BMW's new electric sedan, the i7, goes farther than the competition. It's like a business-class upgrade, but for the road
A volt of lightning

BMW's i7 is not just a car; it's a sanctuary on wheels, a mobile cinema, and a high-powered machine. There are countless fine details to appreciate. The daytime running lights, adorned with Swarovski crystals, catch the light as you pass.

The sporty bumper adds a touch of flash. The grille, outlined by an LED strip called Iconic Glow, ensures it's visible even at night.

The only thing conventional about the i7 is its profile, which follows a more traditional three-box shape. Built on the same platform as its 7-series petrol/diesel siblings, the i7 looks elegant and solid.

The 5.4-metre body boasts clean, block-like surfacing, complemented by a high-deck boot, and a distinctive diffuser-like element at the rear bumper.

Inside is an overload of tech.
