The new version is now available in the Czech Republic,⁤ priced from ⁣1.525 million crowns, a 225,000 crown increase over the top-spec Long Range⁤ AWD model. Optional extras include premium⁤ colors (33,000 - 66,000 crowns), ‌a towing device (36,000 crowns), a white interior (32,000 crowns), and ‍the enhanced Autopilot driving assistant (100,000 -⁢ 200,000 crowns).‍ A fully equipped Model Y Performance can reach ⁤a total‌ cost of 1.884 million crowns.

For ‌comparison, the Audi SQ8⁢ E-tron starts at 2.505 million crowns, the Porsche Macan⁤ 4S at 2.339 million crowns, and the Mercedes-Benz EQE 500 4MATIC at ⁢2.32 million crowns, positioning the Model Y Performance as a⁢ competitively priced option ‌within the high-performance electric SUV ‍segment.

The report, published by German publication Auto Bild on November 28, 2023, indicates a higher rate of defects compared to its main competitors, the Audi A6 and Mercedes-benz E-Class.

The TÜV report, based on data from over 9 million vehicle inspections conducted in 2023, revealed that the BMW 5 Series, while offering a premium driving experiance, consistently ranked lower in reliability than its German rivals. Specifically, the G30 generation (2017-present) experienced issues related to its complex electronic systems and suspension components.The older E60 (2003-2010) and F10 (2010-2017) generations showed a higher incidence of problems with engine components and electrical systems.

Key Findings from the TÜV Report:

Overall ranking: The BMW 5 Series consistently placed behind the Audi A6 and Mercedes-Benz E-Class in terms of defect rates.
G30 Generation (2017-present): reported issues included problems with the iDrive infotainment system,adaptive cruise control,and air suspension.
F10 Generation (2010-2017): Common defects involved turbocharger failures, oil leaks, and issues with the cooling system.
E60 Generation (2003-2010): Frequent problems where identified with the Valvetronic system, window regulators, and electrical connectors.

Despite these findings, the BMW 5 Series remains a popular choice in the used car market. Tho, potential buyers are advised to thoroughly inspect vehicles, notably focusing on the areas identified as problematic in the TÜV report.A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is highly recommended.
