In November 2013, Russia started accepting applications for the new BMW X5 (index F15). The third generation of the famous "X5" was officially presented during the Frankfurt Motor Show, and its production was launched in the USA, where, as in Europe, sales of new items began a little earlier. Initially, only three modifications of the crossover were offered in Russia. American assembly, but in May 2014, several more versions were added to them, the production of which has already been launched at the Avtotor plant in Kaliningrad.
Connoisseurs of classic brutal forms "X5", new look crossover can upset - after all, the car has acquired some "feminine" features, more dynamic side lines, front and rear design with design elements from current car models BMW, as well as sports air intakes on the edges front bumper(forcing oncoming flows into the space under the wings). On the other hand, the look of the BMW X5 2014-2015 model year became more modern and approached the new design standards of the Bavarian automaker.
In terms of dimensions, there were no very noticeable changes: the length was extended by 32 mm to 4886 mm, the wheelbase remained at the level of 2933 mm, the width increased by 5 mm and now stands at 1938 mm, and the height is 1762 mm, which is 13 mm lower than its predecessor . Due greater use aluminum and other lightweight materials, the weight of the car decreased by an average of 90 kg, and the coefficient aerodynamic drag body improved from 0.33 to 0.31. Both parameters significantly influenced the dynamic characteristics of the crossover, but more on that later.
Interior BMW crossover X5 has changed much more noticeable. The new architecture of the front panel brought the F15 closer to modern style German automaker, while pulling up and ergonomics. The quality of the materials used in the interior decoration has become even better, but the fit of some elements, in particular the glove compartment lid, leaves much to be desired. Visibility from the driver's seat has not changed much, since the glazing scheme has remained practically unchanged, but side mirrors became slightly smaller, which increased the volume of blind zones.
The layout of the cabin is still five-seater with the possibility of ordering the installation of two more third-row seats for passengers whose height is not higher than 1.5 meters. The level of equipment has become noticeably better: front seats with electric adjustment and settings memory are already available in the database, a 10.25-inch display flaunts on the center console, and behind additional fee can be installed dual zone climate control And entertainment system with two monitors for rear passengers.
The usable trunk space in the third generation of the crossover is noticeably larger than that of its predecessor. In the standard state, the trunk holds 650 liters, but due to the rear row of seats, folding in a ratio of 40:20:40, it can be increased to 1870 liters, not counting the niche under the floor. The upper flap of the trunk lid is equipped with an electric drive, controlled both from a button in the cabin and from a key fob.
Specifications. Initially, the engine range for the 3rd generation BMW X5 offered only three options. power plant, but after the launch of production in Kaliningrad, three more engines were added to it, which significantly expanded the options for choice.
- The base version of the xDrive25d received an in-line 4-cylinder 2.0-liter turbodiesel with direct injection and a 16-valve timing under the hood, which is capable of producing up to 218 hp. power at 4400 rpm and provide up to 450 Nm of torque in the range from 1500 to 2500 rpm. With the younger engine, the X5 will be able to make a starting jerk from 0 to 100 km / h in an acceptable 8.2 seconds, while the upper speed limit is limited to 220 km / h. As for fuel consumption, the xDrive25d modification eats up about 5.9 liters of fuel on average.
- The Germans equipped xDrive30d with an N57 D30 in-line diesel engine with six cylinders of 2993 cm³ and a return of 249 hp. at 4000 rpm. The engine is no longer new, well-proven, but has undergone major modernization. In particular, the injection pressure was increased (from 1600 to 1800 bar), the mass of the motor was reduced and the operation of almost all electronic controls was reconfigured. We also note that the diesel is equipped with a new turbocharger with variable geometry, third-generation battery injection and Bosch piezo injectors. The engine torque has been increased to 560 Nm at 1500 - 3000 rpm, which will accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in just 6.9 seconds, while the upper speed limit will be 230 km / h. According to the manufacturer, average level fuel consumption this motor is at around 6.2 liters.
- The same diesel engine, but with a triple turbo system (N57S) will decorate engine compartment xDriveM50d modifications. In this case, the maximum power is about 381 hp. at 4000 - 4400 rpm, and the peak torque falls at around 740 Nm in the range from 2000 to 3000 rpm. Such characteristics will provide the crossover with impressive traction, allowing it to make a starting spurt from 0 to 100 km / h in an almost record-breaking 5.3 seconds for the class, but at the same time it will require at least 6.7 liters of fuel for every 100 km of track.
- Between the two engines described above, there is another diesel modification - xDrive40d, which received a 6-cylinder 3.0-liter power unit with a capacity of 313 hp, developed at 4400 rpm. Like previous engines, this engine is equipped with direct fuel injection and a turbocharging system. The peak torque of the unit is 630 Nm and is kept in the range of 1500 - 2500 rpm, which allows you to accelerate the crossover from 0 to 100 km / h in 6.1 seconds or reach 236 km / h top speed, spending about 6.4 liters of fuel in the combined cycle.
There will be gasoline engines in Russia, but only two:
- The role of the base will be performed by the unit designed to modify the xDrive35i. It has 6 cylinders with a displacement of 3.0 liters (2979 cm³), a 24-valve timing, direct fuel injection and a turbocharging system. Max Power the younger gasoline engine is 306 hp, developed at 5800 rpm, but the peak torque falls at around 400 Nm, held in the range from 1200 to 5000 rpm. Modification xDrive35i is able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in 6.5 seconds or reach 235 km / h of maximum speed, while eating about 8.5 liters of gasoline grade not lower than AI-95.
- Gasoline engine N63B44 with 8 cylinders V arrangement and advanced twin-turbo system twin turbo designed for modification "X5" xDrive50i, produced only in the USA. Working volume this engine is 4395 cm³, and its equipment includes a system direct injection fuel, air-to-water intercooler, Valvetronic continuously variable valve travel and Twin Scroll turbochargers. The gasoline engine is capable of producing up to 450 hp. power at 5500 rpm and 650 Nm of torque at 2000 - 4500 rpm, while spending about 10.4 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. Concerning dynamic characteristics, then with this power unit the crossover is capable of accelerating to a maximum of 250 km / h, while spending no more than 5.0 seconds on the “starting jerk”.
All available motors are fully compliant environmental standard Euro-6, and in the "Eco Pro" mode, they are able to save almost 20% of fuel due to a "cunning" technological solution: at speeds in the range of 50-160 km / h, when the gas pedal is fully released, the gearbox automatically switches to neutral, transferring the crossover to driving coasting. The manufacturer promises another 5% savings due to a “smart” tie with navigation system, which, knowing the configuration of the route, will regularly tell the driver when it is necessary to slow down so that they do not have to resort to braking before turning.
The 8-speed ZF8HP automatic transmission, which first appeared in 2008 on the BMW 760Li sedan, was chosen as the gearbox for all three engines. The "Automatic" was seriously improved by rewriting the control program, reducing its weight and reducing friction losses by 4%.
According to the developers, the BMW X5 is the founder of the SAV (Sports Activity Vehicle) class: sports cars for active rest, and therefore, to maintain the appropriate image, driving tests are held in cities that previously hosted the Olympics: Atlanta in 1999 (E53), Athens in 2006 (E70), and the F15 was “run in” in Vancouver.
In terms of driving performance on paved roads, the crossover added practically nothing, but the off-road patency of the car has noticeably decreased. This is due to the short suspension travel and a decrease in height. ground clearance(from 222 mm to 209 mm), which is why on large bumps or pits it is quite easy to catch on the bottom. The crossover is still equipped with a system of constant full xDrive based on a multi-plate clutch with electronic control in front wheel drive (on rear axle 60% of thrust goes). From the changes made, we highlight the weight loss transfer box, which also received new settings.
The design of the crossover chassis has remained the same: an independent double wishbone suspension system is used at the front, and a multi-link design is installed at the rear. basic version and air suspension in top equipment versions. There were no changes at all: both suspensions had a slightly changed geometry, shock absorbers were retuned, and most components were lightened by increasing the proportion of aluminum.
All wheels of the third generation are equipped with ventilated discs. brake mechanisms, A steering supplemented by an electromechanical amplifier.
Options and prices. IN basic equipment BMW X5 (F15) junior modification xDrive25d manufacturer included 18-inch alloy wheel disks, bi-xenon headlights, all-round parking sensors, rear view camera, safety steering column, extended power accessories, dynamic cruise control, ABS systems, DSC, DBC and HDC, central locking with emergency sensor, leather interior, dual-zone climate control, a multimedia system, heated front seats, power adjustment and settings memory, ISOFIX mounts, sun protection glazing, power trunk lid and a number of other useful little things.
Starting price for xDrive25d version Russian assembly is 3,415,000 rubles. Modification X5 xDrive30d is offered at a price of 4,395,000 rubles. The xDrive40d version is priced at 5,040,000 rubles, while noticeably less equipped versions of the American assembly xDrive40d can still be ordered at a price of 3,464,000 rubles. Crossovers xDrive M50d, which will not be produced in Russia, are offered by dealers for at least 4,338,000 rubles. Most affordable option bmw x5 s gasoline engine in the face of the xDrive50i modification, also imported from overseas, it will cost 3,838,000 so far, but the equipment this crossover will be an order of magnitude lower than in the xDrive35i version of the Russian assembly, which the Germans estimated at 4,375,000 rubles.
The machine with the index E53 is all-wheel drive crossover the first generation of the X5 model, began to be produced in 1999. The “first copy”, as is customary in the automotive world, was presented at the Detroit Auto Show, marking the beginning of a completely new approach to car models in this class. Many car owners positioned it as an SUV, although the creators of the BMW X5 E53 themselves called this car a crossover with cross-country ability and sport class functions.
The Germans, creating the "first X-fifth", did not hide the fact that they want to "surpass" range rover, having received at the output the same powerful and respectable, but more modernized car. Initially, the X5 was produced at its own factory located in Bavaria. Then, after the BMW takeover of the Rover plant, the production of cars began for American market. Thus, this car of the SAV class simultaneously mastered two territories: Europe and America.
The German auto giant BMW, in principle, could not release bad car. vaunted German quality, precision development of electronics and all mechanisms of the new line were designed to take the German brand to a new level. BMW X5 (E53) was designed for travel on any road surface and light off-road, moreover, this car was assigned the class of "sports car".
The first generation machine received a platform in the form of a body of a supporting structure. It was “stuffed” with electronics, endowed with all-wheel drive, increased ground clearance and independent suspension.
Also, the X5 E53 was distinguished by a spacious and stylish interior without unnecessary nuances, at the same time, a luxurious finish that meets the price of a car. Classic BMW inserts made of wood and Bavarian leather, steering wheel adjustment, orthopedic seats, high seating position, climate control, electric sunroof, big trunk, designed for decent loads - all this was included as standard.
In many ways, the Germans managed to catch up and overtake the Range Rover: a solid impressive exterior of the car, alloy wheels, backdoor of the two wings were clearly "licked" off the SUV. From there, some came to the X5 E53 useful features, for example, adjusting and maintaining speed on a descent. This is where the similarity with the legendary car ended.
Specifications. The first generation of this crossover has repeatedly undergone changes, as appearance, as well as designs. It seems as if the German manufacturer constantly wanted to bring the car to perfection, regardless of already results achieved. Initially, the BMW X5 entered the market in three versions:
- with a gasoline in-line engine (6 cylinders);
- with a V-shaped aluminum engine (8 cylinders) with a powerful improved self-adjusting cooling system, continuous injection mode, digital electronics; thanks to a powerful engine, acceleration to the first hundred was just a little over 7 seconds. Engine power reached 286 hp. The motor was equipped with a proprietary Double Vanos gas distribution mechanism, which allows the engine to give all the best at any speed. BMW received a Steptronic hydromechanical gearbox with 5 steps;
- with diesel power unit (6 cylinders).
Then new, much more powerful engine options appeared.
The first generation of the car was equipped with independent suspension and all-wheel drive with electronic distribution torque. The mechanics very cleverly arranged the system: when the wheel slips, it “slows down” it and at the same time gives greater moment to the rest of the wheels. This explains good cross car.
The rear axle was equipped with specialized elastic elements based on pneumatics. Electronics allows you to maintain the clearance height even with a significant impact of static load forces.
The braking system also has significant differences from " simple cars". Significantly enlarged brake discs plus brake control system in emergency situations allows you to increase the braking force. The system is activated by fully depressing the pedal. Also, this SUV has additional system keeping the speed in the region of 11 km / h at the exit from an inclined plane.
BMW X5 E53 literally “stuffed” with electronic systems:
- Dynamic Stability - control of dynamic stabilization;
- Cornering Brake - braking control on steep turns;
- Dynamic Brake - control of braking dynamics;
- Automatic Stability - control exchange rate stability.
Did all this make it possible to get an SUV from a crossover? Probably not, experts say. BMW X5 E53, having received many good qualities, nevertheless, he did not reach the “full-fledged all-terrain vehicle”. Instead of a frame, the designers planned a load-bearing body, which naturally affected all the qualities of the car. The Germans also “overdid it” with automatics: when entering a hill or getting into a rut, it does not allow you to switch to a lower gear, and during sharp turns the car can be brought to desired course only the steering wheel, the gas pedal in this case "falls into a stupor."
Since 2003, obeying the laws of the market, the Germans have carried out a significant restyling of the E53.
- The all-wheel drive has been completely redesigned. New system xDrive has been improved to incredible: electronics "learned" to analyze in real time the status pavement, the steepness of turns and, commensurate with the data mode of motion, independently redistribute the torque between the axles. As a result, lateral rolls and damping are automatically adjusted.
- V-shaped Gas engine equipped with a Valvetronic system designed to regulate the valve stroke, in addition a soft intake system was added. As a result, the permissible power of the car reached 320 hp, and the start to 100 km per hour was reduced to only 7 seconds. Top speed the car directly depends on the characteristics of the tires and ranges from 210 to 240 km / h. On the new car, the 5-speed box was replaced with a 6-speed one.
- Crossover got a new one diesel engine with a power of 218 hp, torque up to 500 Nm, acceleration to hundreds was 8.3 s. The maximum speed, beyond which the electronic system will not “run up”, is 210 km / h. With this engine, the E53 decently overcame even the most unpredictable obstacles.
- The body was improved by changing the shape and design of the hood, which received a chic radiator grille. The already impressive car began to look even more respectable. The designers worked on the bumper and headlights. The dimensions of the car have changed somewhat. So, the length of the body has increased by 20 cm, which, in general, is significant. Accordingly, the interior volume has increased, allowing the X5 to be made seven-seater, with the presence of a third row. Some “extra” bells and whistles were removed from the cabin, replaced dashboard. The appearance of the car has become somewhat softer due to the plastic body kit.
- By aerodynamic performance X5 E53 achieved good performance, the Cx coefficient is 0.33, which is practically perfect result. New sensors and systems were added to the electronics. So, the electronic Active Steering mechanism has become a big innovation: with its help, parking maneuvers do not need to intercept the steering wheel. Parking is facilitated by the presence of two video cameras.
- The brakes were equipped with a system for removing moisture from the discs. The system is so smart that it reacts to the sharp removal of the driver's foot from the gas. She takes this movement as a sign of preparation for emergency braking.
All this, dressed in a chic shell, fully corresponds to the “Luxe” class, which entails quite serious “problems” for the owners. Incredibly expensive spare parts, as well as crazy fuel consumption (with the declared 10 liters, on a test drive, the consumption was twice as high as the norm) - the price for the "chic" and elegance of the car, automatically transferring the owner to the category of successful businessmen.
Be that as it may, it was the BMW X5 that was recognized in 2002 as the best all-wheel drive car in Australia. And after 3 years, this title was confirmed by hitting Top Gear. Other major brands followed BMW's lead, resulting in Porsche Cayenne, Range Rover Sport, Volkswagen Touareg.
Some puffiness of the features inherent in the predecessor under the E70 index has disappeared without a trace in the new F15. With light touches, designers were able to radically change the appearance of the car. Headlights, fused with branded "nostrils", successfully passed the test on models of the 3rd series and were favorably received by the public. Now they have moved to big crossover, giving him a pointedly cocky, belligerent look. The leaning forward grille and flatter hood added a fair amount of dashing to the car. Rear lights with characteristic L-shaped light elements acquired a family resemblance to the optics of the “three” and “five”, and the complex pattern formed by the bends and folds of the tailgate and bumper modernized back"X-Fifth", which looked slightly curvy and angular in its predecessors.
Lines of vyshtampovki rapidly scatter from the aerodynamic "gills" on the front fenders. The clearance was sacrificed for handling, which decreased by 13 mm. And in general, the car became lower by 14 mm, added 32 mm in length, and 5 mm in width.
Interior, seating comfort and capacity
At first glance, the front panel does not seem to have changed much. However, in reality this is not the case at all. First of all, it became lower, displacing the multimedia system monitor onto the surface of the dashboard, like in the 3rd series, allowing it to “push apart” its diagonal to 10.2 inches. At the same time, the height of the front part of the panel has decreased, which made it more elegant - it now seems to be peeking out from under the gently curved cover.
Accordingly, the air ducts of the ventilation system have become thinner - of course, not to the detriment of performance. instrument panel with separate dials for fuel level and coolant temperature gauges - again, as on the 3rd series. The salon runs around the perimeter LED lights, the color of which can be changed at will.
On one side of the automatic transmission selector, the keys for controlling the chassis settings and other systems have settled, on the other, the plump puck of the new I-Drive, which has taken over the touch panel. Bavarians, like Stuttgarters, seem to be firmly convinced that poking your finger directly at the monitor screen is not only not aesthetically pleasing, but also unsafe, since the touch screen distracts attention from the road.
More on the little things: the buttons for the electric windows and mirrors have moved from the soft part of the armrests forward to the plastic base. The stowage pockets in the doors have expanded, suggesting the placement of more voluminous items in them - however, as it seemed to us, such an upgrade could be a little confusing for overly full or long-legged riders.
Although the base, like the track, has not undergone any changes with the change of generations, the interior of the car, nevertheless, provides the inhabitants of the front seats with 11 mm more space in the shoulders and 31 mm above the crown. Rear Passengers remained practically at their own, and in terms of air supply over their heads they even turned out to be offended by 6 mm, however, with solid internal dimensions crossover hardly anyone will notice. But the trunk has increased in volume by 30 liters, and with the sofa folded - and in general by all 120 liters. In addition, for some 115,124 rubles, a double third row of seats can be installed in a car. So we can safely say: the interior of the X5 has become more spectacular, more comfortable and more functional.
Dynamics and economy
As we have repeatedly noted, the Bavarians are in no hurry to bring all the modifications to the market at once. So far, cars with only three engines can be purchased in Russia: a 4.4-liter petrol and two 3-liter diesel engines. The power of the V-shaped "eight" has grown by no less than 10%, and the torque has increased by almost the same amount. Up to a hundred, a car with this engine accelerates half a second faster, and consumes much less fuel - by 1.3 liters on the highway and (hard to believe!) By 3.5 liters in the city.
Diesel engines are not so far away from their predecessors, but they can still show something to the discerning buyer. Modification 30d with an additional four "horses" is faster by 0.7 s, and at the same time saves from 1.0 to 1.7 liters, depending on the rhythm of movement. As for the heart of the M50d badged triple-turbo car, it gets to 100 km/h 0.1 seconds faster and consumes 0.6 liters less fuel on the freeway and 1.2 liters less in city traffic.
No doubt in soon the Bavarians will delight us with cars armed with the famous in-line "six" in the 35i version, as well as the most powerful X5M. As for diesel power unit about four cylinders with a capacity of 218 horsepower or an exotic rear-wheel drive "S-Drive-25d", already on sale in Germany, then we are unlikely to see them.
Budget
Since not the cheapest versions were the first to arrive on the Russian market, it will still be difficult to make a correct comparison of the old and new generations in terms of price and equipment. However, the trend is somehow clear. The old 30d cost 72 thousand less than the new one, and was distinguished by its lack of a start-stop system, adaptive cruise control and bluetooth with USB. However, the asset of the "old man" included partial electric adjustment of the front seats - so it's a draw. The petrol 50i was sold at a price of 3,718,000 rubles, but now you will have to pay 3,800,000 for it, that is, 82 thousand more. As for the M50d, the difference between the E70 and F15 generations (from 4,295,000) is exactly 95,000 rubles. Of course, if the car were to suddenly become miraculously cheaper, that would be great; and yet a rise in price of two and a half percent in this class can be considered insignificant - approximately this amount will cost you, for example, a projection display.
Safety
The last time Euro NCAP smashed the X5 was a long time ago in 2003; besides, it was a car of the generation before last. However, there is no doubt that the Bavarian crossover is really safe. Let it be only 6%, but the torsional rigidity of the body still increased. Let's leave behind the scenes perfect handling and excellent driving performance car and contact basic equipment. It includes all the necessary electronic systems, six airbags, Servotronic and run-flat tires. For some money, you can install a night vision system with a dynamic backlight function and a range of up to 300 m, a parking assistant, video cameras in a circle or an automatic high beam control system.
We decided
It is a pity that the price of a car with a change of generations has not remained at the same level, although it would be too presumptuous to expect such a turn of events. In any case, a slight increase in price fully pays off due to a successful elegant design, an even more comfortable stylish interior, as well as engines that have noticeably added both in dynamics and in efficiency.
BMW X5, 2018
Looking at the new BMW X5, outwardly, a new round of evolution is immediately felt. When I got into the salon, I immediately realized that this was a new technological leap. Fewer buttons and a new level of ergonomics. And what is especially pleasant, I had the feeling that the salon of the new X, as it were, says "I'm the whole owner for your convenience." It seems that the dashboard is directly closer and more deployed to the driver. Some amazing combination of spacious and at the same time cozy, friendly and technological interior. Further. Soundproofing is very well thought out. It is better than it was in all my previous BMWs. It's like being in a cocoon. You start the engine and at low speeds it is even almost inaudible. Go. This is where the main thrill begins. Forgotten feeling “I’m sitting high, I’m looking far away. And a cool feeling - food on a large and high featherbed. Only the Seven had such comfort, but the BMW X5 also had a high seating position. I don't have pneumonia. But I'm not a hunter-fisherman, I don't need it, and the comfort on springs and even a run-flat is fabulous. I don’t know how the Bavarians managed to do this, but the suspension is really very thoroughbred in its innate splendor. And coupled with chic soundproofing, it’s generally “relaxation” from everything that’s going on outside the window and on the road. I even hope that I don’t have to lower X after installing 22 wheels for a cool look, I really don’t want to lose today’s fabulous comfort. Favorite engine 30d - song. Perhaps after 150 km / h his playfulness will decrease, but in the city he is simply king. My last gasoline 35i on the F15 was driving the same 6.5 seconds according to the passport, but the sensations were not at all the same. Even the 50i on the X6 didn't ride as nicely as the 30d. Gasoline rides after a good push on the gas pedal and a second of thoughtfulness, and on a diesel engine, a light touch on the pedal is enough, and there is always a lot of pleasant and elastic traction under the foot. I am very happy that I got a BMW X5 with laser headlights, this is only the luck of the first batch, they will not bet more on 30d. The BMW X5 now really has the best best light, and in the "long distance" it is priceless. Before I put the BMW X5 in the studio, they didn’t have time to register navigation maps for me, but from the photo and video it’s cool.
Advantages : appearance. High tech. Noise isolation. Diesel 30d. Laser lights.
Flaws : No.

BMW X5, 2018
Hi all. It is difficult to compare the new BMW X5 with the F15 - they are different. The engine - a 3-liter diesel steel is a little more cheerful, but I will make a chip after running in. Suspension - "pneuma" is a fairy tale on 20 "runflats", as on a sofa, when switching to sports, it lowers the car. Shumka - either my ears are stuffed up, or it has become much better. Exhaust - worth it exhaust system M sport, the dealer himself does not know what it is. Empirically, I realized that when switching to sports, she begins to growl. How it is implemented on a diesel - I do not understand. Tidying, navigation - I did not like the navigation, tidying is a credit. Lane control system - turned off for now (behaves very aggressively). The film has not tightened yet, the first wash was not.
Advantages : dynamics. Air suspension. Comfort. The quality of everything.
Flaws : It's hard to say.

BMW X5, 2018
What we have: BMW X5 3.0 liter diesel 249 forces. Frankly, these fillies will be faster than the previous ones. Driving along the highway Krasnoyarsk - Kyzyl (something about 800 km) showed the car from all sides. Today, the mileage has exceeded 1200 km. Engine. It is enough for the eyes, the craving is felt constantly. You barely press on the gas and do not notice how you scored 140 and, in principle, you can continue to climb, but running. Therefore, you set a limit of 140 and go to yourself calmly. Average consumption got 10 liters. But just because enough passes, where the car is coming in tension. Suspension. "Pneuma". It is softer, if the road is even, smooth, then you are not driving, you are swimming. However, like all pneumatics that I have tried to ride, she does not like sharp edges at joints and cracks. At speed, you notice this more than at city speeds. But still, the suspension in comparison with the previous body differs dramatically. And I really like her. It is knocked down, you are not afraid to go fast, the car stands on the trajectory like a glove. Noise isolation. I have single windows, but I can say that even with them the car is more comfortable than its predecessor. Salon. This is something with something, whoever scolded the new tidy, it's cool. Yes, maybe in the VAG concern there it is more informative, but at the same time it is overloaded. Here everything is in its place. Even the tachometer you get used to quickly. Interior lighting. In the evening it is divine. The interior trims made of wood look very cool, and I am very glad that they are not glossy. The front seats are comfortable and with massage. I drove almost all the way with a massage. Landing in the car has become higher, hence the sense of speed is lost. You go 120-140, but you don't see it. The feeling is that you are driving 80. So for now I can summarize: the car is gorgeous. Naturally my opinion and on my car.
Advantages : luxury car in everything. Comfort. Control. Dynamics.
Flaws : No.
