宝马博客近日刊登了一张下一代5系车合成图，该车将于今年晚些时候正式发布。某些人会说，下一代5系更像一辆改款车型而非全新车型。另一些人会说，它更像一辆缩水版的7系。不过，不管怎么说，这张550i版本合成图采用了选装的M Sport套装，确实提升了外观吸引力。7系车那种渐进式改款设计似乎更适合新一代5系更小的车身比例和更短的前后悬。从先前拍到的谍照看，新一代5系采用了更具运动感外观，不管由于外观过于平庸，还是受到一些人的批评。合成图似乎更接近于真实的量产版车型，再有几个月（很可能是在10月的巴黎车展），宝马就将发布新一代5系轿车，随后是旅行车和GT车型，后者从谍照看，外观比现行版更漂亮。

 

2017 BMW 5 Series render looks pretty sweet

Our friends at BMWBLOG have published a speculative render of the next-generation 5 Series set to go official later this year.

 

You probably have seen your fair share of spy pics with the all-new 5 Series (G30), so you pretty much know what to expect from BMW’s highly anticipated midsize sedan. Some will say that it looks like a facelifted version of the outgoing model while others will describe it as a downsized 7 Series. Call it what you want, we certainly like what we’re seeing in this speculative render of a 550i version fitted with the optional M Sport Package.

 

We feel the evolutionary design of the 7 Series will probably suit the new 5 Series better given the sedan’s smaller proportions with shorter overhangs. Even though BMW’s designers are playing it safe, spy photos have shown the new 5 will adopt a sportier appearance compared to the outgoing model which has been criticized by some for looking a tad plain.

 

The attached render is probably as close to the real deal as possible, but we’ll know that for sure in the coming months when BMW will finally reveal the next-gen 5 Series Sedan. It will be followed a few months later by the more practical Touring and after that by a new Gran Turismo (GT) which judging by spy shots is shaping up to be far better looking than the current, slow-selling car.

 

A public debut of the sedan is set for early October at the Paris Motor Show, but maybe BMW will be kind enough to share pics online earlier than that. Here's hoping.
