AMAZING HIGHWAY ADAS! BMW I7 TOPS THE CHARTS IN THE HOGBACK CHALLENGE

EV Channels Review

The BMW i7's advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) is put to the ultimate test on the challenging Hogback route, and it largely excels, earning "Kyle's choice" for highway ADAS. The reviewer highlights its exceptional comfort, quietness, and refinement, noting it's the closest one can get to a Rolls-Royce without the badge. While the i7's charging capabilities and efficiency are acknowledged as not class-leading, the ADAS performance, particularly its hands-free highway driving and robust emergency stop sequence (including calling emergency services), significantly overshadows these shortcomings. The system's smooth operation, advanced eye-tracking confirmation for lane changes, and comprehensive safety features are praised. However, the i7 did struggle with some particularly tight corners and experienced occasional issues with speed limit adaptation and auto lane changes, leading to point deductions. Despite these minor drawbacks, the reviewer concludes that the i7 offers the most confidence-inspiring and natural-feeling highway ADAS experience currently available, making it a compelling, albeit expensive, choice for those prioritizing comfort and advanced driver assistance.
