BMW i7 offers an impressive WLTP-certified range of up to 603 km between charges and is available in two variants in India
BMW has crossed a landmark moment in India by delivering 1,000 units of the flagship i7 in the country since the electric sedan was introduced cementing its position as the brand’s most successful high-end EV offering to date. As for the design, the BMW i7 gets bold proportions and futuristic styling which clearly differentiate it from conventional luxury sedans.
The split headlamp design features slim daytime running lights at the top. It is complemented by BMW Crystal Headlights crafted by Swarovski while the illuminated Iconic Glow kidney grille up the sedan’s road presence especially at night. Stepping inside, the cabin is centred around the BMW Interaction Bar while there is a curved display with navigation, real-time traffic updates and augmented view.
For the rear occupants, the seating comfort is a significant highlight. It is led by the 31-inch 8K BMW Theatre Screen with Amazon Fire TV – a segment-first feature. The Executive Lounge Seating behind the front passenger reclines up to 42.5 degrees coupled with Merino leather upholstery, massage functions and seat ventilation.
Adding to the ambience is the Panorama Glass Roof Sky Lounge featuring fully customisable LED lighting. Powering the BMW i7 eDrive50 is the fifth-generation BMW eDrive technology featuring a highly integrated electric drive unit. The luxury sedan delivers 449 hp and 650 Nm of torque which help accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph in just 5.5 seconds. For home or office use, an 11 kW AC charger comes into play while a 22 kW system can reduce this time significantly.
Speaking on the new milestone, Hardeep Singh Brar, President and CEO, BMW Group India said, “The BMW i7 is not merely a luxury sedan – it is a bold declaration of ‘Forwardism’. Crossing the 1,000 unit mark reflects its strong resonance with customers who seek the perfect fusion of avant garde design, electrifying performance, and uncompromised luxury.”
Despite its size and opulence, the i7 offers an impressive WLTP-certified range of up to 603 km between charges. The BMW i7 is sold in two variants in India: the eDrive50 M Sport and the high-performance M70 xDrive. Both models utilise a substantial 101.7 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. To manage its massive battery, the i7 supports fast DC charging up to 195 kW which can replenish the battery from 10 per cent to 80 per cent in just 34 minutes.
