New ActiveHybrid 7 L
What’s New: The luxury flagship sedan has a new exterior, which is adorned by articulating LED headlights. The German automaker also offers a reworked interior, new seat designs and an updated iDrive system. Moreover, to cap things off, a second-generation 7-Series hybrid joins the line up this model year, with the latest improvements to enhance fuel-effiency.
Pros: Our flagship BMW was
equipped with a number of must-have features. One of the stand out features was
the hybrid-like, gas-saving Auto Start-Stop function. In order to activate the
system, the 7-Series automatically shuts off, while the vehicle is at a stop,
allowing the battery to recharge while the driver’s feet is off of the throttle.
This feature helps to save fuel consumption up to 6 percent, according to BMW’s
engineers.
Another unique feature in this
year’s 7-Series is how the driver can change the ride characteristics of the
vehicle simply by rotating the dial on the i-Drive system. So, by altering the
driving settings, this changes the engine response, the power steering
characteristics and the stability control dynamics.
Moreover, the 7-Series offers a
larger than life split-screen, which shows 3-D graphic for directions, real-time
traffic, real-time weather updates, maintenance information and more.
Added to that, our vehicle was
outfitted with an Executive package, which consisted of a power rear sunshade,
a power side sunshades for the rear passengers, front ventilated seats,
instrument panels with leather, a Head-up display system, an integration system
for the Smarthphone and BMW apps.
Furthermore, our flagship
vehicle included a M-Sport package, too, which included 20-inch wheels, a
special M-steering wheel, an aerodynamic kit and an anthracite headliner.
Lastly, our 7- series vehicle
included a radar-oriented blindspot system, a side and top view camera and a
night vision system, with a pedestrian detection system.
Cons: The 7-series does have a few
quirks. For those who aren’t quite familiar with BMW’s knob-operated i-Drive
system, which controls everything from the nav center functions to the audio
system to the back up camera can be a little cumbersome to find the actual
functions. We recommend that one goes through an online course (or spend time with a BMW sales consultant), so that they are
familiar with all of the functions and uses of this highly evolved system.
Conversely, its too bad that with all of this technology, BMW
hasn’t added an electronic parking system to assist drivers with parallel parking
this luxury flagship vehicle, so that they won’t scrape the high-dollar right front wheel, as we did.
Verdict: For buyers seeking the
ultimate, high-tech performance-oriented luxury vehicle, the BMW 7 series
should fit the bill. The 7-series unlike most of the vehicles in this segment
has the ability to transform from being a vehicle with a luxury ride to a big
body BMW performance-oriented ride. Yes, this flagship vehicle manages to
captivate the best of both worlds, but at a cost.
Competition: Audi A8, Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Lexus LS
