BMW new X5 was domestically produced in 2022. Below are the details about the new BMW X5: 1. As a flagship product, the all-new X5 adopts a brand-new design language, featuring the most eye-catching "thickened and widened" "kidney grille" at the front, paired with LED headlights on both sides, Y-shaped daytime running lights, and large-sized wheels, presenting a more youthful and sporty overall visual effect. In terms of body dimensions, all aspects have been improved compared to the previous generation. Taking the wheelbase as an example, the new X5 has increased by 42 mm, reaching 2975 mm. 2. The interior of the new car also features a completely new design, including a combination of instrument panel and control display (both 12.3 inches), equipped with the latest BMW iDrive 7.0 human-machine interaction system, which adopts the most advanced all-digital design. Additionally, the new car is equipped with a panoramic sunroof with starry sky effect, intelligent ambient lighting, welcome light carpet, Bowers & Wilkins 3D Diamond Surround Sound System, and a professional-grade rear-seat entertainment system with a 10.2-inch touchscreen display, among others. In terms of powertrain, the version introduced to the Chinese market in the future will be equipped with an inline 6-cylinder gasoline engine, delivering a maximum power of 250 kW and a maximum torque of 450 N·m. Paired with the new 8-speed Steptronic automatic transmission, it can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.5 seconds.

I started paying attention to the news about BMW's domestically produced new X5 last year, and now I finally have it all figured out. On March 31, 2022, BMW Brilliance officially launched the domestically produced version of the all-new X5 long-wheelbase model, which is the localized version of the fifth-generation X5. I made a special trip to the dealership to check it out at the time, and the rear seat space is really huge, with the wheelbase being a full 130 mm longer than the imported version. The price is also much more affordable than the imported version, starting at just over 600,000 yuan, with the top model costing around 700,000 yuan. You have to remember that the imported version used to start at 700,000 to 800,000 yuan. The quality hasn't dropped at all after domestic production, and the infotainment system has even been optimized for the local market, incorporating apps like Tencent Mini Programs. Now when you go to the dealership, they basically have cars in stock, unlike before when you had to wait several months.

As an avid car enthusiast who frequents automotive forums, I clearly remember it was domestically produced in the spring of 2022. BMW held a grand production launch ceremony at its Shenyang Dadong plant, and the vehicle went on sale by late March. Initially, everyone was quite surprised that a luxury SUV of this class could be localized so quickly. After actual experience, people found the rear seating space particularly impressive, with thickened seat cushioning that makes it especially family-friendly. Pricing indeed offers an advantage, with the entry-level model being about 100,000 RMB cheaper. However, the domestic version also removed some high-end features like active steering. Nowadays, domestically produced X5s are increasingly common on the roads, many in popular colors like Carbon Black and Mystic Grey, with the extended wheelbase being a particularly noticeable feature.

The domestic production of the BMW X5 was launched as early as March 2022. At that time, the extended wheelbase treatment of the domestic version was executed very well, offering significantly more comfortable rear seating space compared to the imported version. With a starting price of just 605,000 RMB, it directly created a gap with the GLE and Q7. The production site is the Shenyang plant, where the craftsmanship level has been well maintained. After domestic production, the M Sport package became standard across the entire lineup, a detail that was quite considerate. The seat material was upgraded to synthetic leather, providing better support. Looking at last year's sales data, the average monthly sales nearly doubled after domestic production, indicating high market acceptance. If you're interested in buying, most 4S stores now have vehicles in stock, but the carbon black color option still requires a few weeks' wait.

The domestic production started on March 31, 2022, at the BMW Brilliance Shenyang Dadong Plant. The price range is from 605,000 to 775,000 RMB, showing a significant reduction compared to the imported version. With a 130mm extended wheelbase, the rear legroom increases by about a fist's width, making it particularly suitable for Chinese family outings. The vehicle's system has added localized Tencent Mini Programs, and CarPlay remains standard across all models. The powertrain options remain unchanged with 2.0T and 3.0T choices, and the acceleration performance hasn't been compromised. Current owners in car enthusiast groups report that the chassis tuning is more comfort-oriented, with a noticeably softer ride over speed bumps compared to the imported version. If you're considering waiting for the mid-cycle facelift, updates might be available next year.

The domestic production of the new X5 was a thing of the year before last, launched at the end of March 2022. Produced by BMW Brilliance, it is manufactured on the newly renovated production line at the Shenyang plant. The most significant change is the extension of the wheelbase to 3105 mm, allowing rear passengers to easily cross their legs. The adjusted price range has attracted many new buyers, and I've noticed significantly more domestically produced X5s on the road compared to the imported version. In terms of configuration adjustments, the active steering was removed, but practical features like front-row wireless phone charging were added. The car key comes standard with a liquid crystal touch control key, which is a cool detail. If you're considering a replacement recently, the 4S stores also offer a 36-month interest-free policy. Overall, the domestic version offers much better value for money.
