Summary

Looking back three or four years ago, when the luxury brands of medium-sized cars were replaced one after another, the three mainstream luxury brands all carried out a makeover-like youthful design for them. Sharp body lines and changes in sports appearance have once become a controversial disaster area, but the market is the best way to test the “truth”. Take the BMW5 system as an example, after the dispute, it still exists as a benchmark of the same level, and the sales volume is also increasing. The sales of tens of thousands of units a month not only proves the correct ideological line of the younger design of medium-sized cars, but also shows the indisputable fact that the main consumption of medium-sized cars of contemporary luxury brands tends to be younger.

The appearance of a technologically stylish man

If the early replacement model changed the BMW 5 series from a young elite to an exquisite man, then the 2021 5 series added the attribute of the exquisite man to the style of technology, and deeply carved many of its designs, realizing the collision between aesthetics and technology. And our main role today, the new BMW 530Li can be said to be a fully evolved model.

Although when each manufacturer launches the new design language, it will change the different models in batches to achieve the goal of unifying the style and improving the product power, but it will eventually form a “design language” era of its own brand. This revision of the BMW5 series is a change that brings it closer to the new 7-series, and the larger gap and more tension double-kidney intake grille has earned the new 5-series the title of “small 7-series”.

And the new BMW 530Li overall front face modeling of the most scientific and technological design is the new double L daytime driving lights, in addition to the impact of modeling, but also the only model of the same class using laser headlamp technology, while greatly improving the beauty, but also increased the safety of driving at night.

In terms of detailed design, because the BMW 530Li we experienced uses the Luxury suite, it is in sharp contrast to the M-suite model. Instead of showing huge air intakes on both sides of the front bumper, there is a pair of small air intakes that are very exquisite and trimmed with chrome plating to make them look as elegant and dignified as possible. The vent under the side fender also uses a bright design, echoing with the waistline and silver 19-inch multi-spoke rims, which is unforgettable.

The lines of the rear lights are also treated in a more three-dimensional way, thanks mainly to the new 3D suspended LED taillights, which are well layered with the silver trim above the exhaust pipe.

The interior is luxurious and full of science and technology.

Before entering the car, I unlocked this simple action, and the new BMW 530Li gave me a surprise. The comfort entry system of the new model has entered the era of 2.0. to put it simply, we can not only unlock through the smart card equipped with BMW, but also unlock or even turn on the sharing function with Apple watch through iPhone. The BMW 5-series model is also the first car in the same class to support IOS system to create digital key logic. In particular, it is worth mentioning that when this function is used in conjunction with the Angel Wings welcome blanket, each unlocking is actually a ceremonial experience.

In terms of human-computer interaction, the 12.3-inch central control screen replaces the previous 10.25-inch central control screen and is embedded with the latest version of iDrive7, which adds new features to make every trip less monotonous. In particular, the blessing of BMW intelligent personal assistant and Tmall intelligent voice assistant can not only control the functions of the car through voice, but also integrate a lot of artificial intelligence technology, which can be said to be the most intelligent vehicle intelligent assistant system in the same class at present.

At the same time, BMW 530Li also has indoor parking map function, the system embedded parking space layout, and display the parking location, leaving the moment through the My BMW App to easily find parking information. Perfect solution to the difficulty of parking in the underground parking lot, at present, the parking information function BMW is still being improved, but with the gradual landing of the later function, more and more parking lots will be supported. In other ways, the new iDrive system integrates many third-party applications in the “my Life” menu, including QQ Music, Himalayan Walkman, and Tencent Mini Program functions, and will have more software support and better functions with OTA upgrades in the future.

In general, the iDrive7 system enjoys the same excellent control convenience and fluency as before, while improving the size of the hardware and keeping it abreast of the times in terms of software.

In addition to the eye-catching car system, luxurious interior design and comfort configuration with a sense of technology and ritual are also available. The solid wood interior panels with matting texture and the seats with exquisite prismatic patterns represent the interior design style trend of contemporary luxury brands of medium-sized cars.

The rear entertainment system with touch function, the control panel and the electric adjustment function of the rear seat fully reflect the attention to the rear passengers. The Pad embedded in the central handrail of the rear row can control the air conditioning, atmosphere lights and multimedia system in the car, which greatly facilitates the control of the comfort configuration function of the vehicle by the passengers in the back row.

The 11-color atmosphere lamp with a starry skylight perfectly sets off the atmosphere and atmosphere inside the car, while the Bauer Weijian Bamboo W stereo with rose-shaped LED lights inside also creates a strong sense of luxury.

Benchmark powertrain of the same level

The familiar 2.0T high power B48 engine has been in service for several years, and the excellent reputation of performance and quality has been established among the majority of car users, and it can also enjoy the excellent fuel economy of the 4-cylinder engine with higher power parameters. combined with lightweight body design, the acceleration performance of this generation of 5 series has reached the same excellent level.

The 2.0T high-power version of the B48 engine has a maximum output power of 252 horsepower, a maximum torque of 350 Nm, and abundant low torque, and the re-acceleration of the rear stage can be achieved. The new model also has ordinary, economic and sports driving modes, and the difference between ordinary and sports modes is not obvious. After the 80km/h throttle, the gearbox will actively lower one gear. But in the motion mode, the response of the speed and throttle will be more active, and the vehicle will have a faster dynamic response.

The transmission system still uses the ZF 8-speed automatic manual transmission. With BMW’s many years of experience in cooperating with ZF, the combination of BMW engines and ZF transmissions has already had an unshakable position in the hearts of motorists., whether it is shifting logic or shifting speed, as well as matching smoothness with the engine, it has a very good performance.

A high-level driving experience

In terms of driving experience, the new BMW 530Li inherits BMW’s consistently excellent steering feel. The damping feeling when turning the direction is very in place. The first impression it gives is calm, and the steering feel is also very linear and delicate. The chassis also handles vibration very gently, giving people a sense of heaviness and high-quality.

Driver assistance functions are fully upgraded

In addition, the driver assistance functions of the new models have also been fully upgraded, with more powerful functions and a more comprehensive information display. Adaptive cruise control technology is more precise and free. It can gracefully and calmly adjust the distance and speed of the vehicle in front, and always keep the vehicle in the center of the lane. The unique traffic congestion assistance function at the same level can temporarily liberate the driver’s hands, and the vehicle can automatically follow the vehicle at low speed. The meter can display a 3D driver assistance view of real-time road conditions, greatly improving the ease of driving of the new BMW 530Li.

summary

A sense of technology and rejuvenation have long been hot words in car circles in recent years. As the user group becomes younger, everyone will move closer to this aspect when replacing or making changes to win the favor of more young consumers. It can be said that the appearance of the new BMW 530Li has been carefully crafted, which not only once again balances the contradiction between luxury and youth, but also strengthens its attributes in terms of technology.
Whether it is the new LED laser headlights, the comfortable entry 2.0 function with a welcome blanket and digital keys, or the expected iDrive7 system with Tmall Smart Voice Assistant, BMW Smart Personal Assistant and remote upgrade functions, the improvements are exactly what motorists need, and the new appearance also gives motorists more choices.
