BMW i7, the flagship electric limousine from the Bavarian brand that debuted in 2022, definitely deserves attention. Its market debut signifies not only another step in electrification but also a clear declaration of modernity, luxury, and innovation. Courtesy of the Warsaw Dealer - BMW Bawaria Motors, I had the opportunity to test this exceptional vehicle. I quickly christened it the "Beast" because I felt like President Biden in his limousine, only without the secret service and with a smaller crowd of paparazzi on my tail! In the review, I focus on aspects that make it an ideal choice for the business world.
Excellent driving conditions
Driving the BMW i7 was pure pleasure. The electric drive provides smooth and quiet acceleration, and thanks to the low center of gravity, the car maintains stability even during faster maneuvers. Technologies like adaptive suspension further enhance the driving comfort, which is crucial, especially when business trips require spending many hours behind the wheel.
Modern design
The design of the BMW i7 is a bold combination of classic and modern elements. BMW's iconic kidney grilles, now fully digital, give the vehicle a futuristic look, accentuated by dynamic body lines and innovative lighting. The rear of the vehicle stands out particularly, where horizontal light lines merge, creating a unique visual effect. This car not only catches the eye but also symbolizes prestige and innovation.
Satisfying range
In the case of electric vehicles, range is crucial, and the BMW i7 meets these expectations. Its long range on a single charge allows for easy covering of long distances. The car is powered by two electric motors with a combined power of 500 HP and 745 Nm of torque. It reaches a speed of 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds. Energy consumption in the BMW i7 is relatively efficient compared to its size. The real-world range in test conditions was about 480 km. In city driving, consumption increased to 24.2 kWh/100 km, but in the evening, with minimal traffic, it dropped to 18.3 kWh/100 km. Charging the i7 is also efficient – the maximum DC charging power is 195 kW, allowing for charging up to 80% in 34 minutes.
Unique equipment
The interior of the BMW i7 is a combination of luxury, technology, and ergonomics. High-quality materials, crystal elements, lighting customization, and advanced infotainment systems create a space that is not only comfortable but also inspiring. Driver assistance systems, which increase safety and comfort during travel, are also important for business.
Business advantages
The BMW i7 is a vehicle that perfectly meets the needs of the business world. Its prestigious image, combined with modern technologies and an environmentally friendly profile, makes it not only a means of transportation but also a symbol of a modern company. This car is ideal for the dynamic lifestyle of managers and entrepreneurs who value innovation, efficiency, and prestige.
The cost of the BMW i7 xDrive60 starts from 650,000 PLN, with the possibility of customization through the choice of equipment lines, colors, wheels, and additional options, such as BMW Iconic Glow crystal headlights or an innovation package with advanced driver assistance systems.
The BMW i7 is more than just an electric car; it is a thoughtful combination of luxury, modernity, and functionality that meets the high demands of the business world and personally me. Its impressive performance, futuristic design, and advanced technologies make it one of the most desirable vehicles on the market.
