A slightly inflated price relative to the equipment included in this car.

Comfortable, but feels a bit firmer (over small bumps) than the Q5. You can tell the car has some heft!! The electric power — 388 PS / 285 kW BEV — is incredible. The battery drops pretty quickly if you push the beast a little. The advertised 600 km range is generous on paper; expect more like 500, or even 450 in winter. The onboard technology is surprising and pushed to the extreme. After trying it, it's hard to go back to a non-electric model.

BMW i7

The BMW i7 is a quietly imposing electric limousine that wraps advanced tech and traditional Bavarian comfort in a futuristic skin. For buyers after serene luxury with a mischievous streak, it pampers rear-seat occupants while reminding the driver that BMW still knows how to make a big car feel alive.
