The prototype is undergoing durability and dynamics tests, and its appearance confirms that the model is moving towards series production. Unlike BMW's smaller electric models, the iX7 will not use the all-electric Neue Klasse architecture. Like the new X5 and iX5, it will be built on an updated version of the CLAR platform, which allows the production of cars with different types of drive. The BMW iX7 is expected to use technologies from the new iX5, including cylindrical battery cells and an 800-volt electrical system. BMW announces a net capacity of 144 kWh for the iX5 60 xDrive, a range of around 700 km and a maximum charging power of up to 460 kW. With the right infrastructure, charging from 10 to 80 percent should take around 22 minutes. The larger dimensions of the iX7 could free up additional space under the floor for an even larger battery. At least one of the versions is expected to receive the 578 hp dual-motor drive from the iX5 60 xDrive, and more powerful modifications with the M badge will follow later. The photos show that the electric model will retain the split headlight configuration known from the current X7. At the same time, the body will receive smoother surfaces and details related to the Neue Klasse design language...
