At the BMW Group's annual financial report in 2022, the brand officially announced that the new generation of 7 Series sedans and pure electric versions of the i7 will usher in their world debut at the Beijing Auto Show in April. Recently, BMW's official website in the United States has announced more technical details about the mileage and configuration of the i7 model.

According to the website, the first model of the i7 will be a four-wheel drive version of the xDrive60 model, although the official has not yet announced any power details, but some foreign media predict that the new car will most likely share a battery pack with a capacity of 105.2kWh with the iX xDrive50 model, which is also consistent with the performance data disclosed on the official website that the mileage will exceed 300 miles (about 482 kilometers).
On the i7, the BMW brand's double kidney mesh design features will be further amplified, while being equipped with a silhouette light strip similar to the mid-8 series revamp. At the same time, the new car is equipped with LED crystal headlights, and the interior introduces the cinema-grade rear entertainment system released by BMW at CES2022, where the entertainment central control screen with a size of up to 31 inches is not only very eye-catching, but also supports 8K resolution and 5G networking. However, the 100% detail design may not be revealed until the official unveiling.
Earlier BMW technicians said in an interview that the future of the full series of 7 series flagship models will be pure electric drive, so many foreign media speculate that the xDrive60 unveiled this time is not the strongest version, and BMW may launch a more powerful i7 model in the future.
