Recently, we obtained the latest spy photos of the new BMW 7 series from relevant channels, the car will be launched in the world in 2022, the new platform will allow the simultaneous production of internal combustion engines and pure electric models, according to BMW's naming rules, pure electric models may be called "i7", competitors lock Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Audi A8L and other products of the same level.
In terms of design, the new BMW 7 Series will have a revolutionary difference, that is, the split headlights in the front part of the face, which was used by the Jeep Free Light a few years ago and has recently been widely used by Lynk & Co and Hyundai's products will also appear on BMW, and the new car may also have a larger double kidney grille.
In addition, the latest new BMW 7 series spy photos, but also for us to reveal the headlights and tail lights when lit up, the front of the split headlights may be above the LED daytime lights, below the lights, the tail can see the taillight shape is more slender, through the spy photo, it is speculated that there may not be a penetrating LED light source design.
In detail, the new car will feature the same brand new style of door handles as the iX. Viewed from the side, the cabin part of the vehicle is very long, while the rear is relatively short. The design of the rear of the car is very simple, and it is expected that the production model will use slender light clusters with geometric polylines to highlight the three-dimensional and technological sense. In addition, the road test also adopted a four-out exhaust layout on both sides.
In addition to the exterior design, through the previous spy photos, we also saw for the first time what the interior part of the new car looked like, with a separate huge display in the center and not connected to the dashboard.
According to the future design trend previously revealed by BMW, this part should use a curved dual screen design similar to the iX. Therefore, in this part, whether the new 7 series is a new design style that will create the future, or continue the iX design elements, still needs continuous attention.
In terms of power, the new car will provide gasoline and diesel engines, it is expected that the future will be a six-cylinder engine as the main force, the current model of 6.6T V12 engine or will not be available, while the 48-volt light mix system will most likely appear as standard, will also launch a PHEV plug-in hybrid model.
The pure electric version of the "i7" will use BMW's latest eDrive electric drive technology, may be equipped with a 105 kWh battery pack used in the iX pure electric SUV, the maximum mileage is expected to reach 700 kilometers, and may launch a single-motor rear-drive and dual-motor four-wheel drive version, and finally a high-performance "M" series model.
