The BMW i7 is one of the most recent all-electric vehicle models available in the United States, with a range of approximately 300 miles.
The vehicle was announced in April 2022, and deliveries in the United States began in November, bolstering BMW’s electric lineup.
This post will examine the i7’s EPA range, energy consumption ratings, general specs, and prices.
The all-new 2023 BMW i7
There is currently only one version of the BMW i7 on the market: the xDrive60, which comes standard with a 107.8-kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery, of which 101.7 kWh is accessible, and a dual motor, all-wheel-drive system with an overall output of up to 400 kilowatts (kW). This configuration is g
The EPA combined range varies depending on wheel size and ranges from 296 to 318 miles:
- 2023 BMW i7 xDrive60 19-inch: 318 miles (512 km)
- 2023 BMW i7 xDrive60 20-inch: 296 miles (476 km) 22 miles, or 7% le
- 2023 BMW i7 xDrive60 21-inch: 308 miles (496 km) 10 miles, or 3% less
The energy consumption figures (along with charging losses) enable us to measure that the EPA highway range should be above 300 miles (303-328 miles) in each case, which is a good result for a big, luxurious, and heavy electric sedan.
The European WLTP scores for the BMW i7 range between 367 and 388 miles.
According to the EPA, the entry-level model’s typical energy consumption (including charging losses) is 89 MPGe or 379 watt-hours per mile (235 Wh/km). This is comparable to crossover/SUVs. Energy consumption will be relatively high with larger wheels.
