All-New 2024 BMW 7-Series Announced with BMW Personal Pilot L3
So, here is the All-New 2024 BMW 7-Series Flagship Sedan: The automotive company that has always offered benchmarking luxury cars has lately unveiled the new generation BMW 7-Series that is set to be offered in the market for the 2024 model. As expected, this new 7-Series is far superior to the previous one by new designs in both exterior and interiors, latest technologies, better performances, and the latest in Driver Assistance and Safety gadgets.
Updated Exterior Design
BMW’s kidney grille also expands on the latest 7-Series, to the point of absurdity. The 2024 model has a large vertical grille which is an emphasis on the brand’s modern design. The headlights are also redesigned with an engaging LED lighting design.
A look at the car from the side profile shows that the new 7-Series is slimmer as compared to the previous model. At the back, there are unique 3D taillights, giving a high-tech impression.
On the whole, the design and shape of the exterior look like a progression from the previous 7-series gen, with features such as an extended hood and short rear deck retained. But there could be no doubt that the sheer size of the kidney grille will attract attention on the road.
New Cabin Home Fitted with Modern Technology
The new 7-Series is said to be equipped with a range of technological features for the luxury, comfort, and convenience of passengers. Some of the features of the interior include a curved screen for the Infotainment system and the Digital gauge cluster.
The user interface is described as being user-friendly, fully-voice integrated. Of course, automotive luxury is also expected in terms of load carrying capacity and is not limited to techniques like multi-contour seats with massage ability.
Some of the executive rear seat features include the seat recliner, and passengers can even lower the leg rests.
More Powerful Drivetrains
BMW will probably launch the six cylinder and V8 versions in the United States with the incorporation of an electric hybrid technology to increase the fuel efficiency.
Some of the plug-in hybrid models can run on electricity in a limited range. Output figures have not been disclosed, however, it is anticipated that it will surpass the outgoing 7- Series. This rear-wheel-drive luxury sedan will have traction control from BMW’s xDrive all-wheel-drive system.
Do not be surprised by the fact that BMW cars accelerate quickly as this is a trademark of this company. An 8-speed automatic transmission will be standard for all the variants along with the auto-stop start system.
As an industry first, BMW is introducing the BMW Personal Pilot L3 driver assistance.
One of the largest talking points surrounding the 2024 7-Series is the BMW’s hi-tech driver assistant systems known as BMW Personal Pilot L3.
What make it stand out is the advanced drive assistance feature that can drive the car on its own for some distance. For instance, on some of the divided highways, the car owner can turn on the system, and let go of the steering/accelerator or brake pedals because the car follows the car in front of it at the selected speed while maintaining the middle of the lane.
Of course, the driver needs to be aware to take the steering wheel if necessary to avoid any mishaps. Such a minimalistic intervention should help to save drivers from getting too tired while on long distance travel. Nevertheless, raise unrealistic expectations either – it is not a fully self-driving car.
It is therefore my opinion that the 2024 BMW 7-Series will be one of the best cars in the market when it is released.
From the foregoing details, it is apparent that the new 7-Series has what it takes to be a technology front-runner as BMW’s flagship.
The change in the exterior design makes the car stand out more but does not take away from the comfort it still provides as it is an executive car with all the technologies that one would need. The powertrains that are equipped with the electric component are more refined and much more efficient.
Conclusion
Depending on the market strategy and pricing, the 7-Series might witness an increased sales, particularly with the incorporation of the L3 technology applicable for personal pilot use. However, styling preferences are relative, so some people may deem the huge kidney grille as too imposing.
This is a positive development and as a luxury car enthusiast, I can only look forward to more innovations in this segment. The current 7-Series does not disappoint as it is as good as the previous models, if not better, and still remains a benchmark for its competition to shoot at.
However, the task of sustaining customer loyalty will be equally challenging and will demand high standards of engineering and focus on owners.
