Inovev forecasts 50,000 units per year of the new BMW 7 Series
- The BMW 7 Series is a large family of high-end sedans born in 1968 (at the time, this series was called BMW 2500/2800) and which has been renewed seven times, the last having been in the spring of 2022 This model, which remains an eternal rival of the Mercedes S-Class and Audi A8, but also of the Lexus LS, had to be excessive, which is the case, since the new generation E65 is 13 centimeters longer, or 5 .25 m for the normal version and 5.39 m for the long version, not far from the dimensions of a Rolls-Royce Ghost which shares the same CLAR platform. Compared to the old 7 Series, the width increases by 5 centimeters (1.95 m) and the height also by 5 centimeters (1.54 m).
- In addition, the powers have been revised upwards. The 3-litre six-cylinder and 4.5-litre eight-cylinder petrol engines become rechargeable hybrids (PHEV) and deliver 490 hp for the first and 570 hp for the second (compared to 395 hp and 530 hp for the previous models). However, a diesel engine remains in the catalog, it is a 3-litre six-cylinder developing 300 hp, a kind of entry-level for a model sold from 140,000 euros.
- The most notable novelty is the arrival of a 100% electric version called i7 with a power of 544 hp allowing a range of 600 km according to the WLTP cycle. The battery capacity is 100 kWh.
- The new BMW 7 Series will be produced like the previous ones at the German Dingolfing site, at the rate of 50,000 units per year, which traditionally places it in volume between the Mercedes S-Class and the Audi A8.
