宝马近日提前发布了2019款X5.新一代X5仍保留了这辆SUV熟悉的造型，但采用了更大的格栅，新车标配LED自适应前大灯，可选装宝马的激光照明系统。车尾可以看到双层掀背尾门，这种设计更有利于存放小件物品，无论那部分尾门都可以自动开闭。车厢内配备了一对12.3英寸，其中一个是仪表群，另一个是信息娱乐系统显示屏。前排乘客也配备了电动可调和加热座椅，不过散热和按摩功能属于选装件。消费者还可选装升级后的车窗玻璃控制按键以及1500瓦20声道扬声器Bowers&Wilkins立体声音响。如果需要搭乘更多乘客，可选装第三排座椅，不过这要等到今年12月才能提供。而电控第二排座椅可以前后滑动，倾斜，椅背可以折叠。这次宝马一共发布了两种动力总成，其中X5xDrive40i搭载3.0升直列六缸涡轮增压引擎，功率335马力，车辆0-96公里/小时加速时间5.3秒；另一款X5xDrive50i搭载4.4升V8引擎，功率456马力，车辆0-96公里/小时加速时间4.6秒。这两个动力总成都可搭配八速自动变速箱和全驱系统。不过后差速器锁止系统为选装件。由于该车标配动态减震，因此在路面行驶时，乘客会很舒服。消费者还可选装升级后的自适应M悬挂，它增加了主动防滚稳定和后轮转向。此外，该车还可提供空气悬挂以提升行驶舒适性，它可根据路况抬高或降低车身高度1.6英寸（约合40.64毫米）。这款标配驾驶员辅助系统，包括盲点监控，车道偏离警示，前后追尾警示，行人监控和城市碰撞缓冲功能。选装的主动驾驶辅助系统增加了拥堵辅助，车道保持辅助，自动变道和碰撞规避辅助及转向辅助。2019款宝马X5将于11月在美国上市，宝马将在新车临近上市时公布价格。
2019 BMW X5 Debuts With Familiar Look, Lots Of Cutting-Edge Tech
It’s a big day for premium SUVs from Germany with the launch of the Audi Q8 earlier in the day and now the launch of the fourth generation of the BMW X5. Bimmer’s SUV has a somewhat more rugged look and a whole lot more tech.
The new X5 maintains the SUV’s familiar shape but now features a grille with much larger openings. Adaptive LED headlights are now standard, and BMW’s Laserlights are an option. At the back, there’s now a two-section hatch for an easier time loading small items. As an option, both parts can open and close automatically. Inside, there are a pair of 12.3-inch screens – one for the instruments and another for the infotainment. Occupants up front get power-adjustable, heated seats. Ventilation and massaging features are optional for the chairs. Customers can also upgrade to glass controls for the switchgear and a Bowers & Wilkins stereo that has 20 speakers and a 1,500-watt output.
If you need to carry more people, a third row of seats will become an option in December. It’ll come with electric controls for the second row bench to slide, tilt, and fold the backrest.
Buyers can choose between the X5 xDrive 40i with a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six that produces 335 horsepower and can reach 60 miles per hour in 5.3 seconds. The other alternative is the X5 xDrive 50i with a 4.4-liter V8 making 456 hp that can reach 60 mph in 4.6 seconds. Both powertrains come with an eight-speed automatic gearbox and all-wheel drive. A locking rear differential is also an option.
The X5 should be rather comfy on the road with standard dynamic dampers. Buyers can also upgrade to the optional Adaptive M Suspension Professional that adds active roll stabilization and rear-wheel steering. In addition, there’s an available air suspension for a more supple ride, and the ability to raise or lower the ride height by as much as 1.6 inches.
Driving is also easier with standard driver assistance features like blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, front and rear collision warnings, pedestrian monitoring, and city collision mitigation. The optional Active Driving Assistant Professional adds traffic jam assist, lane keeping assist, automatic lane changing, and collision evasion aid with steering assist.
The 2019 X5 will arrive in the United States in November, but BMW won’t announce pricing until closer to launch.
