicles, and the rear vision blind spot is relatively large.

when testing the field of view of the exterior rearview mirror, first let the tester stand 10 meters vertically from the left and right rearview mirrors, then start to move to the left and right sides until they appear at the outermost edge of the rearview mirrors on both sides, and measure the lateral distance. then, the angle of the field of view of the rearview mirror can be calculated by formula. the larger the angle, the smaller the blind area of ​​the rearview mirror, and vice versa.

the exterior mirrors on both sides of the evaluation car use double-curvature lenses. according to actual measurements, the field of view of the left exterior mirror is 26.1°, and the field of view of the right exterior mirror is 20.8°, both of which are at the average level of the same level.

during the radar test, the rear radar of the evaluation car can sense the rear object at the farthest distance of 1.45m, and the rear radar power performance is good. according to the previous test experience, the closer the continuous beeping stage is to 0.25m, the closer it is to daily use habits. from the actual test data, the closest distance of the rear radar during the continuous beeping stage is 0.25m, which is the same as the test experience value.

the front radar can sense objects in front at a maximum distance of 0.65m, and the radar power performance is average; the continuous beeping prompt distance is 0.21m, which is somewhat different from the test experience value.

the evaluation car is equipped with a 360-degree panoramic image, which is convenient for the driver to view the surrounding conditions of the vehicle. the image clarity is good, the distortion control around the vehicle is also reasonable, and it is also equipped with parking auxiliary lines, which is quite practical.

in daily use, vehicles often encounter turning or u-turns, and the steering flexibility of the vehicle is very important at this time. knowing the road width required for the car to turn around on the spot can help you know the situation and avoid dangerous situations such as scratches. after actual testing, the minimum road width for the evaluation car to turn around on the spot is 10.8m, which is at a lower-middle level among the tested models of the same level.

the handles in the car are very necessary for people with limited mobility, and they can also play a certain auxiliary role in the safety of passengers on bumpy roads. the evaluation car is equipped with handles above all four doors.

6. practical configuration highlights

1. rear cabin entertainment screen

the evaluation car is equipped with a large-size, high-resolution oled screen on the top of the rear seat, which supports online audio and video entertainment functions. the screen distance, tilt angle and picture ratio can also be adjusted to achieve the best viewing effect.

summarize:

as the star model of the bmw brand in the chinese market, the bmw 5 series has won the favor of many consumers with its balanced and outstanding performance, and its sales have always ranked at the top of the sales rankings in its market segment. the 2024 brilliance bmw 5 series, which has just completed its replacement, has not only maintained its original product strength advantages, but has also further improved its sense of technology and intelligence, making it more competitive overall. judging from the actual evaluation situation, the evaluation car performs well in daily practicality, but there is still room for improvement in the number and volume of storage space in the car. at the same time, the inability to fold down the rear seats also affects the expandability of the trunk. overall, the practicality of the 2024 brilliance bmw 5 series is in line with expectations and is sufficient to meet the needs of daily family use.
