BMW’s most powerful electric sedan ‘i7 M70' to launch in India soon; check details

The i7 M70 is unique among BMW models in that it comes finished in a two-tone paint job. Buyers have several colour options to choose from for the lower half of the body, including Oxide Grey, Aventurine Red, Tanzanite Blue and Dravit Grey. These can all be paired with a Black Sapphire upper half. The India-spec BMW i7 M70 will also be available with a wide range of interior upholstery schemes.

There are also three options for the interior trim. Standard options include ‘Fineline’ Black fine-wood trim with a high gloss metal effect and Oak mirror finish fine-wood trim with grey metallic high gloss. The only paid option is the Carbon fibre M interior trim with silver stitching and a piano black finish.

BMW i7 M70’s standard equipment includes an M interior package featuring an M steering wheel, M footrests and M Powerboost animation for the instrument cluster. Other features carried over from the i7 xDrive60 include dual screens up front, executive lounge seating, heated, ventilated and massaging seats all around, rear seat theatre screen, Bowers and Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound audio system, four-zone auto climate control, soft close doors and more.

The India-spec i7 M70 is expected to get its juices from a twin motor setup producing 660hp and 1100Nm of torque. This, as per the company, is good enough for a 0-100kph time of 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 250kph. The motors are powered by a 101.7kWh lithium-ion battery pack that provides up to 560km (WLTP) of range. Charging can be performed at up to 22kW on an AC system or 195kW on a DC set-up.

While no launch date has been specified yet for the BMW i7 M70 in India, it is expected to arrive soon. Once launched, BMW’s new electric sedan will compete against Mercedes’ electric sedan AMG EQS 53 4Matic+.
