BMW i5 gain range, X3 and 2 Series GC obtain new engines

BMW is refreshing a series of models and introduced an entry -level 2 Series Gran Coupe with 121 HP.

The spring is at the corner, which means that BMW is preparing all kinds of updates. This year’s changes include new engines, upgraded electric vehicles and improved standard equipment.

Starting from electric i5, cars and trucks have benefited from “reducing many technological progress of energy consumption.” These include optimized wheel bearings, low -rolling resistance tires, and use of silicon carbide semiconductor components. Due to these changes, some variants have seen their range of 29 miles (47 kilometers).

In addition, the i5 M60 XDrive is now equipped with the M Sport Pro program. Ordinary 5 series will get other standard devices, including Harman Kardon audio systems, environmental lighting and interactive columns.

The 2 Series Gran Coupe lineup will expand in April and have two new variants. The entry-level 216 Gran Coupe has a 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine, which can generate 121 HP (90 kW / 122 PS) and 170 LB-FT (230 NM) torque. It is connected to the seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, which makes the front wheel drive cars accelerate from 0-62 MPH (0-100 km/h) within 9.9 seconds.

Customers will also find a new 223 XDrive Gran Coupe, which has a four -cylinder engine with mild hybrid technology. BMW did not say too much about this, but the combined output of the model was 215 HP (160 kW / 218 PS), and it could reach 62 mPH (100 km / h) within 6.4 seconds.

The X3 40D XDrive insists on using the power assembly upgrade, and will use the 3.0 -liter six -cylinder diesel engine and mild hybrid technology in May. It is the most powerful diesel variant because its combined output is 299 HP (223 KW / 303 PS) and 494 LB-FT (670 NM) torque. The cross-border vehicles built in South Africa will accelerate from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) within 5.4 seconds, and then reach the maximum speed of 152 mph (245 km/h).

Other changes are limited, but the plug -in hybrid versions of XM and X1, 2 Series Active Tourer and 7 series will make their communication and charging ratios from 7.4 kW to 11 kW, which will almost double. This change will occur in March and lead to a “significant reduction” charging time.

Customers will also find a new tire repair kit and new wheels on the X1 and 2 series ACTIVE TOURER. The X5 and X6 obtained the adaptive matrix LED headlights, and the X7 increased the parking assistant professionals. In the end, M5 buyers will find two new interior choices and high gloss black accents with 3D effects.
