Video Summary

Here is the video summary:

The car is very imposing, large, and feels swollen at almost 5.4 meters in length and 195 centimeters in width. The car is mainly competing against Audi A8 and Mercedes S-class. This new model takes technology, refinement, and luxury to a different level. It's a sedan.  Sedans are a favorite category. This one fulfills all that the reviewer loves about cars, so it's something very special.

The BMW i7 has reverse assistant, which records the reversing for autonomous reversing. The i7 has 544 horsepower from that 101.7 kilowatt hour battery pack, with four-wheel drive together with rear-wheel steering. When driving in tight spaces and situations it drives smaller than it looks. The best thing about it is how quiet it is, at either 50 or 200 kilometers per hour.

Some features that are nice are the crystal headlights, and door handles. Competing EVs have similar range, this is not a highlight.

The steering is great, having that sporty feel, though it doesn't feel as sporty as in the smaller ones, because of the weight. It weighs 2700 kilos and delivers torque without raising your pulse.

The car has a light interior, Alcantara on the roof, with a big window in the roof that opens.  The 32-inch, 8k screen folds down for passengers, a good source of entertainment. The leather quality in materials is excellent. The control knob is clicky and good like a safe.

The buttons felt a little delayed. In all, the car gives a great experience, and has lots of goodies that work very well.

The M Sport package Pro makes it sporty. It looks good from the rear. It seems like it's just a big, big giant with a 3D effect. It grabs people's attention, so it feels VIP and embassy-car like.

Fast charging happens at 195 kilowatts. From 10 to 80% charge, charging takes about half an hour. There is regen braking but the pedal has a different feel. It's still soft when you brake hard. The aerodynamic rims benefit the handling. The car feels planted with 4WD.

The car has a comfortable and luxurious feel that the reviewer enjoys.
He gives the car a “thumbs up”. It’s a home run. It has dignity in a very elegant, comfortable, and refined way. If you can, then just go for it. You will get the very best of the best when it comes to luxury.
