BMW's new 7 series doesn't play things safe. What do you think of its bold new look?
First things first, the new 7 series might be all-new, but it's familiar from a technical standpoint. It uses a mixed-metal construction that’s semi-modular in that it can support either an internal combustion powertrain or an all-electric one. The key differences between the two are based around how the battery packages are stored, with the floor developed to fit the i7’s 101.7kWh battery pack in various modules throughout.
BMW has confirmed it will introduce a further high performance i7 M70, with a combined output of up to 650bhp due to rival the AMG EQS53, but for now the 60 model will do the talking. Weights are big, with the i7 tipping the scales at an astonishing 2715kg , a 130kg rise on the EQS.As for the plug-in hybrid models, BMW has announced that both will share the combination of BMW’s new generation turbocharged in-line six-cylinder petrol engine, an electric motor and a 18.7kWh battery pack.
Whereas the technical package doesn’t really diverge from that of the previous model , the new 7 series’ design is rather more radical both inside and out, making a big statement. Outside, the three-box silhouette is pared with some bold new graphics, sharing the new X7’s split-headlight arrangement as well as the huge grille. In fact, the new 7’s kidneys are bigger than ever, but are integrated into the overall design with more synergy than before.
