2023 BMW I7 - 36 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

EV Channels Review

The BMW i7 xDrive 60 is presented as a technological marvel, with the reviewer highlighting a plethora of luxury and entertainment features. The standout is the 31-inch 8K rear theater screen, complete with Fire TV and HDMI, though its integration hinders rear visibility. Automatic doors, a sophisticated ambient lighting system, and extensive crystal interior accents are praised for their premium feel. The Executive Rear Lounge package, including a recliner and the aforementioned screen, is a significant draw, albeit costly. While the reviewer notes the car's exceptional quietness and smooth, Rolls-Royce-level ride, the 101 kWh battery offers a practical range of around 320 miles, with charging taking about 12 hours on a 240V outlet. Performance is adequate with 535 hp and dual-motor AWD, achieving 0-60 mph in approximately 4.5 seconds. Downsides include the lack of a frunk, the inability to fold rear seats with the executive package, and non-heated/cooled front cupholders. The reviewer finds the i7 aesthetically superior to the Mercedes EQS but acknowledges its polarizing design. The vehicle's advanced driver-assist systems, including hands-free highway driving, are lauded.
