"Confirmed the look, eh?" How is not the familiar angel eye headlights."
On April 13, the BMW Group officially released the new BMW X7, and this revision is very violent, comparable to the replacement, especially in the "lamp", BMW X7 made a big fuss.
At the first glance, you will see that the angel eyes that originally contained the pulse of the emotion have become a split light group, the narrow LED daytime running lights look sharp and energetic, and the near and far lights below use a blackening treatment, when it does not work, it is integrated with the front bumper. BMW said that this is the latest family design language, and similar designs will be applied to more products in the future.
Compared with the current model, the new BMW X7's 3D stereostemporal LED taillights have also been more finely sculpted, in addition to the blackening treatment, there are diamond-shaped patterns on both sides of the taillights, which are more textured. The chrome decoration of the taillights is covered with glass, and the shape is more slender.
In addition, in terms of appearance alone, the new BMW X7 has many "firsts", such as the first time equipped with a dazzling light curtain grille with a waterfall-like lighting effect; the first time to provide a domineering 23-inch aluminum alloy wheels on a production car, and the changes made in the visible places of the naked eye are also the former insurance, using a shape similar to "fangs".
In terms of size: the current BMW X7 is 5163mm, 2000mm, 1835mm, and the wheelbase is 3105mm; the new BMW X7 is 5162mm, 2000mm, 1819mm, and the wheelbase is 3105mm, and the parameters have not changed much.
Inside, the interior of the new BMW X7 has also undergone drastic reforms. The original 12.3-inch LCD instrument cluster + 12.3-inch central control screen combination has been upgraded to a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel + 14.9-inch central control screen composed of an integrated suspended curved screen.
And in the current model there is still a sense of physical buttons have been further simplified, chicken leg gear handle replaced by a crystal texture lever, air conditioning outlet has also been newly designed, cleverly with the "X7" logo of the atmosphere light strip integration, this futuristic atmosphere full of interior style is infinitely close to pure electric products, ritual sense, as well as covering three rows of seats of the starry sky panoramic sunroof and intelligent induction atmosphere lights.
In addition, the OTA upgrade function becomes an RSU remote software upgrade, allowing the new BMW X7 to unlock new features anytime, anywhere.
Based on UWB ultra-broadband technology, even if you don't pull out the mobile phone in the bag, BMW digital key Plus can help you unlock and start the car safely, that is to say, even if we have a left hand coffee and a right hand dessert, we can easily enter the car without taking out the car key.
In the new BMW X7 cabin, every passenger is a supreme VIP, and the third row not only has seat heating, but also enjoys individual sunroofs, individual air conditioning, and Bowers & Wilkins 3D diamond surround sound system to benefit all passengers' hearing.
In terms of intelligent driving assistance, the new BMW X7 is also on par with the BMW iX, equipped with the automatic driving assistance system Pro, which integrates multiple functions such as active cruise control, traffic congestion assistance, lane correction, and emergency braking assistance, and the automatic parking assistance system Pro with the following reversing function.
In fact, the track reversing function is not uncommon, but most of the products on the track reversing function can usually only record a distance of about 50 meters, and the new BMW X7's tracking and reversing function is extended to 200 meters, which is also the first time that BMW fuel vehicles are equipped with this function, which was first used in the pure electric BMW iX M60.
On the new BMW X7, there will also be a new M60i to replace the position of the existing M50i flagship model, and in terms of power, the current BMW X7 40i is equipped with a 3.0T L6 turbo engine with a maximum engine of 250kW and a peak torque of 450N·m, and the M50i flagship model is equipped with a 4.4T V8 turbo engine with a maximum engine of 390kW and a peak torque of 750N·m.
The new BMW X7 40i model will continue to be equipped with this 3.0T engine, M60i will inherit the 4.4T V8 engine, the difference is that BMW is equipped with a 48V mix system, it seems that under the trend of energy saving and emission reduction, large displacement engines also have to be equipped with a "burden reduction small assistant", not long ago listed 2022 revised BMW X6 xDrive 40i model is also equipped with 3.0T + 48V light hybrid combination.
For the power system of the new BMW X7, there are two data worth mentioning: one is the transmission, the entire series of models are matched with the Steptronic 8-speed manual transmission; the other is the M60i model to achieve 0-100km/h only 4.7S, after all, it is a V8 engine, and the performance is reasonable.
BMW is most proud of their achievements in chassis and handling, as a flagship SUV, the new BMW X7 has also been exclusively tuned, and equipped with adaptive dual-axis air suspension, xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive system, and electronically controlled rear axle differential lock, in the wild, whether you are facing a muddy mountain road after the rain, or the ice and snow road in the cold winter of the desert or the endless desert of Turpan, the new BMW X7 can take you across it easily.
The innovative magic carpet intelligent air suspension system with the overall active steering system allows this "big guy" with a length of more than 5 meters to be more flexible and maneuver on every road, without fear of continuous bending.
To some extent, in addition to still using gasoline as the main source of power, the design and technology of the new BMW X7 is basically moving closer to pure electric products, which is BMW's catering to the trend of intelligence and networking, and the strong future atmosphere makes the new BMW X7 have a completely different temperament from the current model, as a fuel vehicle, this is a big breakthrough.
