BMW VS AUDI LUXURY SEDAN COMPARISON 7 SERIES VS A8, 5 SERIES VS A6, I5 VS A6 E-TRON

EV Channels Review

The BMW 7 Series (G70) is presented as a significant step up in luxury, aiming to rival Bentley and Rolls-Royce. The reviewer highlights its impressive size, sophisticated design with meticulous attention to detail, and a luxurious interior that offers exceptional comfort, potentially surpassing competitors like the Mercedes EQS and even Bentley/Rolls-Royce in seating ergonomics. The "theater mode" with its expansive screen and immersive sound is a standout feature. However, the review points out a significant drawback in the over-digitalized user interface, which complicates basic functions like adjusting shades or seat positions, and a screen crash experienced during the test. While the driving dynamics are praised for blending sportiness with comfort, the reviewer notes the petrol V8 offers a more natural feel than the EV's linear power delivery, though both are exceptionally capable. The i7's trunk space is slightly compromised compared to the petrol version. Overall, the 7 Series is deemed a king of luxury comfort, but falls short on user interface intuitiveness.
