BMW has just shown what its flagship will be like, the i7 whose design has not left the followers of the brand indifferent, given how groundbreaking both its predecessor and the line of current 'bimmers' are.

But in addition, the heart is also new since the heart is a 100% electric drive.

The arrival on the market according to the Bavarian firm is scheduled for the end of 2022.

The BMW i7 has a large

giant screen

called the

BMW Theater Screen

, which will also be

compatible with Amazon Fire TV.

pant back

The novelty is that this screen is located behind, unlike in the Mercedes-Benz EQS, the natural rival of the BMW i7, which has the Hyperscreen on the dashboard occupying practically everything.

The

BMW Theater Screen

stretches across a

31.3-inch diagonal,

32:9 widescreen

monitor in

8K

quality

... which is controlled by touch screens in the door panels.

To complement it, a Bowers & Wilkins

audio system will be offered

that even integrates the speakers in the headrests and compatibility with

5G

to turn the vehicle into a mobile office.

Of course, to enjoy the screen even more, you can request a special configuration of the interior, called the

Executive Lounge

, with seats with greater reclining, cushions, ventilation, massage.

In addition to the screen, the

interior of the 7 Series will

also incorporate a

new curved interface for the dashboard

(the BMW Curved Display) with two

12.3-inch

panels (for the clock panel) and

14.9

for the main screen .

.

X7 front

It was to be expected and now it is confirmed with the

official images

that the new

BMW 7 Series

will debut the front that the X7 already advanced a few days ago, the SUV, whose restyling was revealed a few days ago.

Thus, we see how the

main elements

of its image are repeated: a large

kidney grille

that extends almost along the entire vertical of the car, the

lamps of the daytime running lights located in the upper part

(the only thing that remains of the famous double headlights is now the light signature of this section) and the

main headlights below

.

The Citroën C4 Space Tourer has this configuration of front lights that was also mounted on the late C4 Cactus.

For the rest,

the design of its lines is quite conventional

, far from the fluidity of almost coupé forms of the Mercedes EQS and the more marked sportiness of the Audi e-tron GT.

The BMW i7 is

the most conservative

.

And the largest, because it

has grown no less than 13 centimeters

(it now measures no less than

5.39 meters

) and, logically, its wheelbase is also stretched, even

surpassing that of the previous long-wheelbase version

(in the case of the 2022 7 Series, this will be the only body variant).

If we mix the design guidelines and the vehicle size, it is clear that BMW is directly targeting

China as its main market target

.

More powerful

The

BMW i7 xDrive60

will offer

544 horsepower

drawn from two electric motors (which will allow you to enjoy four-wheel drive).

Later in 2023, the

i7 M70 xDrive

will arrive , which boosts its performance to

660 horses

.

The energy will be accumulated in a

101.7 kWh battery

that will allow to travel

between 590 and 625 kilometers of autonomy with a single charge

.

The maximum charging power that it will admit will be

195 kW

, which would allow it to recover energy to travel

170 kilometers in 10 minutes

(provided that we find those ideal conditions for recharging).

Figures lower than those of the Mercedes, the EQS.

The BMW 760i

Will there be a diesel version?

But the new BMW flagship will not only have the electric version.

The range is completed with

conventional engines

although, yes, suitably electrified.

The first to arrive will be a

300 hp six-cylinder diesel

, which will arrive in early 2023.

Later, plug-in hybrid

gasoline

mechanics will be incorporated , which will offer electric autonomy of

more than 80 kilometers

.

Conventional gasoline versions will also be offered in other markets (

735i

with 272 hp,

740i

with 380 and the

760i

V8 with 544 hp).

Prices are not yet known.
