Most netizens claim that the BMW X6 is the originator of the coupe SUV. However, judging from the launch time, the Infiniti FX series did come out earlier than the BMW X6, but it is not as well-known as the BMW X6. Even many young people do not know it at all. I know Infiniti also has an FX series. When the first generation X6 was launched, if you randomly interviewed 100 people, it is estimated that 90 people would not be able to get the point of it. At that time, SUVs still had some "hardcore" attributes in the hearts of Chinese people. When the time comes to now, X6 can definitely suit the aesthetics of most young people. PS: A former colleague told the editor: If I drive an X6 and tell others I have no money, they won’t believe it (dog head)
In the headlight test column of the last issue of Audi Q8, the editor of Feilu Auto mentioned the conclusion that "LED headlights of models without laser headlights shine farther". Some netizens in the background did not understand this statement and thought that lasers The headlights are YYDS. For this reason, the editor found a BMW X6 again. This big-roof X6 comes standard with laser headlights. In this issue, we will once again verify the authenticity of this conclusion.
Model: 2022 facelift xDrive40i exclusive M sports package
Light source: Both high and low beams are LED Features: Matrix, adaptive high and low beams, laser
Car light quotation: The headlight quotation of the test model is 49,000 yuan. This quotation comes from the after-sales order price of the 4S store, which is the price at which everyone buys a car light. The price is indeed not cheap. The single headlight of the Mercedes-Benz S500L we tested before cost 43,500 yuan. However, the Audi Q7, which also has laser headlights, is priced at 58,000 yuan, which is nearly 130,000 yuan cheaper than the X6. From this point of view, the headlights of Audi models in the BBA are really expensive. Of course, friends who follow Feilv's car headlight test column all know that the price of headlights is not necessarily directly proportional to their actual level.
Lamp group composition & configuration analysis:
In the BMW X7 headlight test content, the editor mentioned that "a sparrow is small but has all the internal organs." Have you noticed that the overall size of the headlight set of this generation of BMW models is not large, and the design language emphasizes the edge. The same goes for the X6. The structure of the headlight unit does not look complicated (compared to Mercedes-Benz), but it has all the functions it should have. Being able to achieve the above functions in such a "small" area is not only a test for designers, but also for suppliers. There are strict requirements for technical skills. PS: BMW’s headlights are so recognizable that the “angel eye feature” can easily put them back into BMW’s product lineup at a glance.
If you want to choose laser headlights on the 2.0T model, it will cost 16,400 yuan. Both 3.0T models are equipped with laser headlights as standard. The unique blue embellishment in the shape of the laser headlights is like wearing a pair of contact lenses for the LED headlights. This is an additional reason why some friends want to install them later. The low beam is at the top and the high beam is at the bottom. There are four LEDs for the low beam and the high beam respectively. The upper part is a lens LED low beam, and the lower part is a reflective LED high beam, which is integrated into one body and has follow-up steering and ADB shielding functions.
The taillights of this generation of X6 are so recognizable! The long and narrow design is about to form a through-type, and the lines of the taillights are very layered. The design uses the design to increase the visual center of gravity of the tail a lot, making the X6's buttocks look extremely plump. The "big butt" shape is also a major selling point of the X6, both for the first-generation model and the third-generation model.
Look at this picture, the rear 45° position of the X6 is very handsome whether it is stopped or moving! (If you don’t believe me, you can look at the picture at the end.) The proportions are extremely coordinated and it looks solid enough. Many models blindly follow the trend and launch Coupe versions, but the actual cars are not satisfactory.
The double-kidney grille of the BMW X6 also incorporates luminous light strips. The visual effect when lit up at night is very brilliant, and the shape of the double kidneys also makes it easy for people to know from the rearview mirror that this is a BMW, X5 and X7 None of them have this configuration, so there is no possibility of bumping into each other at night.
When the car door is unlocked, the angel-wing welcome lights will shine on the ground, bringing a rainbow-like light carpet, which is very ceremonial.
In terms of interior atmosphere, in fact, BMW's models in the past two years are no longer as unattractive as they used to be. Although they are not as high-profile as Mercedes-Benz, the editor of Feilu Auto thinks that BMW's current ambient lights will be more comfortable to look at overall and will not feel uncomfortable. It's too exaggerated, but the colors of the ambient lights are still 11, which is a little less!
Car light brightness measurement unit: Lux (Lux)
Definition: When an object is uniformly illuminated by light and the luminous flux obtained on an area of 1 square meter is 1 lumen, its illumination (light intensity) is 1 Lux.
Note: In the actual test of Feiling Auto, in a dark room, an ordinary candle is lit, and when the human eye is 30cm away from the candle flame, the light intensity experienced is 10Lux.
In the aspect of car light irradiation distance, we take the brightness of 10Lux as the minimum illumination limit, and take the distance value when this brightness is reached, which is the end point of irradiation for the final measured headlight score. 20cm is generally the minimum height of the vehicle's front bumper from the ground. We choose this position as the lowest position illuminated by the light. The distance from this position to the headlights is the illumination distance.
Illumination distance test:
Low beam: a proper 90-point answer sheet
Generally speaking, most car models have a farther illumination distance on the right side, and many friends don’t quite understand why. The lighting standard used in China is the European standard. This standard stipulates that the dipped beam on the left side has a lower angle than the dipped beam on the right side. The purpose is to prevent the driver's sight of the oncoming car from being affected when driving. The left side of the headlight The side is lower than the right, which gives people the illusion that the left is dark and the right is bright. But in fact, if you squat down and take a look, you will find that there is no difference in brightness.
The BMW X6's overall low-beam performance is pretty good. When the low-beam exceeds 50 meters, it can score 90 points. For comparison, the Audi Q8 we tested in the last issue has a low beam score of only 38.3 meters, which is not good enough when compared with the X6. However, the BMW X7's low beam can reach 72 meters, which is also the most powerful low beam performance in the headlight test column. Dolly.
High beam: "The LED high beam of models with laser headlights generally does not illuminate that far." This conclusion is true!
The high-beam performance of the X6 is average among this class of models. In fact, the editor of Feilv Auto had already predicted the approximate high-beam performance of the X6 before the test. There are two reasons: one is based on the results of previously tested BMW models, and the other is based on the results of previously tested BMW models. One is based on the experience that "models with laser headlights generally do not illuminate that far with LED high beams." It can be understood here that with laser headlights, LED high beams do not need to shine so far, because when encountering a scene with no visible light, the laser headlights will turn on, and the illumination distance is 2-3 times that of LED high beams. But: The conditions for turning on laser headlights are extremely strict. The laser headlights can only be activated when the speed is high enough and no visible light can be seen ahead. There are too few such scenes in China. Even on highways without street lights, it will When encountering a vehicle driving ahead, even if there is no car, there is a high probability that there will be villages or luminous buildings around. The editor has personally encountered road sections in China that meet the conditions for turning on laser headlights, which are some relatively remote highway sections in the northwest. To sum up, the role of laser headlights is not great in domestic road conditions.
BMW X6 headlight test overview:
Features: Adaptive high and low beams
(Picture: Mercedes-Benz EQS adaptive high and low beam, which can be said to be the benchmark at present)
Adaptive high and low beams can be said to be the configuration that can best improve the user experience and be the most useful among current headlight functions. The principles used by major brands on the market are roughly the same, but the difference in experience is quite obvious. For models with adaptive high beams, when the high beams are avoiding vehicles, the shading effect is basically the same (in the extension of the headlights and the vehicle) On the line, the entire sector area is black). Those with higher precision and better effects, such as the Mercedes-Benz EQS we tested in the last issue, have intelligent digital headlights that can achieve a "one-piece" shading effect, which is full of dazzling effects. But in fact, no matter what kind of effect it is, it is enough to achieve accurate recognition and timely response.
What is certain is that the X6's camera recognition efficiency is very high. After the adaptive mode is turned on, the illuminated area in front of the vehicle can be directly avoided, and the avoidance function realizes zone avoidance. Even if there are street lights, some dark areas, such as signage lights, will be lit individually. The automatic high beam will be turned on when the speed reaches 60km/h, and will be turned off automatically when the speed drops to 50km/h. Whether there are street lights or dim environments, the adaptive function is very easy to use.
Edit summary:
Everyone must have understood the conclusion that "LED headlights of models without laser headlights shine farther". Simply put, for models equipped with laser headlights, the LED high beam "doesn't have to be" that far, because it really depends on the environment. When the laser headlights are activated, the irradiation distance can reach 2-3 times. For models not equipped with laser headlights, the LED high beam is usually farther away to meet the sight requirements in dim environments. Generally speaking, you don’t need to worry too much about the configuration of laser headlights for this level of cars. After all, in 99% of domestic environments, laser headlights are difficult to activate. The X6's high-beam irradiation distance is not powerful, but it is good enough in terms of intelligent functions. To judge whether a car light is useful or not, irradiation distance is one of them, but you cannot judge a hero based on distance alone. Actual experience is the most important factor. important part. A final reminder: Friends who have left messages in the headlight test column, we have secretly written down the cars you want to see in a small notebook, and we will continue to find cars for you to test.
