Are you an eco-conscious world leader immersed in a period of political unrest? The new BMW i7 Protection could be the car for you...
As you might have noticed, it’s rather bold to look at. Continuing its recent theme of big grilles and shallow headlights started by the X7 facelift, the new i7 flies in the face of subtlety. But BMW’s convinced it’s got the right mix of tech, design and performance to hit one of its oldest rivals where it hurts., a new M70 model has arrived, launching globally in the second half of 2023.
For the i7 specifically , there’s an i badge on the grille, and decorative trim pieces are in the blue colour usually expected from the brand. Otherwise, though, there is little to distinguish an i7 from its combustion engine and plug-in hybrid versions. But the biggest distinguishing feature on the dashboard is the ‘Interaction Bar’ – a backlit, glass-like panel that stretches the width of the entire dashboard, incorporating the few remaining physical switches. And even then, most aren’t physical anyway, as BMW opts for a pressure pad-like effect. The ambient lighting can change colour depending on your own settings, and it reacts to inputs and what’s going on around it with various animations.
We’ve seen it in action, and it’s thoroughly impressive, though we’re curious how it’ll work on the move with those that regularly suffer from travel sickness. BMW says it’s been crash tested, where the g-forces of the crash will make the screen fold away of its own accord, and Kahlenberg isn’t convinced drivers will ever need a digital rear-view mirror.One version of the all-electric i7 has been announced for now: the xDrive60. It features a 101.
