The pure electric flagship model in the new energy market seems that every manufacturer has a product to hand, especially the domestic head of the new power brand, almost every car is a flagship, which is the situation that traditional luxury car companies do not want to see, but they cannot use the same level of fuel vehicles to suppress. Of course, for its own development, we must also make every effort to transform new energy.
BMW, in fact, in 1972, has already launched their first new energy vehicle. However, due to the technology at that time, the endurance of this car was a big problem. Fast forward to 2014, the BMW i3 created a record of 30,000 units as soon as it was listed. With the recent official release of BMW's new i3, its new generation BMW i7 has gradually surfaced.
It is reported that the new generation of BMW 7 Series and the electric version of the i7 sedan will be launched worldwide on April 14. At that time, BMW will hold a global launch ceremony in Munich, Beijing and New York, and foreign media expect that the first to be released this time is the BMW i7 xDrive60 model, with a comprehensive CRUI of about 483km in EPA conditions.
Judging from the trailer, the iconic double kidney grille equipped with this i7 is actually not only getting bigger, but also seems to have increased in width, which makes it look more rounded, and the future may not be called "double kidney", but "pig nose". A strip of lights has also been added around the grille, and the illuminated design makes it look even more striking. Overall, bmw i7 and fuel version of the new 7 series model is not much difference, its biggest feature, is the BMW i7 squinting headlights, as for the audience can accept, but also depends on the market reaction after the new car is listed.
In terms of configuration, the BMW i7 will be equipped with the BMW cinema mode in-car entertainment system released at the CES2022 exhibition, which can be expressed from the rear row, and the huge 31-inch through-screen will be set behind the front seats, with 8K resolution; providing 5G networking. It is worth mentioning that in this photo, it can also be found that the roof of the BMW i7 is used, similar to the design of the Rolls-Royce Starlight Peak, but it adopts the spoke intersection style, which creates a strong sense of grade visually.
Regarding the BMW i7, foreign media believe that xDrive 60 is not the strongest model of BMW i7, in the previous interview with BMW's chief technology officer, the official revealed that the most powerful 7 series in the future will be pure electric, so foreign media also speculate that there may be a more powerful version on top of the BMW i7 xDrive 60.
