Equally amazing is the 7 series. According to foreign media "Motor 1", BMW plans to launch the next generation 7 Series in 2022, and announced that the 7 Series will have a pure electric version and will be the strongest model. This also means that the V 12 engine is almost impossible to pass.
The two flagship luxury large cars, the 7 Series and the S Class, are becoming more and more "free", so will they become what we want in the next few years?
Series 7 is becoming more and more "masculine" and S-class is becoming more and more "exquisite"?
There is no doubt that the huge grille with a 40% increase in the area of the 7 series in the middle of the sale is bound to attract attention. Why do you ask BMW to make the grille so big? I don't think we should just talk about the grille, or we won't understand BMW.
When 20 15 G 12? When the 7 Series was first listed, it did play the slogan "Time is divided by it", which was avant-garde in appearance and highly recognizable, but it never occurred to me that only one and a half years later, G3X? The 5 series was born, and it can be said that the shape difference between the 5 series and the 7 series is very small. Even if I look at their design drawings, it is almost difficult to see the difference, which also had some impact on the sales of the 7 series at that time.
The upper part is the 7-series design before the reform, and the lower part is the 5-series design.
Therefore, when the mid-term modification of the 7 Series was introduced last year, the grille was enlarged a lot, but at the same time, the height of the front was increased by 50mm, and the headlight group became more slender to match the huge grille, which made the whole front face have a vertical downward momentum and high recognition. Although the appearance is different, after seeing the real car, you must admit that the 7 series is more imposing.
The upcoming new generation of Mercedes-Benz S-Class has changed a lot. Seems to have gone the opposite way. Through the exposed photos of the real car, the new S-class has been replaced with a headlight design similar to the current A-class, and it seems that the gas field has weakened a lot.
Next generation S-class real vehicle
The standard front face seems to be smaller. According to the renderings drawn by foreign media, I can't believe what I saw was S-class. Although the rendering is done according to Maibakh's S level, the overall outline is universal, and I can't help but feel that the gas field W 140 Tiger Ben, which used to make people stay away from each other, has now started to lose weight crazily.
Next generation S-level rendering
If you ask someone who likes it with the cash 7 series and the upcoming S class, maybe this person will choose silence. It is true that in the second decade of the 2 1 century, no matter whether it is Grade 7 or Grade S, it seems to be more and more forgetful, and the great changes seem to make people hesitate. So from the interior point of view, what have the 7 Series and S Class done recently?
The S-class uses more display screens, and the 7-series will switch to an integrated large screen.
As for the interior, the upcoming next-generation Mercedes-Benz S-Class can be said to be completely transformed. I used the integrated central control panel well and gave up as soon as I said it. According to the camouflage test vehicle, the S-class has returned to the design that the LCD instrument panel and the central control panel are placed independently, but if you look closely, you can't help but spit out the huge screen, which seems to have the same effect as Tesla.
Next generation S-class interior
Back to the beginning, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class will use the embedded screen of the door in the picture. This small screen can show the heating/ventilation/massage status of the seat, and the second half of the screen will also light up with gorgeous atmosphere lights. In other words, with the dashboard and the central control screen, an enclosed screen can be formed. This feeling is like splicing several monitors to play a simulated racing game, which is really novel.
In terms of Series 7, according to the report of foreign media "Motor 1", a replacement model will be launched in 2022, so what will happen to the interior of Series 7? Bian Xiao boldly guessed that the next generation of 7 series will adopt integrated large screen.
Because iNEXT, the flagship symbol of BMW SAV, will be put into production next year, according to the spy photos disclosed on the Internet, iNEXT is equipped with an integrated large-screen central control and curved surface design, so there is no reason for the 7 Series, which is also the flagship, not to adopt this design, and the increase in screen area also means that there will only be fewer and fewer physical buttons in the future, just as the new 7 Series recently listed has cancelled the CD player.
INEXT interior will be mass-produced next year.
Mercedes-Benz will return to split-screen design, but BMW will move towards integrated big screen. This seems intriguing, just like the agreement, but it is not over yet, even in terms of power. ...
The next generation of the strongest 7 series is actually a pure electric version, and the S-class will continue to retain V 12.
Do luxury cars really need to be so strong?
At one time, we couldn't imagine that a flagship luxury car would have a 2.0T engine, but with the development of technology, for example, after BMW used carbon fiber core in the 7 Series, even the power of 2.0T was strong enough, but unfortunately, it is almost impossible to have a V 12 engine for the next generation of 7 Series launched in 2022.
Due to the reduction of emission regulations and demand, the market of 12 cylinder engine has become smaller and smaller. It is said that BMW invests a lot of money to update the emission regulations of V 12 engine every year, and the cost of updating each vehicle is around several thousand euros, which has a certain impact on the sales of the 7 Series. Therefore, when some Tianbao officials announced that the next generation 7 Series would launch a pure electric version, and claimed that it was the most powerful version, it seemed to indirectly hit V6.
On Mercedes-Benz, Daimler CEO OlaKllenius confirmed that the new generation S-Class will retain the V 12 engine model, and it is expected that it will still be provided to Maibakh S680 model. You may have a lot of question marks at the moment, and the two rivals, the 7-series and the S-class, seem to run counter to each other.
When Series 7 decided to give up V 12, Class S still provided V 12 for S680. Although the performance of S-class V 12 is not as good as that of BMW, the V 12 engine that ordinary people can't reach can be saved, just like a deposit.
Although the strongest version of the next generation 7 Series will be a pure electric vehicle, this is not a bad thing. If the next-generation 7 Series can provide power close to V 12 internal combustion engine and provide long cruising range, then I think it will still be favored.
Write at the end:
The appearance is naturally different. For the 7-series and S-class models, they are like walkers who go to unknown places to practice. You can't predict whether their next changes will change the world or run counter to tradition, but there is no doubt that they will all present the highest definition of luxury large cars in this era.
With a budget of 654.38+0 million yuan, you will consider S-class and 7-series. The choice is naturally different. If we all develop as we want, maybe we won't become a pioneer in leading large cars.
Will you choose the next generation 7 series or the next generation S class?
