2022 will soon be over, ask me what is the most anticipated model this year, it is definitely the new BMW 7 Series (Photo|Configuration|Quote), from the beginning of the debut has been looking forward to now, finally you can test drive, and this focus is also placed on the top of the pure electric 7 Series i7, the following I will introduce you from several aspects.
Exterior design
The design of the new 7 Series has been commented on by countless people since its debut, both good and bad, but by now all the comments tend to be consistent, that is, very imposing, recognizable and sought after. The double kidney grille is huge and very impressive.
Why the new generation 7 Series is designed in this way, from the official information, because 40% of the sales of the 7 Series are from China, and the average age of Chinese consumers is 38 years old, so the design of the 7 Series towards, is completely biased towards this type of people.
The BMW 7 Series has a length of 5391mm and a wheelbase of 3215mm, which is in the mainstream of the D-class sedan. From the side, the high waistline with a high front end, the design of the new 7 Series really has a taste of Rolls-Royce.
Cabin innovation
The cabin design of the new BMW 7 Series has been changed to use a dual-linked screen design with ID8 connectivity, but I think the focus is on the materials used. This i7 test car was fitted with Merino leather with cashmere, which is visually and tactilely fantastic.
The important right rear position, where the cushion and legrest are linked together, can form a first-class seat when the front row is down, and the ride comfort is very good.
The BMW 7 Series has a groundbreaking 32-inch screen configuration in the rear, which opens and then slowly drops down from the sunroof position. This screen is built-in a lot of domestic localized applications, video, music are all available. Many friends are concerned about how this screen looks like? From the right rear viewpoint, you can completely tighten the viewpoint, and will not be fatigued.
i7 driving experience
Test drive the i7 is a dual-motor four-wheel drive 60L version of the model, the power reached 400kW, 745N-m. The reserve of power is quite sufficient, but completely focused on the ride tuning, the response is rapid, but not unbearable, even if the organ foot throttle treatment it, can largely reduce the possibility of motion sickness.
Chassis, the new i7 uses a dual-chamber air spring configuration, the chassis is very adequate filtration of bumps, comfort is considered one of the best. It is worth mentioning that the new i7 is very flexible and lighter than the 5 Series.
