The trend of electrification is unstoppable, Mercedes-Benz EQS has been listed abroad, and the old rival BMW is late. A few days ago, BMW officially released the i7 test spy photos in hot areas to test the performance of batteries and power systems in high temperature areas. In addition, the car is expected to be officially unveiled next year.
The appearance of the body is wrapped in a thick layer of camouflage, it is gratifying that the BMW i7 still does a slender front shape, personally feel that as a flagship model, a long front is necessary, mercedes-Benz EQS front is too short, lack of aura. The double kidney intake at the front of the car is also expected to be retained, similar in style to the i4. If you look closely at the headlight part, it seems to adopt a split design, which is consistent with the previous conjecture, and everyone has to adapt.
The body proportion is similar to the fuel version of the 7 Series, and it can be found that unlike the rounded style of the Mercedes-Benz EQ series, the lines of the BMW i7 are still relatively tough, and the bulge above the tail box cover is more obvious, which can't help but remind people of the 7 Series of the Bangor era.
In terms of model planning, the entry model of the BMW i7 is the i740, followed by the i750, and the top version is the i7 M60 (the model adjusted by the M Performance Automobile division). In the power part, the new car is equipped with the fifth generation of eDrive electric drive technology, the maximum power of the i740 may reach 400kW, and the i7 M60 may reach 484kW. In terms of battery life, the battery pack capacity of the i740 and i750 is 80kWh to 100kWh, of which the longest battery life of the 80kWh battery is 470km; the battery capacity of the i7 M60 is 120kWh, and the longest battery life may exceed 650km.
GO Car Jun comments: Unlike Mercedes-Benz's new design in the electric era, BMW's electric products still maintain the contours of some fuel vehicles. The BMW i7 is about to debut, and will compete with the Mercedes-Benz EQS, which one are you optimistic about?
