The new BMW 7 Series brings new mobility, and also incorporate advanced technologies and lightweight materials in its construction, between the supply of engines will be a plug-in hybrid engine.
The character of the new BMW 7 Series, facing the future, is underlined by the expansion of the range thanks to the BMW 740e BMW 740Le 740Le and BMW xDrive.
In the case of these hybrid models such as "plug-in" Carbon Core both the cabin and the drivetrain technology BMW eDrive are the result of the experience gained during the development of BMW i cars.
Incorporating the BMW 740e to the model range, the BMW eDrive technology debuts in the segment of the most exclusive saloons, previously had installed for the first time in BMW i models.
The plug-in hybrid model, which is also offered in long wheelbase version (BMW 740Le), as well as its variant with intelligent all-wheel drive BMW xDrive 740Le has a gasoline engine four-cylinder and an electric motor that together develop an output of 240 kW / 326 hp.
The new members of the new BMW 7 Series, the BMW and the BMW 740e 740Le have a combined consumption of 2.1 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers (740Le BMW xDrive: 2.3 liters), or a combined consumption of electric current of 12.5 kWh / 100 km (BMW xDrive 740Le 13.0 kWh).
The corresponding value of CO2 is 49 grams per kilometer (740Le BMW xDrive: 53 grams) per kilometer (values test cycle EU to plug-in electric hybrid vehicles, dependent on the size of the tires).
The energy consumed by the electric motor is powered by a high-voltage lithium-ion battery mounted in a specially secure position under the rear seat, which is not exposed to possible impacts. To recharge it, you can connect to any conventional outlet, but also to a BMW i Wallbox or public charging stations.
With eDrive key, located in the center console, the driver can affect the operating mode of the hybrid system. Being active AUTO eDrive basic setting, the combustion engine receives the motor assist perceptible during recovery or acceleration maneuvers.
If the MAX eDrive mode, both the BMW and the BMW 740e 740Le can go only with the electric motor a distance of 40 kilometers (740Le BMW xDrive: 37 km) you are active, which means displacement without generating emissions.
Addition mode can be activated Battery Control, which is increased or, at least, the charge level of the battery voltage remains high.
Thus, electrical energy can then be used to drive the electric motor only. While the browser function activated route guidance, the forward management of energy makes the necessary calculations to develop a strategy and select a route that allows reach the destination drive with the electric motor.
The standard equipment of the BMW 740e, 740Le BMW xDrive and BMW 740Le also includes a stationary heating and cooling, which runs on electric energy from the high-voltage battery or electric current from a wall current during operation of battery charging.
In addition, the BMW eDrive technology allows the car to operate only with electric emissions-free driving for 40 km in length and reaching a top speed of 120km / h. The high-voltage battery for plug-in electric hybrid model BMW 740e also come from Dingolfing plant.
