As one of the benchmark models in the luxury large car market, the BMW 7 Series has been listed with Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Audi A8 and other models as BBA flagship cars, and before the Mercedes-Benz S-Class has been replaced, while the Audi A8 has also ushered in the Horch version, while the BMW 7 Series has not made any moves. However, on April 20, the new generation of BMW 7 Series officially ushered in the world premiere in the domestic market.
Background analysis
At present, the BMW 7 Series has undergone six generations of changes, the new generation of BMW 7 Series is the seventh generation of models, the new generation from the inside out of the new upgrade, compared to the previous generation of models, not only the appearance of great innovation, but also the interior of the luxury technology atmosphere is very rich. It is worth mentioning that with the new generation of BMW 7 series, there is also a pure electric version of the i7, which can meet the different needs of users, it is reported that these two cars will be sold in China this year, so it is still worth looking forward to. As for the price, here can also be a small prediction, the car will be equipped with a 3.0T straight six engine, so with reference to the current 740Li starting price of 938,000 yuan, the starting price of the new generation of BMW 7 Series should also be around 900,000 yuan.
The appearance of the new generation of BMW 7 Series has changed greatly from the previous generation model, not only using the design of the official name "Ring Flare Grille", but also using a partially controversial split headlight, the overall appearance of the aura is very sufficient, but may not be able to cater to the aesthetics of most people, it is foreseeable that it and the front face of the BMW 4 Series are also very hot topics. On the side of the car, the car adopts an embedded door handle, and at the same time applies BMW's "3D stereoscopic suspension" taillight design concept in the rear of the car.
Inside, the new generation of BMW 7 Series adopts an integrated suspension double screen similar to the BMW iX, while retaining the crystal texture component in front of the armrest box, eliminating the chicken leg gear handle and replacing it with a delicate and compact gear shift lever. In the rear, the new generation of BMW 7 Series uses a 31-inch 8K resolution display, supports 32:9 panoramic playback mode, and has passed a rigorous safety crash test, which can be said to be the biggest highlight of the car.
In terms of power, the entry-level model of the new generation of BMW 7 Series is equipped with a new generation of 3.0T inline six-cylinder engine, but it is not a 740, but a 735i, with a maximum engine power of 210 kW (286 hp), a peak torque of 425 Nm, 0-100 km / The hourly acceleration time is 6.7 seconds, from which it can also be found that the 735i has replaced the previous generation of 730i, using a 3.0T low-power engine; the 740i is equipped with a high-power 3.0T inline six-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 280 kW (380 hp), a peak torque of 540 Nm (48V mix system with an additional 20 Nm), and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 5.4 seconds.
In addition, the new generation of BMW 7 Series will also be available in 760 models, the 760i xDrive model is equipped with a new generation of 4.4T V8 twin-turbo engine, the maximum power of 400 kW (544 hp), the peak torque of 750 Nm, 0-100 km / h acceleration time of 4.2 seconds. From the perspective of the power of the car, even the performance of the 735i is very good, after all, the entry is a 3.0T straight six engine, the level of power is actually not particularly important, six cylinders plus excellent cost performance is believed to still attract many consumers.
Editor's Comments:
I have to say that the innovation of the new generation of BMW 7 Series is indeed a lot, of course, such innovation will actually be a bit risky at the moment, but I personally feel that such innovation is inevitable, after all, in the future, even the flagship luxury car, in the field of scientific and technological innovation, can not be left behind, otherwise it will be eliminated. Obviously, the innovation of the new generation of BMW 7 Series is just right, but whether the new generation of BMW 7 Series can overpower the other two competitors still depends on the market performance after listing. In addition, the current Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series of the new replacement models have met with us, this time Audi A8L is actually the most embarrassing, of course, this year Audi A8L will also launch a mid-term remodeled model, but after all, it is a mid-term revamp, its change should not be too big, so in the luxury flagship car market, the competitiveness of Audi A8L may decline.
