This huge luxury saloon has controversial styling, and could have better range, but no car is more comfortable

It must be said, though, that it’s hardly the most efficient of vehicles. BMW claims impressive electric performance for the i7 – electric consumption of 19kWh/100km, and a potential range of 625km from its 101.7kWh battery pack. Is it ugly, though? Some will so say, doubtless, and it’s certainly not subtle but the styling has most definitely grown on me during my time with the car. The front end looks rather too aggressive when seen head on, but look at it in profile and there’s more of a sleek, shark’s-nose aspect to it. Equally, the detailing around the rear looks smoother and nicer the more you see it. It will never not look like a jarring sight parked next to ‘normal’ cars though – the sheer size sees to that.

That’s true in the back, too. With a wheelbase that’s actually slightly longer than that of the old long-wheelbase 7 Series, there’s ample stretching room, sunblinds on the side windows and a proper blackout blind on the rear glass. Overhead, there’s a standard panoramic glass roof, which optionally can be fitted with little filigree LED lines of light.
