BMW 7 Series

The new BMW 7 Series is a mid-life model, and its biggest change is in the exterior part. The new car adopts a highly recognizable new front grille and headlights, and the overall styling is similar to the BMW X7 released earlier. The signature double "kidney" front grille has been enlarged, increasing its size by 40% compared to the old model, and its recognition has also been significantly improved. The headlights have also been slightly adjusted, and the blue internal connector reveals to us that it will be equipped with laser headlights. In addition, the new front surround design differs depending on the model, with the luxury package version using a through design, and the M package and M760Li model air inlet shape being more exaggerated, the visual effect being very impactful.

  The M760Li model is marked with the V12 logo at the C-pillar, and the side windows are decorated with exclusive black strips along the outer edge. In the rear part of the car, the new model changed the new internal structure of the LED taillight group, through the design after lighting up quite a sense of technology. In addition, the new car's rear surround has also been adjusted accordingly, the new luxury package version of the rear surround shape compared to the old model more design sense, and to highlight the dynamic, M package and M760Li models are through the black surround design, the latter is the use of a total of four bilateral exhaust layout, the overall sporting atmosphere is very strong.

  The interior of the new model retains the layout style of the old model, only the details have been adjusted, and the whole has very strong family features. The most eye-catching changes are the new 12.3-inch full LCD instrument cluster and the latest i Drive 7.0 multimedia system. As for the gear knob, which is a concern for many people, the new model is not equipped with the crystal gear knob on the X7 but still offers the traditional electronic gear lever. As for the configuration part, such 10.25-inch touch screen, Telematics, BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant, low-speed following function, 50-meter distance automatic reverse function, 4-zone air conditioning, Napa leather upholstery and B&W audio are all provided.

● Space Experience

 As BMW's flagship sedan, the 7 Series naturally does not disappoint in terms of space. Both the front and rear rows provide satisfactory space for riding. In addition, with many functions such as ventilation, heating, massage, and angle adjustment, the new car provides passengers with quite a good riding comfort.

● Powertrain

  The new BMW 7 Series will be powered by the upgraded 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine, and 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V 8 engine, which corresponds to the 730Li, 740Li and 750Li models, with a maximum power of 258 hp, 340 hp and 530 hp respectively. The M760Li model, uses a 6.6T V12 engine, with maximum power adjusted to 585 hp, peak torque of 850 NM, and 0-100km/h acceleration time of 3.8 seconds. In terms of transmission, the new car is matched with an 8-speed manual transmission across the board.

● New car background

  The BMW 7 Series on sale is the sixth generation product introduced in 2015, codenamed G11 (standard axle)/G12 (long axle), and is the first BMW model to adopt the CLAR modular platform. After nearly four years of sales, the new car has received a mid-life facelift, and this is the new BMW 7 Series on the market. The new model has substantial changes in appearance, while the product has been adjusted and optimized in various aspects.

● Competitor Analysis

  The BMW 7 Series is a direct rival to the S-Class from Mercedes-Benz and the A8 from Audi, both of which have almost perfect overall performance and characteristics. The current generation of Mercedes-Benz has an absolute advantage in design, especially the creation of a luxury interior atmosphere, while the A8L is more prominent sense of technology. Of course, the final choice of consumers is more based on personal preference.

● Summary

  The new BMW 7 Series has a lot of changes but guided by the new family design language, I believe most people are attracted by the changes in the new car's styling. It is visually stunning, with a larger front grille, running tail lamps, and a more aggressive body envelope, all of which bring a more recognizable and sporty look to the car. In addition, the new car's interior and power parts have also been adjusted accordingly. Overall, the overall improvement of the new 7 Series is still very significant, in order to bring consumers a sense of freshness while further enhancing their competitiveness, this mid-term facelift is quite sincere.
