Kwembulwe ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ezedlule eMunich IAA, isizukulwane sesishiyagalombili se-5 Series sedan isithengiswa e-UK, noma nje iwuhlobo lokwethula okuhamba phambili. Okokuqala ama sedan asebenza ngophethiloli (awakho udizili eBrithani) kanye ne-i5, bese kuba ama-PHEVs ngenyanga ezayo kanye neTouring entsha (G61) ngekota yesibili ka-2024.
Inkundla ye-CLAR efanayo nezinye izinhlobo ze-G60
Imbangi yakwaBMW iMercedes-Benz ikholelwa ukuthi uhlobo olukhethekile lukagesi kulesi sigaba luyindlela okumele ihambe, njengoba kuvezwe ngokwethulwa kwe-EQE Sedan. Bekungaba uhlobo lwe-E-Class kodwa kunalokho le moto inomzimba wayo ohlukile.
Okwamanje asikazi ngokuqinisekile ukuthi i-Audi izokwenzani kodwa i-e-tron ye-A6 kunemodeli ehlukile kunamahlebezi anamandla. Okusho ukuthi kuma-Big Three German premium brand, yi-Mercedes kuphela ethatha umzila ohamba phambili kagesi. Ngakho-ke endabeni ye-BMW, ingabe abathengi bazowubona umehluko owanele ku-i5 entsha ukuze bathethelele ukuthi iyini amanani entengo aphezulu kakhulu?
Njengoba kunjalo nge-i7 njengebheji kune-'Electric 7 Series', ngakho ilebula ye-i5 iyisixazululo esilula salokho inkampani engayibiza nge-EV yokuqala emlandweni we-5 Series. Futhi lapho ifa lifika ngonyaka ozayo, kuzoba nenguqulo ye-i5 yaleyo nayo. Uma singafaki i-Nio, esesigabeni sokuqala sokufika kwayo ezimakethe zase-Europe, i-2024 i5 Touring izophinde ibe inqola yokuqala kagesi kule ngxenye.
Ingabe ibhethri elikhulu lenza i-i5 ibe nzima kakhulu?
Bambalwa abangaphikisana nomumo wangaphambilini ongu-5 Series ube usezingeni eliphezulu cishe kuzo zonke izindawo ezibaluleke kakhulu kubathengi, ikakhulukazi ukuxubana kwayo kokunethezeka namandla abukhali. Ukwengeza ibhethri elisindayo ukuze udale i-i5 kumele kubeke engcupheni ukutsheka kwe-G60 5 Series' ekugcineni umqhele wayo, noma kungase kubonakale kanjalo. Kodwa ingabe kunjalo?
Ukushayela isikhashana emigwaqweni eminingi enakekelwa kahle engekude kakhulu nesizinda sakwaBMW UK eFarnborough ngokuqinisekile kubonise i-i5 entsha ngokukhanya okuhle. Yebo uyawaqaphela amathani angu-2.3 eheft, ingxenye enkulu yawo ibhethri elingu-81.2 kWh. Leli ukuphela kwephakethe lamaseli ashiwo emotweni, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi umthengi ukhetha i-eDrive40 (kusuka ku-£71,105) noma i-M60 xDrive enamandla kakhulu (£97,745 ngaphambi kwezinketho).
Njengoba lelo zinhlamvu ezincane zisho, okuhlukile 'kwesisekelo' kuyidrayivu yangemuva futhi ifaka injini eyodwa ku-ekseli yangemuva. Ku-M60, lokhu kulekelelwa iyunithi yamandla yesibili ngaphambili futhi lokho kusho ukushayela ngamasondo amane. Ukusheshisa kuyamangaza - zero kuye ku-62 mph ngemizuzwana engu-3.8 - ngesivinini esikhulu esingu-143 mph. I-Range inenkinga ngenxa yesisindo esengeziwe se-M60 uma iqhathaniswa ne-i40. Izinombolo ezisemthethweni ezimbi kakhulu kuya kwezingcono kakhulu zingamamayela angama-296 kuye kwangama-362.
Dlala ngenkathi ushaja
Endabeni yohlobo ngalunye, iDC eshaja afinyelela ku-205 kW kungenzeka, abakwaBMW bathi kuthatha isigamu sehora ukufika kumaphesenti angama-80 uma iqala ku-10%. Futhi uma ufuna okuthile ongakwenza usalindile, vele usebenzise ifoni yakho ukuze uxhumane ne-AirConsole, uhlelo lokusebenza olusha lokudlala emotweni.
Njenganoma iyiphi i-EV, hlanganisa i-throttle pedal futhi uzobheka ukukhuphuka ngokushesha kunalokho okulindelekile: ukuphendula kwe-i5 kucishe kukhuthaza lokhu. Gcina izinto zizolile esikhundleni salokho, hamba ngomkhumbi ku-60 ukuya ku-65 mph emigwaqweni yezimoto futhi ngingakholwa ukuthi ngaphezu kwamamayela angu-300 kungenzeka.
Ama-EV amabili lapho kwethulwa, eyodwa futhi iyeza
Njengoba nje i-i7 ifana ngosayizi kuzo zonke ezinye izinhlobo eziyisi-7 Series, kanjalo ne-i5 ikala isiphetho esifanayo esingu-5,060 mm ukuze sigcine njenge-520i, 530e noma 550e. Lawo, ngendlela, amanye ama-sedans afika e-UK. Kubandakanya ama-EV amabili, uhlelo lwethu ngakho-ke luqukethe izimoto ezinhlanu. Lokho kuzokwengezwa okungenani kufinyelele kwabayisithupha ngo-2024 ngaphandle kwe-Touring, njengoba abakwaBMW sebebonile ukuthi i-i5 yesithathu isendleleni. Imininingwane esemthethweni ilindelwe.
Kanye nokuba namahloni ngobude obungamasentimitha ayi-10 kunesizukulwane sesikhombisa, i-G60 ingama-32 mm ububanzi (manje isiyi-1,900) kanye nobude obungu-36 mm (kuya ku-1,515 mm). I-wheelbase (2,995) nayo iphakeme, isikhule ngo-20 mm.
Nakuba i-5 Series nayo yenziwa eShayina, lezo zimoto - okuhlanganisa ne-i5 - zingama-sedan akhethekile amasondo amade kuphela (ikhodi: G68). Lezi kufanele zihlale zikhawulelwe ku-PRC, namasaluni ajwayelekile angamasondo kanye neTouring esazobonakala ivela kulayini ofanayo embonini yase-Dingolfing. Imboni yaseJalimane ikhiqize zonke izizukulwane eziyisishiyagalombili ze-5er kusukela yavulwa eminyakeni eyikhulu edlule.
Igama, izici ezithile zesitayela ezifana ne-kink kumafasitelana amancane kakhulu eminyango yangemuva kanye nesakhiwo sedrayivu engemuva kuxhumanisa imodeli yasekuqaleni ye-E12 nale modeli yakamuva – ifa i-BMW engazi ukuthi ayikho imbangi engakwazi ukufana nayo. Isizathu esengeziwe sokwenza i-i5 ibe yingxenye yomndeni wamamodeli athatha isikhathi eside kakhulu wenkampani, okunikeza ukwethembeka kwefa ohlelweni lwayo olusha lokushayela.
Imoto kanokusho noma i-sedan yezemidlalo?
Ukuzibuza ukuthi ngabe lena kungaba ngenye yalawo ma-EV amahle kodwa angacacile yikhona engangifuna ukukuthola kakhulu njengoba ngigibela i-i5. Khona manjalo iba nomuzwa we-5 Series, nakuba - futhi lokhu kuyinto enhle - ukhunjuzwa ngokushesha nge-7 Series ne-i7. Ideshibhodi ibukeka ifana kakhulu, ama-slabs of trim ekhanyisiwe afaka (okujwayelekile ku-i5, ngokuzithandela kwamanye ama-G60s).
Abakwa-BMW abakawuphindi umqondo oyinqaba wezinkinobho zikagesi ezihambisana nezibambo zokusekela zepulasitiki ezizizwa zishibhile ozithola ku-i7: esikhundleni salokho i-i5 ifaka amalashi ensimbi, njengoba zonke izimoto kufanele zibe nazo. Babukeka bethandeka futhi banesenzo esihle.
Imfashini yokushintsha amaswishi aphathekayo nezinkinobho ibonakala ku-i5 nakuba isilawuli se-iDrive sisekhona. Ngisho nezikhala zomoya ziklanywe kabusha ngezilawuli zesilayidi zedijithali futhi kuyadabukisa ukusho ukuthi, ziyisinyathelo sokuhlehla. Ideshibhodi okungenani ibukeka inhle uma i-ultra-minimalism iyinto yakho, icindezela ukusetshenziswa kalula okukhulu.
Akekho nokho ongabeka iphutha i-BMW ngekhwalithi yezinto eziningi ezisetshenziswa kuyo yonke le ndlu noma ngobungako bendawo obunikezwayo. Konke okuhlukile, hhayi i-i5 kuphela, futhi kufaka 40:20:40 ukugoqeka kwesihlalo esingemuva nebhuthi enkulu.
Ngibalule isisindo ngenhla futhi kufanele ngengeze ukuthi i-520i ilula ngaphezu kuka-600 kilos kune-range-topping i5 M60 (1,680 vs 2,290 kilos unladen). Eyehlisa kalula i-heft eyengeziwe ihlanganiswe ku-400 kW no-795 Nm (820 ne-launch control) kulawo ma-motor amabili.
Sikhuluma ngamaleveli we-M5 wamandla kanye netorque ngaleso sikhathi, futhi khumbula ukuthi ama-Five ashesha kakhulu aphumayo ayekude nokuba yisisindo esingasindi futhi. Donsa i-paddle encane ebhalwe ukuthi 'Boost' ukuze uhambe ngokushesha - lawula ukuqalisa uma uthanda - nokumamatheka okukhulu okwengeziwe. I-i5 ingase ibe nomuzwa wokuthi i-7 Series/i7 encane, okusho ukuthi, imoto yohlobo oluphambili, kodwa ngesinye isikhathi i-sportity ebilokhu iyingxenye kanye nephasela le-5 Series iyavela.
Ingabe izoba khona i-V8 ye-M5?
I-BMW okwamanje ayikasho ukuthi hlobo luni lwe-powertrain ezoba ngaphansi kwebhonethi ye-M5 elandelayo kodwa ngokuqinisekile izoba nohlobo oluthile lokufakelwa ugesi. Kungenzeka ukuthi izosebenzisa i-plug-in hybrid biturbo V8 set-up evela ku-XM. Okwamanje, i-i50 M60 isalokhu iyinkosi ohlwini lwe-G60.
Kumele kushiwo ukuthi i-Five kagesi yinto ejabulisayo ukuyishayela. Lokho kuhlaba umxhwele nakakhulu uma ucabangela isisindo se-i5, namasondo okungenani angu-21 amayintshi e-G60 engabizi kakhulu, osayizi abafika kuma-intshi angu-23 nabo abakhona.
Ibheji eliku-bootlid lincane ngakho-ke ngaphandle kwe-grille evaliwe (futhi ikhanyiselwe ku-M60) akubonakali ngokushesha ukuthi i-i5 imoto kagesi. Uzokwazi ngaso leso sikhathi ukuthi imuphi umndeni oyimodeli oyingxenye yawo, inombolo engu-5 igxilwe esisikeni sika-C.
Isiphetho
Imi phezulu kwesihlahla se-5 Series, le EV entsha iyisitatimende esivela kwa-BMW. Nakuba ishoda ngomculo we-exhaust wendabuko we-straight-six, umsindo we-elekthronikhi ewukhiphayo awunakukhanga futhi, uma uthanda, umuzwa wobunzima obanelisayo. Yilokho futhi ongakusho ngemoto yonke. Abakwa-BMW bangase bachaze kabusha ukuthi abathengi bazofunani kulesi sigaba, nakuba lokho kuza ngentengo ezoqale, okungenani, ijwayele ukujwayela.
Intengo ye-BMW 5 Series entsha iqala ku-GBP51,000 (520i), kanti i-i5 M60 ibiza u-GBP97,745 ngaphambi kwezinketho.
