Following recently published official photos from testing on the edge of the Arctic Circle, the BMW i7 has moved to significantly different climatic conditions at an unknown location in southern Europe.

The luxury BMW i7 will be premiered to the public next year, with a new generation of the 7 Series that will continue to use internal combustion engines. It is already known that the Bavarian response to similar models offered primarily by German competition will be powered by two electric motors whose potential will be distributed to both axles.

“Endurance test in the hot regions of various countries and continents serves in particular to test and safeguard all components of the electric drive system,” said BMW.

The BMW i7 will be powered by one electric motor at the front and two electric motors at the rear with a total output of around 650 horsepower. It will be equipped with a 120-kWh battery pack, sufficient for a range of 435 miles (700 kilometers).

The arrival of the BMW i7 has been announced for 2023, while the Series 7 is coming next year.
