TOP 5 REASONS WHY THE 2023 BMW I7 COULD BE THE BEST EV I’VE EVER REVIEWED

EV Channels Review

The reviewer hails the 2023 BMW i7 as potentially the best EV they've ever tested, highlighting five key areas. The styling, initially polarizing, grows on the reviewer, with its premium looks and distinctive grille. Automatic doors with safety sensors and soft-close functionality are praised, especially when compared to competitors. The interior is lauded for its exceptional fit and finish, luxurious materials, ambient lighting, and the immersive Bowers & Wilkins 4D Diamond audio system. The standout feature is the 31-inch 8K theater screen, which transforms the rear cabin into an entertainment hub, controlled via rear armrest screens. Driving dynamics are also a strong point; the i7 offers smooth, powerful acceleration (536 hp, 4.7s 0-60 mph) without compromising comfort. The reviewer particularly appreciates the linear and easy-to-modulate brakes, the versatile automatic regen braking, and the welcome addition of rear-axle steering for maneuverability. The hands-free Assist Plus system is noted as functional but road-dependent. While acknowledging the high price point, the reviewer positions the i7 as a glimpse into the future of automotive technology that will eventually trickle down to more affordable vehicles.
