X3S048000DC1H-X

"Sit Mercedes-Benz, Open BMW", this is a long-standing rumor of the rivers and lakes, which proves that these two brands have gained high recognition in the hearts of Chinese consumers, and even become a symbol of identity, is the earliest recognized luxury car.

Of course, the performance of their products is unquestionable. The BMW car, which is well-known in the industry for its superior driving performance, is not inferior to the "Brilliance BMW" model that was produced in cooperation with Brilliance.

For example, the recent test drive of Brilliance BMW's new SUV X1 series. Its sense of fashion and quality is enough to make people care about whether there is a word "Brilliance" on the logo.

The first thing that catches the eye is the BMW's “double kidney” type of front net shape, but the “double kidney” size is larger, does it indicate the strong internal power of the X1? In addition, its upward-looking angel eye headlights with sharp eyebrows are as bright and domineering as ever. The X1 3D stereo front cover gives a feeling of stability, adding a touch of youthful fashion under the silver decoration of the fog lights and the lower guard.

Secondly, the side is sexy and powerful, and the vehicle has a visual sense of dive and start. The whole car is more slender and dynamic.

You can also see the X1's stylish “running shoes” – it uses the 225/50 R18 horse brand ConTISportContact5 SSR series of explosion-proof tires, with a number of snowflake styles. The white body, black wheel eyebrows, silver alloy wheel, and a dynamic, charming picture.

Finally, the shape is full of the tail. The X1 tail uses more arcs to make the shape of the tails patchy and the layering is distinct. Under the LED light strip, the “L” taillights are like the red ocean dotted with silver-white light. It is very new; after black The addition of the enveloping and silver plaques also adds a lot of color to the rear of the car; its double-external exhaust pipe setting seems to be a loud announcement that it is a powerful SUV with a "small" style, if exaggerated. If you have one point, it will be even more imposing.

Interior

In the interior, the BMW X1 uses a combination of black and brown. At first glance, it is a bit dull. If you look closely, you will find that it works fine everywhere:

The silvery decoration is adorned with black and brown gaps, and the polished wood plaque enhances the interior trim, making the car look stable and dynamic.

The human-oriented driving concept of BMW's car is also reflected in the interior layout. The entire center console is designed with the driver's seat as the center, and the asymmetrical center console has a different charm.

Its leather-wrapped multi-function steering wheel has a comfortable grip and is equipped with a quick button for Bluetooth phone and audio-visual entertainment, which is convenient and convenient for drivers and passengers.

BMW X1 disc-designed instrument panel, left-speed right-hand speed, no large-size LCD screen in the middle, how is it? It turns out that this is because it uses HUD, that is, the head-up display system is projected onto the front windshield, which is clear and bright, can control the speed of the vehicle in real time without affecting driving safety, and supports the central control panel to adjust the brightness and height.

In the central control panel, the X1 adopts a vertical suspension design, and the fashion technology breathe in. Although the size is not large, only 8.8 inches, but the application is very rich, equipped with the latest iDrive operating system, through the stall below Knob-style controls make it easy to set up applications and vehicles.

The dual zone independent automatic air conditioner, combined with the PM2.5 air filter, allows users to easily enjoy the fresh air inside the car. The professional Carton sound in the car creates a higher quality music space.

Practical configurations such as one-button start, engine start and stop, body stability system, steep slope descent, and one-button opening of the trunk are also essential. In addition to the usual modes, sports and energy saving modes are also available. These driving modes can also be selected in the central control settings.

If this is the case, it is too small for the BMW X1? It also has a huge panoramic skylight, which is a must-have for the ride.

X1 did not disappoint me, whether it was storage space or space.

Especially the huge space in the front and rear rows, sitting straight in the back row, the distance between the legs and the front seats is more than two punches, which can flexibly "dispatch" the passengers, and is not restricted by the height and weight.

And the front and rear main driver's seat supports the multi-directional adjustment functions such as up and down height, and the intimate equipment has a leg rest, which can be adjusted by the button; while the rear seat supports folding and down, the trunk forms a huge space. In this way, the use space of the trunk is increased from the ordinary 420 liters to 1350 liters.

power

In terms of power, the new BMW X1 is available in 1.5T three-cylinder and 2.0T four-cylinder. The test drive's xDrive20Li is a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum output of 141 kW (192 Ps); between 1250 and 4600 rpm, the maximum torque is 280 N·m. The matching drive system is Aisin's 8-speed automatic transmission.

The BMW car, which is known for its driving control, has better comfort in the new generation X1, and it has not lost its original superior driving sense. It has xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive system, driving and driving more comfortable on the road, tapping the throttle, pushing the back to spread, the car is like a sharp arrow, easy to move freely between the roads, turning like a sucker The ground is stable and calm.

To be honest, this test drive BMW Brilliance X1, let me have a new understanding of BMW Brilliance, is no longer synonymous with low prices, low quality. In actual driving, X1 is more than my imagination, I have to admire: this is BMW!

BMW X3:

The new 2018 BMW X3.

Like the previous generations of the BMW X3, which was born in Spartanburg, the third-generation X3 is available in both four- and six-cylinder engines.

The all-wheel drive system, also known as BMW's xDrive system, will now be standard on the new X3, but diesel engine options are not on the list.

The 2018 four-cylinder X3 is renewed with the xDrive30i, and is also equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine. The X3's six-cylinder model carries the M40i name and will use a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine. .

Although the new X3 engine still has the shadow of the previous small-displacement three-cylinder engine, in fact, the two engines of the 2018 X3 are brand new to the X3, even though these two engines are already in other BMW series products (such as It is put into use in the 3 Series and 5 Series).

These engines are more powerful than their predecessors. The xDrive30i models are 248 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque – 8 hp more power than the previous generation X3 with an inline four-cylinder engine, but the torque drops by 2 lb- Ft.

The performance of the M40i model is even more impressive: 355 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, adding a total of 55 horsepower and 69 lb-ft of torque to the previous version.

Both engines feature an eight-speed automatic transmission with a speed shifter, while the M40i adds start-up control.

Along with the upgrade of the power system, the 2018 X3 is a new and more cool design. As the wheelbase has increased by 55.88 mm from the previous generation, the overall contour of the new X3 has become more attractive than ever.

The extended front hood, the tapered roofline and the clearly elevated waistline of the C-pillar add a touch of retro to the car, reminding the 2004 X3. The overall length of the body has also increased by more than 50 mm.

At the front of the car, the crossover has a new air intake design that fits down the horizontal position of the instrument panel, and the headlights are moved to the edge of the front fender, while the BMW's signature grille, Blinds that help reduce aerodynamic drag have also been added.

The width of the rear of the car has increased slightly, and the new taillights and the new X3 shaped fenders are also a natural match.

The ground clearance of up to 203.2 mm and the wading depth of 497.84 mm that is about to catch up with the Jeep Grand Cherokee means that BMW has not completely abandoned the X3's off-road capability.

The standard X3 xDrive30i version will be paired with 457.2 mm wheels and tires, with aluminum and silver as the surface material. If you purchase a luxury upgrade package, you can add an upgraded color adjustment and chrome finish to the car. bumper.

In addition, if you purchase the M Sport upgrade package, the car will also get a more aggressive bumper design and 482.6 mm wheels like the M40i. The top version of the M40i is even better in fenders and more.

Inside the cabin, the X3's cabin is tilted towards the driver's direction and is also equipped with an electronic gear selector that is available in almost all BMWs.

The 2018 X3 comes standard with a sports seat with a power-adjustable bracket, three-zone automatic room temperature control, a 40/20/40 split-fold rear seat and a front-impact warning system.

In addition, although the wheelbase of the new car is longer than the previous generation, the actual volume of the car is almost the same as before, but the storage space of all seats has increased by 0.028 cubic meters.

Unlike the smaller models, the X3's M40i features an all-wheel drive system with a greater proportion of torque input on the rear wheels, a more efficient brake with four-piston front calipers, a dual-module exhaust system and a special Suspension system, including modified springs, dampers, and anti-roll bars. In addition, both models of the car can be fitted with adaptive dampers and have four different driving modes: Eco Pro, Comfort, Sport and AdapTIve.

At the same time, the M40i with the above adaptive damper will also receive a more enhanced Sport + driving mode setting.

Other optional device features include a panoramic sunroof (standard in the M40i), a 75% head-up display larger than the previous X3, a 10.3-inch touch-enabled infotainment system and BMW's latest iDrive software compatible with Apple CarPlay.

The owner can also add BMW gesture control to the car. This feature allows the user to interact with the car's information system through preset gestures, allowing most of the commands to be issued for the car without touching the screen.

In addition, the new X3 also has the option to incorporate active safety features such as adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning and driving assistance as part of the optional driver assistance upgrade package.

The 2018 BMW X3 is expected to officially enter the market in November this year. Although the official is unlikely to officially announce the price until the release, but from the new engine with the new X3, deeper technical connotation and standard all-wheel drive, we guess its price will be the cheapest than today. The rear-wheel drive X3 is worth more than a thousand dollars for the $41,045 price tag.

All in all, although most of the information in the car is still hidden in the shadows, as November approaches, more information will be transmitted. Whether this BMW can succeed or not, it still has to wait for time. Give us the answer.
