BMW i7 India details
On sale in eDrive50 and M70 variants; priced from Rs 2.05 crore to Rs 2.5 crore
The i7 launched in India in January 2023 as the xDrive60 at Rs 1.95 crore with a 544hp dual-motor setup. However, BMW India replaced the xDrive60 with a 449hp single-motor variant in the form of the eDrive50 in October last year. The i7 eDrive50’s 101.7kWh battery pack has a WLTP range of 603km and can be charged from 0 to 100 percent in 10 hours and 45 minutes using an 11kW AC charger. A 195kW fast charger would take it from 10 to 80 percent in just 34 minutes.
Do note that the BMW i7 is also available in M70 xDrive form for Rs 2.5 crore. It packs the same 101.7kWh battery but has a total output of 650hp and 1,015Nm that goes to all four wheels. The i7 M70’s claimed WLTP range is 560km. However, the offer introduced on the i7 eDrive50 is not available on the i7 M70.
In India, the BMW i7 eDrive50 rivals the likes of the Mercedes EQS sedan, which costs Rs 1.63 crore. The i7 M70, meanwhile, has no direct rivals but did previously see competition from the Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 4Matic+.
