Pros & cons

BMW i7 xDrive70

AWD traction adds confidence in varied conditions and performance driving
Room for five and a 500 L trunk suit longer journeys with passengers and luggage
High purchase price at 119,900 targets the top end of the segment
Sedan body offers less cargo flexibility than an SUV despite a generous trunk
Limousine-style size may be harder to maneuver and park than smaller cars
Not aimed at budget-focused or utilitarian buyers; comfort and power take priority

AWD stability plus a 550 L trunk and five seats suit road trips and growing families
High purchase price limits appeal to budget-focused buyers
Efficiency benefits shrink if you can’t charge frequently
100 km EV range is shorter than a full EV for all-electric long trips
