Available foR the fiRst time, the fully electRic BMW 7 Series sedan will arrive in New Zealand later this year.
The fully electric i7 which is based on the seventh-generation 7 Series flagship sedan joins BMW’s rapidly expanding line-up of forward-thinking, zero emissions mobility solutions. The combination of efficient electric drive optimised adaptive recuperation, improved climate control and high energy density for the high-voltage battery with usable capacity of 101.7kWh deliver a range of 590-625km on the WLTP cycle.

Development of the new 7 Series is aligned with BMW’s primary focus on C02 reduction, use of green energy and using a high proportion of natural and recycled materials in the production phase.
Another feature will be an innovative technology toolkit with new generation sensors, enhanced software stack and a powerful computing platform with clear potential for Level 3 automated driving and parking capability.
