After 7 years, the news of the BMW 7 Series replacement has finally come! On April 20, the BMW Group officially released a new generation of BMW 7 Series - THE 7.
I wonder how it feels to see the first glance of the new generation 7 series? Personally, I feel like it's more like an electric car.
Everyone is made of electric vehicles like fuel vehicles, and the BMW 7 Series is a fuel vehicle that creates the appearance of electric vehicles. Why? Let's take a look at some of its details.
For example, the front face part, although it as a whole adopts the family's latest "big double kidney" design, but in the case of the active grille is closed, it is basically exactly the same as the electric "i" series. Secondly, the fog lights have also been eliminated, and the lower part of the split headlights has a "hidden" design before it is lit. Overall, the entire front face is very simple, no different from most electric vehicle design ideas now.
Secondly, on the side and rear part of the car, the side of the car uses a concave door handle, and the visual effect is the same as the hidden door handle of the electric vehicle. The rear of the car borrows the simple design of the front face, in addition to the tail lights and logos, basically what can be hidden is hidden, and even the exhaust of the previous generation's bilateral four out is completely hidden by the black decoration, but although it is low-key, it has more mystery.
When it comes to the interior, the design of the new generation 7 series is even more imaginative, and even the whole sense of technology is more exaggerated than many luxury electric vehicles. Especially the 31-inch 8K resolution giant screen in the back that can be folded and shrunk, I can't imagine that this is a fuel car, a fuel car from BMW can bring design ideas.
In addition, I personally think that there is another place where the sense of technology is no less than this giant screen, that is, the atmosphere lights of its whole car. Because this BMW 7 series of atmosphere lights, not only with the music changes, the color is very gorgeous, and its surface is inlaid with crystal, the effect after lighting is very advanced.
Seeing this, do you also think that the design of this new generation 7 series is really very similar to an electric car? However, I saw that many netizens were not particularly cold about this before, or said that it was not good-looking or too pompous.
Yes, the beauty and ugliness of the design is still a matter of opinion, and the BMW 7 Series has always been the main part of luxury and performance, so it is really difficult to accept seeing an "electrified" 7 Series standing in front of us for a while. But if you dig a little deeper, you'll find that the new Generation 7 Series is actually more luxurious and more powerful than the previous generation.
In terms of performance, the new generation of the 7 series will cancel the 2.0T, the whole series is equipped with BMW inline 6-cylinder 3.0T engine, but the difference is that for the first time, a 48-volt light mix system is added, so whether it is in terms of acceleration or driving quality, it will obviously have a significant improvement over the previous generation model. At the same time, the innovative pure electric version of the model i7 based on the new generation of 7 series was also unveiled at the press conference, which was equipped with the fifth generation of eDrive electric drive system, the first version was xDrive60, the maximum horsepower was 544 horses, the maximum torque was 745 Nm, under the blessing of the four-wheel drive system, the zero hundred kilometer acceleration was only 4.7 seconds, and the WLTP comprehensive cruising range was 625km.
In addition, BMW also announced that soon the new generation of the 7 Series will also have a plug-in hybrid model entering the domestic market to take over the position of the previous generation M760Li, code-named M760e xDrive. At that time, the entire performance of the new generation 7 Series will rise to another level.
Write at the end
Seeing the new generation of the 7 series at this time, I actually think of the new generation of Mercedes-Benz S two years ago, although its entire design is not as exaggerated and radical as the new generation of 7 series, but when the electric vehicle design was just emerging, in fact, the public opinion pressure faced by the two is the same. Of course, I'm not saying that the new Generation 7 Series is good everywhere, such as what about the invisible places? But I can still accept its transformation in design, because the consumer group is younger, the quality is higher, and the aesthetic will change. And this nearly million-level C-class luxury executive sedan, its actual experience is not bad.
