BMW i7 is the brand’s new fully-electric, range-topping version of the new 7 Series luxury sedan. The i7 xDrive60, as it is known, currently matches the most powerful ICE version of the new 7, putting out 536 horsepower, but an even more powerful i7 M70 model will be added later to cap the range with 660 horsepower; that’s coming next year.
But there’s more about the i7 than its technical specifications, though, and BMW has released a video that features its CEO, Oliver Zipse, as well as the company’s boss of design, Adrian van Hooydonk. They each explain different parts of the vehicle, why BMW chose to do them that way and what went into the process of creating them.
Zipse shows off the vehicle’s exterior, its automatic opening driver’s door, the light greeting you get when you approach the vehicle and then he takes it for a drive, going through the different powertrains (ICE and EV) and what makes the i7 different from the 7 Series.
