Not long ago, the BMW Group just released the new BMW X7, and within a few days, the other members of BMW's "7 font" - the fuel version of the new BMW 7 series, the innovative BMW i7 also came.
Previously, when the new BMW X7 was released, BMW had said that the new design language would be used in more products, and now in the new BMW 7 series, BMW has verified its own statement with practical actions.
In terms of design, the new BMW 7 Series and the innovative BMW i7 have a very similar appearance as "sister models" that use different energy sources as power, but there are still differences in detail.
First of all, the split headlights replace the previous "angel eyes", the new crystal daytime running lights look more aggressive, in addition, the new BMW 7 Series is also very aware of "social etiquette", when you approach, its circular flare grille, crystal daytime running lights and ink rhythm welcome light blanket and the light and shadow elements in the car will be lit up in turn, giving people enough noodles, it is difficult not to love.
The rear window and 3D stereoscopic suspended LED taillights add matrix geometric dark grain, making the new BMW 7 Series even more memorable.
In order to show the identity of the innovative BMW i7 pure electric product, its double kidney grille has been replaced by a closed shape, and the front and rear logos are decorated with blue elements, and the lower side of the air intake, side skirt and tail deflector can also be equipped with optional blue decorative parts.
Inside, high-end materials such as natural cashmere, brilliant crystals, and perforated wood trim highlight the new BMW 7's sense of class as a million-dollar luxury car. At the same time, the new BMW 7 Series follows the principle of "Shy Tech" stealth technology, with a very simplified approach to highlight the sense of technology in the cabin.
Not only is there a 12.3-inch instrument + 14.9-inch touch-type central control screen in the front row composed of an integrated floating curved screen, but there is also a 31-inch panoramic display with a resolution of up to 8K in the back row, with built-in iQiyi and Huawei application markets, which is the first time that luxury brands have adopted Huawei application market in the rear entertainment system, and the upgraded BMW intelligent personal assistant has also appeared on the new BMW 7 Series for the first time.
On the visual level, the wrap-around interactive light belt through the center console, and the panoramic star orbit canopy that can change colors through the new BMW iDrive and BMW OS 8.0 bring the future of the vehicle to the peak.
In terms of size, the new BMW 7 Series is 5391mm long, 1950mm wide, 1548mm high, and has a wheelbase of 3215mm, which is not a problem with the model space of this level, but if you want to talk about length, the size of the new BMW 7 Series is slightly larger than that of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
It can be said that BMW knows how to enhance the noble experience of users' cars.
The new BMW 7 Series not only has 7 different theme modes, each theme mode creates a different atmosphere for using the car. It is also equipped with first class seats with back adjustment up to 42.5 degrees, automatic opening and closing doors that can be controlled by buttons, voice, My BMW APP, central control screen and key, as well as a nano-scale air purification system that replicates forest-grade air quality for a refreshing breathing environment, and the standard premium four-zone automatic air conditioning ensures that the driver and occupants are always in the best possible temperature environment.
In addition, the Bowers & Wilkins 4D Diamond Surround Sound System has 36 speakers scattered throughout the cabin, and listening to music in the car must have a feeling of touching the heart.
The new BMW 7 Series has a very rich range of power categories: fuel version, pure electric version, plug-in hybrid version.
Among them, the fuel version is expected to be equipped with a 3.0T in-line six-cylinder turbocharged engine tuned for high and low power, a maximum horsepower of 286Ps for the low-power version, a maximum power of 380Ps for the high-power version, and a 4.4T V8 engine, which matches ZF's 8-speed manual transmission and provides a 48V light hybrid system.
As BMW's world's first pure electric luxury flagship sedan, the innovative BMW i7 is equipped with the fifth-generation BMW eDrive system, and data from overseas show that its maximum horsepower is 544Ps, the peak torque is 745N·m, the zero hundred acceleration is only 4.7S, and it has a comprehensive endurance of more than 600km.
It is worth mentioning that the new BMW 7 Series has L2 level driver assistance functions, but technically, it already has the ability to achieve L3 level automatic driving. The L3 level is the threshold that has truly entered the automatic driving, but at this stage, most countries or regions at home and abroad have policy restrictions, and more data support is needed to achieve full automatic driving.
However, now that the technology is in place, I believe that the new BMW 7 Series can still bring a different experience to people's cars.
In the competition of the Chinese market in 2021, BMW has temporarily taken the lead, delivering 846,200 new cars in the whole year, an increase of 8.9% year-on-year, and 48,000 of which are contributed by new energy products, representing that BMW's electrification transformation business is gradually on the right track.
Nowadays, the arrival of the flagship new energy product innovation BMW i7 has further enriched bmw's product matrix, opening the door for the launch of follow-up new products in 2022, and it is reported that bmw will have 15 pure electric products for mass production and trial production in 2022. Under the development model of traditional fuel vehicles and new energy products, BMW, as a first-line luxury brand, can still maintain its unique advantages.
