Exterior Of The 2024 BMW i7.
The new 7 Series, relatively high in the front, rather angular design, split headlamps and this huge double or even mono kidney. Versus the more, traditional design of the Mercedes S-Class, even if you pick the AMG line, you have the upright standing star on the hood, a little bit lower, more classic sedan form. That’s already a huge difference in the front. The 2024 BMW i7 comes with the length of “5.39 meters for the BMW 7 Series or 212 inches”. Length and rear-axle steering now only available in the long wheelbase version. The new length of the 2024 BMW i7 is 10 centimeters or 4 inches longer than the Mercedes S-Class.
In the rear, the design difference is very obvious once again, contemporary with the 7 Series but more angular design and then a more timeless classic sedan rear for the S-Class. As for the rear lamps, actually more stretched and slimmer with the BMW.
Interior Design Of The 2024 BMW i7.
The interior is where the i7 truly shines. Forget the somewhat controversial exterior design; this car is all about comfort and tech. The door handles are touch-activated and will automatically open entirely. They even have sensors to avoid opening into traffic. Once you’re inside, you’ll be greeted by incredibly comfortable seating and a whisper-quiet cabin. Even at highway speeds, you won’t hear potholes or road noise.
The i7 features a driver-focused cockpit with a new BMW iDrive system. There’s a digital instrument cluster with a customizable layout, a head-up display, and a large central touchscreen. The system is responsive and straightforward, and there’s even a gesture control feature (which might be more fun than practical). The voice assistant is surprisingly good at understanding commands and can control various car functions, including climate control and the heated seats. The infotainment system is just like the 2025 Hyundai Sonata’s.
The backseat is the i7’s true party piece. It’s the biggest backseat you could possibly need and features two reclining jet-like seats. There’s also an armrest with a hidden cup holder, wireless charger, storage compartments, and USB-C ports. But the most impressive feature? Each backseat passenger gets their own screen! These aren’t tablets; they’re built right into the car. You can control everything about your seat’s experience from these screens, including climate control, blinds, and even a massive 30-inch 8K touchscreen that drops down from the ceiling for watching movies. This touchscreen uses an Amazon Fire Stick UI and has its own data connection for always-on streaming.
The only downside to the backseat entertainment system is the UI, which can be a little tricky to navigate. There are a lot of menus to jump through, and the remote control isn’t the most intuitive. However, the novelty and functionality of a built-in backseat movie theater are undeniable.
There’s one more incredible feature: lounge mode. This mode automatically moves the front passenger seat all the way forward and reclines the backseat passenger seat to an almost horizontal position, complete with an extending legrest. It’s the ultimate relaxation experience for rear-seat passengers.
Performance Of The BMW i7.
In the electric luxury sedan arena, a battle for performance supremacy is brewing. The 2024 BMW i7 and the 2024 Mercedes S-Class, both shrouded in a bit of mystery, are poised to be powerhouses. The i7 charges out of the gate with dual electric motors estimated to crank out a formidable 530 horsepower. This translates to a thrilling 0-60 time of 4.5 seconds, pinning you back in your seat as you launch from a standstill. The i7 boasts a respectable range of 270 to 280 miles on a full charge, allowing you to enjoy the electric rush for extended journeys.
The 2024 Mercedes-Benz S580 packs a punch with its 4.0L twin-turbo V8 engine churning out 496 horsepower, and the reviewer even suspects it might be underrated. This translates to a thrilling 0-60 mph time in under 4 seconds. The car offers multiple drive modes, with Sport Plus unleashing the full force of the engine for exhilarating acceleration.
This means that, the 2024 BMW i7 boasts a whopping 650 horsepower, leaving the Mercedes-Benz S580 in the dust with its 496 hp, even though the S-Class is not competing in the electric vehicle segment. This makes the i7 a clear choice for drivers seeking powerful performance.
The 2024 BMW i7 Price.
The 2024 BMW i7’s price varies depending on the chosen trim level and options. The base model, the i7 eDrive50, starts at a competitive $105,700 and offers a driving range of 301 to 321 miles. Stepping up to the i7 xDrive60 bumps the starting MSRP to $124,200. Finally, the top-of-the-line i7 M70 boasts a starting price of $168,500.
