BMW i7
The i7 electric full-size sedan boasts the same output in xDrive60 trim (536 hp) as the gasoline-powered 760i. Neither trumps the i7 M70 xDrive, which delivers 650 hp and up to 811 lb-ft of torque. Their range is 500 km and 459 km, respectively, which falls short of competitors from Tesla and Lucid but surpasses some other German models. The car's weight is somehow adequately kept in check, resulting in a driving experience worthy of the BMW badge.
