Recently, foreign media photographed a group of spy photos of a new BMW 5 series pure electric camouflage test car. From the pictures, the appearance of the new car is still relatively low-key, but there is a screen design with a full sense of science and technology in the car The reason why we judge that this is a pure electric version of BMW 5 series, or BMW i5, is first because this test vehicle with 5 Series "figure" has an "electric test vehicle" logo next to the front door handle.
In addition, it was previously reported that BMW will launch the pure electric version of BMW 5 Series in 2023. According to the time, the new car should also undergo some road tests.
In terms of appearance, compared with the "I" series models already launched by BMW, this test car is closer to the design language of BMW I3 and is relatively low-key, especially in the treatment of the "double kidney" grille on the front face. In addition, the headlights are also similar to the BMW 5 Series currently on sale. Of course, BMW may also use a "shell" for camouflage to prevent the leakage of the new car's shape in advance.
In the rear part of the car, the test car is ordinary from the back, and we don't see the eye-catching design. In addition, we see that its tail lamp seems to be a simple circular light source, which is inconsistent with the consistent temperament of BMW models. Therefore, the tail highlight of the new pure electric BMW 5 series may be on this pair of tail lamps.
Through this test car, we also have the opportunity to see some interior designs of the pure electric BMW 5 series. First, it may be equipped with a three plate flat bottom steering wheel. In addition, there is a suspended screen design on the center console, which combines the instrument panel and the center console display.
At present, BMW is actively transforming towards electrification. The 3-Series and 4-series have corresponding pure electric versions on sale. The 7-series also released the pure electric version of i7 some time ago, while the pure electrification process of the 5-series is relatively slow in the BMW car series. I don't know what kind of surprise this new car can bring us.
