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.

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.
