BMW 7-SERIES FACELIFT REVIEW EXTERIOR INTERIOR 2020 G11 G12 7 SERIES 7ER

EV Channels Review

The BMW 7-Series Facelift (G11/G12) receives a significant update, moving beyond a mere facelift with a dramatically redesigned front end featuring larger kidney grilles and slimmer headlights. The reviewer highlights the optional laser headlights with a 600-meter range, though their availability is restricted in certain markets. The vehicle's length is noted, with the G12 being the extended wheelbase version primarily for the US market, while the G11 is the standard wheelbase. Interior changes are focused on the infotainment system, which now runs on software version 7 and supports over-the-air updates. The reviewer praises the quality of materials and the attention to detail, such as the carbon fiber core designation. However, the reviewer points out that despite the car's large exterior dimensions, interior space, particularly for rear passengers in the standard configuration, could be more optimized. Engine options are diverse, including updated gasoline, diesel, and plug-in hybrid variants, with the 750i model seeing a substantial power increase to 530 HP and AWD as standard. A notable omission is the lack of eco-friendly seating material options. The reviewer concludes that the updated 7-Series offers a more imposing road presence and improved powertrain options, but the interior space optimization and the polarizing front-end design are points of discussion.
