ABOUT THE BMW I7

The BMW i7 is a full-size, all-electric luxury sedan positioned at the very top of BMW's lineup, competing directly against the Mercedes-Benz EQS and Audi A8 e-tron. It targets affluent buyers who want flagship comfort, cutting-edge technology, and zero-emission driving in a single, imposing package. With a wheelbase designed for rear-seat indulgence, the i7 is as much a chauffeur's car as a driver's car.
