The BMW i7 is a luxury car for the electric era. The flagship model is an executive saloon built for comfort and luxury, featuring a long list of cool technology, loads of space for passengers and the trademark BMW driving experience. The design will make a statement on the road, specifically the bold BMW front grille, and there’s no denying the level of quality and craftmanship throughout the i7.

Key highlights

The BMW i7 has a load of advanced technology highlights that are operated by the huge, curved display that greets you when you get in. There’s plenty of space front and back plus 500 litres of boot space – mainly thanks to the fact the i7 is 5.4m long. And that comfort continues with a smooth driving experience making it the perfect car to drive long distances in…or be chauffeured in while watching the latest blockbuster on the optional 30-inch theatre screen in the rear.

Performance and range

Two electric motors produce more than 500bhp, which means that despite its size, the i7 can do 0-62mph in just 4.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 149mph. Thanks to a 105kWh battery, the BMW i7 is capable of up to 387 miles and features 195kW charging capability. Plug into a High Power EV charger on the GRIDSERVE Electric Highway and you’ll get 80% charge faster than you can watch an episode on Netflix. The entry-level xDrive60 Excellence is more than enough for most but should you want extra technology and the complete luxury experience then upgrade to M Sport and M Sport Pro.
