In today’s car market, if you want to buy a pure electric large sedan, the BMW i7 should be the only choice. When BMW released the pure electric flagship i7 in April 2022, it announced that it would launch a more powerful M family version. The i7 M70 xDrive introduced to you today also appeared on the Shanghai Auto Show stage this year. On December 12, the BMW i7 M70 xDrive top electric vehicle was officially launched in Hong Kong. This model has a battery capacity of 101.7 kWh and a maximum cruising range of 488-560km. The price after Hong Kong’s “one-for-one” program starts at HK$2.8999 million. (equivalent to about RMB 2.63 million).
In fact, BMW launched the new i7 xDrive 60 flagship electric luxury car in Hong Kong in November last year. A year later, it launched this high-performance version of the i7 M70 xDrive. The drive unit is highly integrated, and the motor, power equipment and gearbox are integrated. One body, smooth power. The noble temperament can be seen from the interior and M logo design. Of course, the price is also nearly 900,000 more expensive than the standard xDrive60 version. The dealer has set up an experience center on the first basement floor of K11 Musea in Tsim Sha Tsui to provide on-site test drive services.

Perhaps different from the mainland, the luxury car BBA is not tied in the minds of Hong Kong people. Hong Kong people prefer Mercedes-Benz and BMW, and Audi is rarely mentioned together. We can get a glimpse of this from the incident where the president of the University of Hong Kong changed his car this year. The president’s car of the University of Hong Kong used to be a Mercedes-Benz S350. Last year, the car replacement process was started. The president only arranged for two models: Mercedes-Benz EQS450 and BMW i7 xDrive60 During the model test drive, there were no executive models from brands such as the Audi A8 (panoramic view of the car). Afterwards, I chose one of the two, and finally selected the more expensive BMW i7 xDrive60.
