After the teaser image was revealed for months.  The BMW i7 xDrive60 2023 was finally revealed overnight. As the first 100% electric luxury sedan of the 7 Series last year

And while manufacturers of the same nationality Mercedes-Benz decided to separate the production line of the flagship electric vehicle such as the EQS and the flagship model that uses an internal combustion engine such as the S-Class, regardless, that BMW 2023 will be included as one of the series cars . – 7 instead, plus the “xDrive60” icon, which means the i7 will be the top of the family too.

First of all, when discussing the exterior design details  we can see that the BMW i7 still comes with a design concept that emphasizes luxury. Oh as usual but this time, the designer tweaked the lines of the car to be more angular.

Especially with the headlight assembly this time it has been reworked to be standard. Between the DRL line and the main LED at the bottom, in fact, this appears to be the trend in new car design for the blue rotor camp already. Where it doesn’t fit is the distinctive opaque twin kidney grille that appears slightly larger than its predecessor. As for the taillights, even when looking at the surface, they may look similar to the previous one. But in addition to the smaller size, an LED light strip is used to connect the two taillights themselves. Already cut off

Interior design

 This time can be seen in addition to the luxury still present as a flagship sedan. What has been added is a cleaner and simpler look. It can be seen from the front console lined with recycled wood and virtually no other buttons. Because it has been moved down to the middle platform position between almost all the seats as well as the infotainment display with iDrive8 software system and supports 5G signal communication via eSIM connected to the same gauge cluster while the steering wheel has been redesigned to be only 2 spokes

And being an executive level car therefore, the luxury for the back seat passengers is also important. Because at this time it is equipped with a large central screen of 31 inches and a resolution of up to 4K to display movies clearly. Above that is the turn on screen. It can be controlled via a 5.5-inch touch screen on the side door panels.

But the real selling point of the BMW i7 xDrive60 lies in its 100% electric motor, which is split into a 259 PS electric motor to spin the front wheels and another 312 PS electric motor. And another to rotate the rear wheel set.

This is equal to the power found in this car model. The combined maximum power is 544 hp, while the maximum torque is 744 Nm, with claims to acceleration from 0-96 km / h in 4.5 seconds and a top speed at 240 km / h.

The supplied battery has a capacity of 101.7 kWh, which supports a maximum operating distance of 483 km according to the EPA standard, supports a maximum reverse charging current of 195 kW, and can be recharged for 170 km in just a 10-minute flight.
