The worls’s most luxurious and dynamic hybrid
BMW’s
biggest sedan, the 7-series, was comprehensively updated for 2013 and now we’ve
got pricing info on the entire 7er lineup. The 7 enters this new model year with
tweaked six- and eight-cylinder engines, a new eight-speed automatic, and a
refocused Active Hybrid 7 model. (We’ve previously laid out the changes to the ActiveHybrid 7 and
the rest of the 7-series lineup.) Besides both the six-cylinder 740i and
eight-cylinder 750i gaining more power—the twelve-cylinder 760i went
unchanged—BMW also added an all-wheel-drive model to the 740i line. As
expected, every 2013 7-series costs more than last year—with the exception of
the ActiveHybrid 7. Significantly, the hybrid sees a massive price cut relative
to the 2011 version—the hybrid took a yearlong hiatus for 2012. Full pricing

740i: $74,195

Overall, the modest price
increases year-over-year for the non-hybrid 2013 7-series accurately reflect
the added value BMW built in, but the ActiveHybrid 7’s pricing is pretty
interesting. The first
ActiveHybrid 7 was positioned
similarly to the Lexus LS600h
hybrid, with the electric assist intended to give the eight-cylinder sedan the
power of a V-12 but with V-8 fuel economy. For 2013, BMW ditched the original
system for the same setup used in the smaller 2012
ActiveHybrid 5, which promises to be more efficient.
The BMW ActiveHybrid 7 have loaded with 6 cylinder 4 valve which produce
max 320 hp at 5800 RPM and max torque 450 Nm. It achieve 0-100 Km/h in 5.7 sec .The top speed of this is 250 Km/h.
Features
Brake
Energy Regeneration
The ActiveHybrid 7 uses the energy generated from deceleration with unparalleled efficiency. Touch the brake
paddle, and the hybrid management system uses the pressure on the brake pedal
to calculate the optimal interaction between
the electric motor and the conventional braking system. The electric assembly then
ensure the required braking effect, while also charging the high performance
lithium-ion battery with up to 15,000 watts.
An engine with a mind of it’s own.
In future,
you’ll be able to take your foot off the gas with a smile. Because the BMW
Activehybrid 7 electric motor act as a full- fledged generator when costing
and bracking.
Hybrid
Start Stop function
Efficient
even when stopped.
With the
hybrid start stop function and 8-speed automatic transmission, the BMW ActiveHybrid
7 conserves energy every time you stop. As soon as the vehicle stops at a traffic
light, the energy switches off automatically while the transmission remains in
the desired position. Give the command to go , and the electric motor starts
the engine and the connection to the gearbox and full power are restored. This
reduce the fuel consumption and emission , especially in stop and –go traffic.
Design.
Exclusive
appearance with an electrifying character: the new Adaptive LED Headlights
unite a striking form with dynamic function – new kidney grille slats and
chrome accents on the front apron further enhance the distinctive impression,
with the large air inlets reinforcing the muscular overall effect.
The
aptly named Air Curtains channel the airstream on the front apron and front
wheels. As a consequence, the drag resistance – and hence fuel consumption and
CO2 emissions as well – are effectively reduced.
The silhouette reveals the classical proportions of a BMW sedan in its most luxurious expression – particularly in the long version. Indicator lamps in the exterior mirrors reliably display any changes in course. At the rear, discreet changes in the contours, repositioned reflectors as well as intricate chromium elements round off the impressively masterful overall picture presented by the BMW ActiveHybrid 7.
Form and function for fewer emissions and more driving pleasure: resistance-optimised aerodynamic rims in Turbine styling guide the airflow optimally along the sides of the vehicle, thus reducing drag. The optional 19” aerodynamic rims and the Liquid Blue paint finish underline the progressive character of the vehicle, as do the ActiveHybrid 7 specific lettering on the rear, on the C pillars, in the interior and on the engine cover.

Driving
comfort.
Strength
comes from the calm within. This is why travelling in one of the most dynamic
luxury-class limousines is an extremely relaxing pleasure. Intelligent BMW
ConnectedDrive innovations ensure that you never lose your calm even when times
become hectic or situations unclear.
As
soon as you leisurely take a comfortable seat in the BMW ActiveHybrid 7 and
close the door behind you, an oasis of calm envelops you. All the frantic
activity of city life and traffic noise stay outside – on the inside only the
passengers and their comfort count.
Soothing relaxation awaits the strained muscles of rear passengers in the optional comfort seats with massage function. Twelve air chambers massage the back muscles with wave-like motions from top to bottom, while six further chambers rotate from the shoulders to the lumbar vertebrae. During the journey, the standard-feature air suspension for the rear axle and the COMFORT+ driving mode geared towards the ultimate in well-being, particularly when combined with the optional Integral Active Steering, confidently minimise any disruptive physical influences. Especially when seated in the rear cabin, you can take a very relaxed attitude towards poor road surfaces and dynamic cornering.
If space is the measure of all things, the long version continues to provide the ultimate comfort in terms of legroom.

Adaptive
LED Headlights.
The
Adaptive LED Headlights essentially shape the unmistakeable appearance of the
BMW ActiveHybrid 7. The accent line with indicator function cuts into the top
of characteristic light rings – thus decisively redefining the expression of
the entire front section.
The
distinctive form of the new BMW double-round headlights follows intelligent
function: daytime running lights as well as dipped and high beam shine from the
three-dimensional rings. The LED light illuminates the road with daylight
intensity and rich contrast, while the cones of the Adaptive Headlights
dynamically follow every turn in the road.
When bends are taken slowly, the integrated cornering lights enclosed by an elegant chrome strip automatically light up the area at the side of the vehicle. The Dazzle-free high-beam assistance offers best possible visibility for the driver without obstructing others. A mechanism inside the headlights intelligently masks areas with the potential for dazzling other road users.
