The pure electric flagship is coming soonBMW i7 spy spotted

●The official release of test spy photos
●The fifth-generation eDrive pure electric power system
●Sweden near polar circle test battery winter test efficiency
●Speculate the three powers of eDrive40, eDrive50, and M60

In your impression, is the electric car still in a compact size or avant-garde design? Quickly update your mind. In the future, the electric cars that will inevitably shuttle through the streets must have a kaleidoscope of attitudes similar to those of diesel locomotives, and even include the flagship large RVs that wealthy businessmen have always been fond of.

See the real chapter in the cold

The i7, which is still in the stage of camouflage testing, is the most eye-catching one. According to the original disclosure, we know that it is in full swing at the BMW Winter Test Center in Arjeplog, Sweden. Where, when you open the map, you will find that Arjeplog is only a few steps away from the Arctic Circle. Such cold weather will inevitably bring an extremely severe test to the battery performance of the i7, and such a declarative test process is of course breaking. People around the world have doubts about the "fear of cold" electric vehicles.

Electric version 7 series

However, after more than ten days, the final camouflage test itinerary announced this time, the background came to a hot desert environment, once again proving that the i7 is absolutely competent and happy in terms of performance or battery life regardless of high temperature or low temperature, but more importantly, this From the photos of the two tests, we were able to figure out the appearance of the i7 after the launch. Basically, from the long front and the standard sedan configuration ratio, you can probably guess that this car is closely related to the existing 7 Series. Inseparable relevance, in fact, the original factory also tells you that this car does not come through an electric exclusive modular platform, but adopts the existing 7 Series structure to modify it, so in terms of appearance, it will definitely only be a small needle beauty. The change of style, according to my guess, is like the i4 and 4 Series Gran Coupe, with a slightly technologically cold, differentiated design approach, right?

Performance and efficiency remain a mystery

However, just like the packaged and unventilated appearance, I believe that the i7, which has been on the market not long ago, is still quite mysterious regardless of the cockpit configuration or power specifications. Information such as power output, charging time or cruising range is completely absent. The only thing that can be determined. Except in extreme cold and hot environments, the onboard temperature control system can ensure good battery and motor module performance. In addition, the fifth-generation BMW eDrive pure electric power system can also achieve energy consumption of 100 kilometers under the WLTP test standard. The performance of 22.5kWh to 19.5kWh, and according to the reasonable speculation of foreign media, the launch of i7 will bring different power output models such as eDrive40, eDrive50 and M60. It will show how performance and endurance will be, or wait for the original factory to announce more data. It's accurate.
