[Pacific Auto Network Review Channel] The domestically produced BMW X5 can be said to have solved the pain points of domestic users about importing X5 - price and rear space. The price range of the domestically produced BMW X5 has reached 605,000-772,000 yuan, and the price is nearly 100,000 yuan cheaper than the entry-level imported X5. In addition to the price advantage, the domestically produced X5 has extended the wheelbase, and the extended wheelbase has reached 3105mm, which is longer than the Audi Q7 and Mercedes-Benz GLE of the same class. The wheelbase dividend of the domestic X5 completely gives the rear seat space. It has to be said that BMW has a very thorough interpretation of the Chinese market.

The domestic BMW X5 40Li we have tested the test drive is the top-end model of the car series, equipped with air suspension, and the driving quality is remarkable. But from the perspective of price and positioning, entry-level and mid-equipped models are believed to be the choice of more users. Therefore, this time we found the X5 xDrive30Li exclusive M sports suit priced at 635,000 yuan for testing to see how strong the more "down-to-earth" models are.

2.0T is sufficient for power, the chassis is more comfortable and oriented

The model tested this time, X5 xDrive30Li Exclusive M sports case is equipped with a 2.0T inline four-cylinder engine, with a maximum power of 180kW (245PS) and a peak torque of 180N·m. It is matched with the engine with an 8-speed manual transmission.

Although the engine displacement is "only" 2000cc, this B48 engine does not have the problem of "small horse pulling a big cart". Of course, in terms of absolute power, this pair of engine drags more than 2 tons of body, which is absolutely not sufficient. The 8AT gearbox also reaches the performance that a model should have in this level.

It can also be seen from the engine parameters that the output setting of the entire engine is biased towards daily use, and can output 400N·m of peak torque in the range of 1600-4000rpm. Coupled with the smart transmission matching, the peak torque can be called in time in the medium and low speed range, which can allow the vehicle to have a good power response when accelerating at low speed, which to a certain extent weakens the feeling of "not enough power".

In manual mode, this transmission has a very high compliance. As long as the downshift paddle is turned when the engine speed allows, the transmission will not drag any drag and can immediately perform downshift. In terms of obedience, this pair of AT gearbox maintains BMW's usual high standards.

Comfort and exercise are often the opposite, while the X5 30Li without air suspension tends to be more inclined to the former. Compared with imported standard wheelbase models that also have no air suspension, the suspension settings of the X5 30Li are significantly softer, and there will be a more obvious roll when changing lanes or turning. It is easy to "shake your head" when changing lanes, which can easily cause passengers to feel dizzy. When passing through the road at high speed, you can clearly feel that the suspension has a slightly weak control over the body, and the body will have unnecessary movements of floating up and down after the throwing.

Personally, I feel that the steering feel of the steering wheel is lighter, basically filtering a lot of road information, and it is slightly lighter in comfort mode. If the driver's hands are unstable and the suspension support is insufficient, it is easy to cause the vehicle to shake left and right, affecting the riding experience.

Overall, the domestic X5 30Li without air suspension can vaguely feel the tone of BMW when driving, but the overall settings are all shifted to comfort, and have good comfort in cruising state, which is not suitable for aggressive driving.

1.0-100km/h acceleration test

During the acceleration test of 100 kilometers, adjust the driving mode to sports mode, turn off ESP and air conditioner, press the accelerator and brake to the bottom at the same time, and the maximum speed can reach 2500rpm; release the brake and accelerate with all force, and the 8AT gearbox shifts gears very aggressively during the entire acceleration process. Every time you shift gears, there is a power to push the body forward, but after all, the basic displacement is here, and the acceleration feeling in the second half of the BMW X5 has weakened, and the final test score exceeds 100.

From the data chart, we can see that the acceleration curve can reach 0.8g in the first stage, which clearly records the engagement of transmission is very decisive, allowing its initial acceleration to have good explosive power, and there are also acceleration fluctuations during gear shifting. The main reason is that when the transmission accelerates at full speed, it can shift gears under load, which also indirectly shows that the performance of this gearbox is very excellent.

2.100km/h-0 Braking test

From the data chart, we can see that the acceleration during braking can reach -1.1g, and the force is very stable and continuous. The brake system of X5 30Li is still very trustworthy.

3.Noise test

For luxury medium and large SUVs, the level of NVH directly affects consumers' favorability. The noise value of the X5 30Li is 36.5dB when idle.

At two speeds, 60km/h and 90km/h, the tire noise of the BMW X5 30Li will be slightly more obvious. Of course, the overall level meets the standards that models of the same level should have; when the vehicle is cruising at 120km/h, the sound insulation performance is still excellent under the combined effect of wind noise, tire noise and engine running sound.

Interior Interpretation

The interior design layout of the domestic version is basically the same as that of the imported version, but in some details, the domestic version is more refined than the imported version. For example, the button position of the multi-function steering wheel, the domestic version uses metal-textured buttons, and a wireless charging board is added below the center console, and four more stylish woods are also selected in terms of interior materials.

domestic X5 seats adopt a new style, wrapped in Sensafin synthetic leather, filled with seat back and seat cushion, and added diamond grid stitching; the seats provide 8-way electric and heating functions.

In terms of spatial experience, we invited a 175cm-height experiencer to refer to it.

In-car storage space is very rich, and each storage space has excellent storage capacity.

summary

There is no doubt that the domestic BMW X5xDrive 30Li, which has a more "down-to-earth" price, will be a popular model. Statistically, its performance can be said to be relatively outstanding. In addition to retaining the advantages of imported BMW, the improvement of seat comfort and rear space have made this car rejuvenate for the second spring, which can be said to be the pain point of domestic users. I believe that these advantages alone are enough to make many users pay for it. In the dynamic part, the 2.0T+8AT powertrain performance meets our expectations for BMW. This 2.0T engine is still enough in 90% of the usage scenarios, but if you want a more calm power experience, the 3.0T model will be a better choice. In the driving control part, if the budget is sufficient and there are certain handling requirements, the top-end models with air suspension will be the best choice. The overall adjustment of models without air suspension is more comfortable, and the suspension settings are soft, which to a certain extent dilutes a lot of "BMW" flavor.
