September 3, 2020/2 minutes of reading
A day after the introduction of the new S-Class, BMW is launching the first camouflaged verification prototypes of the long-lasting 7 Series plug-in hybrid flagships and i7 electric luxury, sending a difficult message to competitors. G70/G71, which represents any of the battle sizes, is expected to be officially introduced around the summer of 2022. To send a blunt message about their electrification strategy, early prototypes review PHEV and purely electric power trains.
The long-lasting 7 G70/G71 Series will be the first in BMW’s history to also be presented in an all-electric variant: i7. In addition, new plug-in hybrid versions will also subscribe to traditional models that work through ICE, thus adhering to the Power of Choice principle.
As you can see in the first newly captured spyshots, the 7 Series is about to go through a radical transformation. In fact, the figure hidden under the thick camouflage gives me some hard vibrations from E38, which is a sign. You can see a reinterpreted motor cover, with a low profile, short overhangs and impressive visual length.
The kidney grille will probably retain its pure and strict size to the maximum. The headlights installed in the prototypes remain temporary, so we’ll see the finished design of the new 7 Series eyes to the fullest probably next year. Oblong transitority lamps make the 7 series look a little similar to the E31 8 series.
In addition, the roof line is straight, in the intelligent culture of culture, but similar to the icon of the E38 7 series of the 90’s. In addition, the way the dominance of the fold is solved and the C quantity of Hofmeister awakens pleasant memories of the Third Generation Bavarian luxury star product.
The back looks rounded with a few giant L-shaped lighting fixtures visible under the skin. It seems that the huge finish of the bracelet will be reinterpreted in a more simplified architecture, with the aim of creating a fastback visual effect.
We’ll see how the design evolves, but from what we’re seeing at this point, the scenario is encouraging. The proportions of the car are the best and will give the 7 Series a totally new dynamic appearance.
The G70/G71 7 series is expected to be a total revolution in the generation, pointing to the crown of luxury elegance and redefining the criteria in the segment. We hope that a new concept of infotainment will be introduced with the logo of the new Series 7, as well as several advances in autonomous driving technologies. There is also the possibility to see a generation move from iNEXT to Series 7.
According to some initial reports, the new Series 7 will load new PHEV power trains and no less than 3 all-i7 models. Along with the 745e, which is expected to offer more strength and advanced range, there will also be a plug-in hybrid M Performance launch: the M750e.
In addition, the all-electric i7 will be available in 3 versions: i740 with rear-wheel drive chassis, i750 with popular xDrive traction and i7 M60e, replacing the existing M760Li with V12 engine.
Enthusiasm is starting to increase and I hope you will be told more about the G70/G71 Series in the coming months.
