PREMIERE OF THE NEW BMW 7 SERIESConcorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este 2022
With the new BMW 7 series, the latest generation of the brand’s flagship saloon, BMW is set to redefine the luxury segment with new levels of electrification, sustainability and digitalisation. Discover technology and exclusivity in a new dimension.
The new BMW i7 – the first-ever fully electric BMW 7 Series saloon – experiences its Concorso d’Eleganza Premiere.
The new, all-electric BMW i7 opens a new chapter in the sheer driving pleasure so typical of the brand and the exclusive touring comfort. It embodies the forward-looking shape of individual mobility in the luxury segment and also defines this through the generation of holistic worlds of sound. The acoustic environment ranges from the welcome scenario, through the ready-to-drive signal and the driving sounds geared to the individually selected My Mode, to the acoustic choreography linked to the first-time BMW 31.3-inch theatre screen in the rear passenger compartment. The BMW IconicSounds Electric is factory-integrated in the local, zero-emission flagship model of the brand to offer completely new sound worlds. These are created in interaction between the driver and vehicle, and form a key element in the styling of a unique driver experience.
The multisensory entertainment combines with impressive electric performance to create an unforgettable driver experience. 400 kW (544 hp) and up to 745 Nm maximum torque guarantee virtually silent and highly dynamic propulsion. The BMW i7 sprints from a standing start to 100 km/h in just 4.7 seconds. A range of up to 625 kilometres is possible. With 195 kW provided at a high-power charging station, the BMW i7 can recharge from 10 to 80 percent in just 34 minutes.
With the all-electric powered BMW i7, the Bavarian premium automobile manufacturer is consistently expanding its product range for local zero-emission driving pleasure to the exclusive segment of its flagship models. “The new BMW 7 Series is clearly pioneering in every detail. Like no other model, the BMW 7 Series represents the innovative power of BMW,” commented Frank Weber, the Member of the Board of Management of BMW AG responsible for development. “The all-electric BMW i7 is also the most powerful model in the BMW 7 Series. It offers a unique combination of the best driving experience and the ultimate digital experience. This makes it the ideal car for future-oriented, responsible decision-makers and visionaries.”
The twin round headlights and BMW kidney grille as the signature design elements were completely reinterpreted in the BMW i7 for a modern and bold appearance. A striking design statement is provided by the upper light elements made of crystal glass and the illuminated kidney contour “Iconic Glow”.
