The concept will be on display at the IAA Munich show.
The BMW 7 Series has received an extensive facelift in 2020, but the core of BMW’s flagship sedan dates back to 2015. Although an all-new version of the BMW 7 Series is in development, it won’t likely be available this year. It appears that will be able to see a prototype car at the end-of-summer.
A source unnamed is alleged to be connected to BMW You can say the same to Automotive News Europe The concept is expected to be on display at the German IAA Mobility auto show in September. This report does not call this a 7 Series specific concept. Instead, it claims that the vehicle will have design elements similar to those found on the next-gen sedan. This concept is expected to be the first BMW New Class platform-equipped car. It will be able to both produce electric power and can also hold hybrid and internal combustion powertrains. It can also be scaled and adapted to fit a variety of vehicle sizes and types.
It makes sense for the 7 Series as we know that a fully-electric version (possibly the i7) will be available soon. Many spy photos show an evolutionary approach to exterior shape. With the possibility of a deep diving grille similar to that in the 4 series getting stronger each day, Corner cameras have been seen on prototypes that are likely to be used for blind-spot monitoring and semi-autonomous driving technology. However, most of the car is still hidden under multiple layers of camouflage.
Rumours suggest that the new 7 Series will be released in 2022, as a model for 2023. The most recent spy photos still feature an early test vehicle with placeholder lighting and mismatched wheels. A debut is unlikely to be made soon. It’s possible that BMW will present a 7-like concept car in September. This would be compatible with a debut date of late 2022.
