I've always thought of Rolls-Royce's appearance as the pinnacle of existence, especially Gust and Phantom. Its full and three-dimensional front is decorated with the "Parthenon", the central net is vertical to the ground, the waist line is raised from the back to the front, and the posture of holding its head high is full of aura. This aura is not only brought about by the brand and large size, but also inseparable from the design.
The new BMW 7 Series and i7 are more like Rolls-Royce. BMW officially said that the design of the new 7 Series was inspired by China, and Chinese users prefer this boxy front, as a global model, users all over the world also like this posture. Undoubtedly, the appearance of this generation of BMW 7 Series has evolved very successfully, quite Rolls-Royce-like three-dimensional, full, which is what the flagship should look like.
The success of the design is not only reflected in the posture, but also the evolution of the details of the front of the car has also added a lot to it. First, the split headlight, the first sight of it is associated with Rolls-Royce, careful comparison of photos found that it is not the same, it cleverly achieved "shape is not similar but god-like". According to a user survey conducted by a website, "What are the changes in the new generation 7 series that impressed you?" 52% of netizens voted for the split headlight design. On the other hand, 35% of users also believe that they are impressed by the large-mouth grille that emits light.
Canceling 2.0T was the right decision. How can a flagship sedan with a length of nearly 5 meters 4 use a 2.0T engine? The calm low torque brought by the six cylinders is unmatched by the four cylinders, and the experience of the low-power six-cylinder 3.0T is certainly better than the high-power four-cylinder 2.0T. The whole series of 7 series will have three types of fuel, plug-in hybrid and pure electric, the fuel version of the model is equipped with a 3.0T inline six-cylinder engine and a new V8 engine, the 3.0T engine is divided into low and high power, the maximum power is 286/380 horsepower, the maximum power of the 4.4T V8 engine is 544 horsepower; the plug-in hybrid version of the M760e xDrive adopts a hybrid system composed of an in-line six-cylinder engine and a motor, with a maximum power of 571 horsepower; the maximum power of the pure electric version is 544 horsepower. Maximum torque 745 Nm, 0-100 km/h acceleration of 4.7 s, cruising range of 625 km.
More luxurious is also manifested in the configuration, the new car is equipped with a 12.3-inch + 14.9-inch dual screen, built-in iDrive8 operating system. In terms of luxury, it takes the crystal decoration a step further, which is in harmony with wood trim panels and carbon fiber trim panels. Equipped with a new dual-spoke steering wheel and HUD head-up display, it offers an L3 driver assistance system.
The rear provides a 31-inch 8K panoramic display, and the rear entertainment control panel at the door handle makes it easier for the two passengers in the rear row to operate than the current Pad. The rear seat leg rest supports greater angle adjustment for a further improvement in the rear seat ride.
The size is further enlarged. The length, width and height of the new 7 series are 5391*1950*1544mm, the wheelbase is 3215mm, which surpasses the current 7 series Li in all directions (the new 7 series no longer distinguishes between the standard shaft and the long shaft version, only produces the long shaft), and its three dimensions also exceed the current Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Audi A8.
The new BMW 7 Series and i7 will be available worldwide in November, with plug-in hybrid versions coming next year.
