It is reported that in 2022, BMW Group will launch 26 new products in the domestic automotive market, and many of them are electric vehicles, such as the new BMW i3, BMW i7 and other models, which also shows that BMW is currently rapidly transforming into the field of electrification. On April 20, 2022, BMW officially launched its new BMW 7 Series (G70) and BMW i7 in the Chinese market, of which the BMW i7 is currently the flagship pure electric sedan in the BMW family.
In terms of appearance, BMW i7 adopts the same appearance design as BMW's new seven series, the appearance of the whole vehicle looks like it has a strong aura, the front face uses a larger size front grille, and at the same time with the split design of the headlight group, bringing a strong visual impact, but such a design is relatively bold, may not necessarily cater to the aesthetics of most consumers, but this innovative spirit is worth affirming.
The BMW i7 on the side of the body uses the same lines as BMW's new 7 Series and built-in door handles, while the car is equipped with charging ports at the front fenders. The shape at the rear of the car is actually not in mode, but the rear logo and the bottom of the rear are decorated with blue decorations, proving that this is a pure electric version of the i7.
In the car, BMW i7 and BMW 7 series also use the same design language, this new BMW family design style, I believe it will cater to the aesthetics of the vast majority of consumers, the integrated suspension curved screen by 12.3-inch full LCD dashboard and 14.9-inch central control screen composition, its display effect is not only very delicate, supported functions are also very rich, and even in the car machine installed a lot of App in line with China's national conditions. Thanks to the blessing of the new BMW iDrive and BMW operating system 8.0, the overall BMW i7 vehicle experience and intelligent auxiliary driving experience are also worth looking forward to.
It is reported that bmw i7 is based on the upgraded new generation of CLAR architecture to build, with a 3215 mm ultra-long wheelbase, as a luxury pure electric D-class sedan, such a size performance is also a basic operation, after all, for this level of model, the ride experience is a very important thing. The Interior's interior in-car's Individual personality seats are wrapped in merino wool and leather, and there's nothing to be discerned about in terms of texture and comfort. It is worth mentioning that the car is also equipped with a 31.3-inch 8K cinema screen in the back row, which can fully experience the experience of a private theater in the back row, which was unimaginable before.
In terms of power, the i7 xDrive60 uses front and rear dual motor drive, equipped with BMW's fifth-generation eDrive electric drive system, with a combined maximum power of 400 kW (544 hp), a comprehensive peak torque of 745 Nm, an acceleration time of 0-100 km/h of 4.7 seconds, and a cruising range of 590-625 km under WLTP conditions. The i7 M70 xDrive will be launched in the second half of next year, with a combined maximum power of 485 kW (660 hp) and a peak torque of more than 1,000 Nm and an acceleration time of 0-100 km/h within 4 seconds. For a D-class flagship sedan, its power performance is not bad, but at present, it does not know the specific endurance performance, so it is also more expected in this regard.
Write at the end:
At this stage, major car companies, whether traditional car-making forces or new car companies, are striving to develop new energy, even BMW is no exception. At present, the BMW Group is in the stage of electrification transformation, according to BMW's planning, by the end of 2025, the BMW Group plans to deliver a total of 2 million pure electric vehicles. From BMW's planning and BMW's listing of many pure electric vehicles can be found that BMW is indeed currently stepping up the process of pure electrification of the road, BMW i7 in addition to the current uncertainties in terms of endurance, other aspects of the performance are very good, but the car is after all the flagship car, will not become the mainstream volume of models, so the real need to contribute to most of the sales is still entry-level and main sales models, I hope that in the volume of models can also see BMW's many innovations, but also take into account the good cost performance, if so, I believe there will be a very good market performance.
