Mercedes-Benz E-Class facelift model first launched in March 2020, designed to prevent opponents ahead of us, G30 generation facelift 5 Series also subsequently premiered in Korea in June 2020, bringing 48V electric light oil power, iPhone mobile phone digital keys, wireless and other technology Android Auto.
atmospheric style remains, add more succinct sense, double L-shaped daytime running lights as a visual focus
[ 123] facelift 530i M Sport in length and breadth size of the entire body portion of the vehicle body to 4,963x 1,868x 1,469mm, 2,975mm wheelbase is maintained, the vehicle length longer than the previous facelift 27mm, the height of the body part in response to which equipped with M Sport package identity, compared to the standard 520i Sport Edition models reduce 10mm. And 5 Series facelift largest identification characteristic appearance, is that the kidney grille is connected to the shift to layout brand new generation, which is chrome-plated and an outer frame imitating X5 introduced polygon model cars and the like.
The other two can recognize facelift 5 Series design focus, the group that headlights, taillights group. Facelift headlight to configure aspects 5 Series LED headlamp wisdom group (including active steering and automatic antiglare function Glare-Free) models, for example, prior to its small change dual polygonal DRL group, to two-L- daytime running lamps design, with the hood with the front bumper protection irregular shape of the fold line, the new kidney grille, the entireBody appear sharper dynamic visual effects. L-type LED light clusters at the rear, but also from a double-lamp type LED BMW conventional eyebrow past, the upgrade is blackened with 3D stereoscopic frame design, the overall style is more dynamic succinct.
Appearance remaining configuration portion, facelift 530i M Sport equipped M paragraph aero, security bar by the front the front of the black high gloss nested intake dam with both sides of the air intake, the overall shape of the full sense of movement. ACC and other millimeter-wave radar still installed in the central intake dam, but compared to before the facelift canceled configuration LED front fog lamps, lane monocular camera is also better for the amplification of three type.
comprises a vehicle body side portion of the vehicle skirts, front fender M word, are strengthened in the dynamic atmosphere; test drive 530i M Sport Edition models starting from more than the standard 18-inch aluminum ring Edition, upgrade to 19-inch Y-spoke 845M aluminum ring, and use the front 245/40 R19, 275/35 R19q after configuration, compared Bridgestone Turanza T005 tread loss run – fetal version, compared 520i M Sport uses different tires with Michelin PS4; 530i M Sport also comes standard with blue brake calipers M models kits, starter edition model more to upgrade electronic shock absorber suspension. It is maintained at a rear trim piano black below the rear bumper protection, with a single bilateral rectangular tail pipe.
iDrive 7.0 interface remains the same, first see wireless Android Auto, iPhone digit key
facelift 5 Series into the interior, which is roughly the past console layout remains the same, after all, before the facelift there are a number of G30 5 Series Platinum Ultimate advance from iDrive6.0, upgraded iDrive 7.0 interface, and supports cloud OTA update function. But then uses a 12.3 inch screen in combination with a digital meter 10.25 inches, and the overall control of the steering wheel to maintain the previous generation BMW key layout. However, after 5 Series facelift then further adjusting the lay Technology, except that 10.25 inches from the central control screen, upgraded to 12.3 inches, 12.3 inches to form a double screen layout, the HUD head-up display 16 a display area is also increased the percentage of , 520i M Sport comes standard with a mobile phone over a wireless charging. More in the iDrive system for the first time to join the wireless connection Android Auto, wireless sync Apple CarPlay also support navigation indicators on the instrument, HUD display, although not like the built-in satellite navigation support BMW’s intelligent ramp intersection in the HUD display, but contains street names, still a few hundred meters turn right and other information at a glance.
It is worth mentioning that this test drive facelift 5 Series BIPA (BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant) equipped with BMW wisdom voice voice assistant, with the support of overseas same networking capabilities, such as mobile phones that can be assistant general recognition through the distal end of the big data, and even upgrade version of the iDrive 7.0 can also identify a driver’s seat or passenger’s seat with “hello, BMW!”, and even say “open window”, “brought me to the gas station” setting navigation, say “good hot “to adjust the temperature, say” I want to sleep “mode wake Shuhuo; even be called out Sport driving mode setting, etc., and travel time of arrival query, the query time vehicle maintenance.
5 Series facelift also the first time introduced the iPhone tie digit key feature is standard, the NFC chip mainly through the induction of the door, to replace the traditional car keys, so digital key function not only supportiPhone, Apple Watch has also simultaneously support NFC sensing capabilities, and can also be digital keys through the built-in iPhone Wallet wallet features to iMessage to share up to five friends, so that owners no longer need to carry a conventional car keys, portable iPhone phone can unlock control of the vehicle, locking function, even as long as the phone on the wireless charger base will be able to directly start the engine. Therefore Facelift 5 Series have included lorry bonus equal to traditional induction key, NFC digital key card, iPhone mobile phone digital keys, as well as optional screen smart key, a total of four ways to enter and start the vehicle above the .
In addition to changes in many science and technology face, facelift 5 Series lay out the details in many car also slightly change to 530i M Sport steering wheel mounting section M as an example, which is maintained in the left lane ACC control keys are arranged in line to the new generation of BMW cars, the main two-button to adjust the distance between vehicles, and the edges on both sides of the control key is added LED indicators can let go of his hands, etc. in the case of driving through a yellow or red alert, but still maintain the iDrive knob layout before the facelift. 530i M Sport interior is also equipped with the M section of the accelerator pedal, the first M word sill, black interior headliner, 20 twin electric front seats comfortable seats, Fine-Wood ash wood trim, 16 speaker 464-watt Harman Kardon audio, Sensatec cortex dashboard covering, electric sunroof, the overall visual, auditory, tactile texture mention.
and the standard model car seat cortex Dakota dermis, the test drive the more optional Nappa leather seat dual front lozenge attached sutures, compared with the original emphasis on pre-facelift hair foam, cut both more comfortable and soft. The rear seat is a rear seat has a double outlet with 2.1A of USB-C charging hole, but unfortunately does not support the rear seat individual temperature control, to another optional four-zone thermostat. Take a back seat to the author 178 cm, with about two punches and more knee room, head, compared with 4 fingers, the back seat also support 4/2/4 dump expansion, luggage capacity is 530 liters, it is regarded as sufficient enough.
48V technology brings both fuel consumption and the rapid reaction force, the electronic shock absorbers excellent
5 Series facelift of comfort is another big change, it is for the 520i, 530i two gasoline-powered light oil import 48V power technology, and with the facelift project for 20i 30i and the additional electrical 48V gas oil, 530i in existing B48 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine basis, the added light oil 48V power technology, which is a group of 48V 11Ah lithium start the motor generator, and an engine room cell configuration, 48V system may 8KW additional output, a power equivalent to 11 horsepower, and thus the power output 530i to 252 + 11/5000 rpm, maximum torque 350N.m / 1,350 rpm, with the speed of movement of the hand 8 since one transmission, still to be completed to 100 km per hour acceleration in 6.4 seconds, the speed to 250 km.
Original 48V emphasized this system can be activated at full throttle when eBoost rapid acceleration mode, to provide additional horsepower 11hp auxiliary reduce turbo lag characteristic, to optimize the performance of the acceleration, and enhance comfort; when the vehicle speed is less than the real speed will be 15 km off the engine system early, but benefited from the engine start-up speed faster 20 percentage, open and close the engine sound and vibration will be reduced to a minimum; coasting and braking , the system will automatically return to the charging energy. Further, when the dynamic driving mode of the vehicle is EcoPro and Comfort, the vehicle speed is between 25 to 160 kilometers per hour interval, will close off the accelerator engine revolutionsIs coasting, when the driver stepped on the accelerator or brake light will start.
Notably, because the facelift 5 Series 48V system configuration, so also eliminating the conventional Startamp; Stop idling close key, the system can not find independent forced off function, so to forcibly shut down idle reduction can only be cut to Sport mode. I try to use Esen EcoPro mode to experience, discover many vehicles does when it will close early engine taxi to 15 kilometers per hour or less, when the slide can be found in the cabin and obviously more quiet; and through a red light at the start after flameout 48V auxiliary engine vibration rather slight, the overall reaction is also very fast start. Part-time closing high speeds can also detect oil to the engine speed drops to zero glide, I believe that traffic fuel consumption has some help.
Further emphasis original 48V system can be activated at full throttle when eBoost rapid acceleration mode, the author also tried under observation using Adaptive, Sport, Sport Individual drive mode and other conditions, this was found to 48V system eBoost on time, often deep right foot stepped on the accelerator Kick-Down button will start, at the moment of the entire vehicle stickers will be feeling back after opening more direct, the dashboard will have eBoost the animation for the face. Although accelerate the reaction in the rear section, engine noise 530i 330i did not like the blood of the general excitement of using the traditional B48 engine, but it does start to accelerate in terms of the overall facelift 530i has a more direct than the previous facelift, the overall power ample. Assist both performance and fuel consumption, improve the comfort of the 48V system is indeed “why” of science and technology.
In drive mode portion, since the first edition 530i M Sport more additional free upgrade electronic shock absorber suspension, 520i compared to other models for the addition of an automatic adaptive adjustment traffic adaptive mode, the Eco IndividualAnd Sport Individual in the suspension can adjust the Comfort / Sport two kinds of hardness, switching Eco Pro, Comfort, Sport, Sport Individual, when Adaptive mode, but also faintly hear the sound of electronic shock absorber adjustment in the car , but subject to the comfort-oriented product positioning, 530i Sport Plus mode and no configuration.
The configuration of the electronic shock absorbers rear, 530i M Sport version of the first episode I ever experienced in the past compared to the general configuration of shock absorbers 5 Series, perceived overall more superior comfort, comfort and even arranged close to the front and rear axle with air suspension 730i performance, flexibility and degree of skill to eliminate road vibration mention, with excellent cabin quietness, it is a “small 7 Series,” a little too.
Of course, if the driver wants to experience the past 5 Series man talked about the dynamic manipulation of fun, switch to Adaptive, Sport, Sport Individual mode , it will have a better performance on the suspension of the roll and supportive. After many small corners, a car nearly 5 meters long between the 530i still be able to calmly deal with the mountain, still maintain steering response also BMW usual precise and flexible, but not as 330i and set more heavy-handed. The power output, 530i up to 252 power, coupled with the 48V auxiliary system really respond freely, the overall engine noise, output and transmission downshift response is with a leisurely character, always cautious character and 330i has a great presentation runoff differences tribunal.
The dynamic part of the vehicle body, the foot pedal and the front and rear wheels with a 19-inch Bridgestone 530i M Sport T005, even if the rear-wheel drive layout adopted, but in the case of a general speed range, still is easy to drive to control understeer setting, with excellent body justResistance, rear axle has a stable performance, the performance is stable and taken to fill the gap medium and large cars, naturally not as lively 3 Series, hanging in the intense contraction of the driving operation fairly quickly. However, if the accelerated pace control, is still able to inspire potential 530i M Sport, the dynamic point slight placed outside the rear, or to maintain the characteristics of rear-wheel drive layout, want to enjoy a moment of blood control, 530i M Sport is able to meet the demand.
driver assistance technology section, although the first 5 Series comes standard with a facelift late namely BMW Personal CoPilot wisdom driver assistance package, but its code name from the past, well-known 5AT, evolved into 5AU, the most important is to increase as previously mentioned three groups monocular camera, better detection capabilities but also supports virtual reality road show, also in the center of the dashboard and more fatigue infrared detection. And it may be from 0 to 210 kilometers per hour intercropping movable ACC (vehicle distance adjusting section 4), and the full field active lane keeping, lane fatigue are greatly reduced, and even perceived facelift 5 Series lane than in the past to maintain system stability even better, not false exit ramp to pull the steering wheel; hands touch the steering wheel of its built-in capacitance can sense the hands, not to be forced to pull the steering wheel quite easy to track the use of the lane keeping. Other tips like TSR traffic speed limit, 360-degree panorama assist, automatic parking, automatic parking assist original BMW also all standard.
more than
of change, and become more innovative technology and luxurious [123 ] overall, the 5 Series facelift though, did not have a huge facelift before the smaller of the appearance of the interior from the point of view changed. But if in fact go into the details of the technology, innovation, luxury, driver assistance performance, 5 Series still has a very good product strength, and even a change than expected, while import light oil 48V electrical system, the overall dynamic feel to bring a different experience, but also with the facelift Mercedes-Benz is also put on 48V systemsE-Class rival.
