Ali Alghanim & Sons Automotive, the official BMW Group importer in Kuwait, has announced the arrival of the 6th generation BMW 7 Series, the latest edition of the sedan featuring a number of new technologies and design features.

Yousef Al Qatami, general manager of Ali Alghanim & Sons Automotive Company said: “The launch of the all-new BMW 7 Series here in Kuwait sets a new benchmark in the luxury car segment in our market. We are extremely proud and excited to be showing our customers the sixth generation of BMW’s flagship model, a car that truly brings a new meaning to luxury, we strongly believe this will be very well received by our customers, with so many industry first features making it far ahead of its competitors.”

A host of new BMW ConnectedDrive driver assistance features include the intuitive Touch Command: a 7-inch tablet positioned in the rear of the vehicle, offering passengers a completely new experience in controlling multiple in-car functions.

Through Touch Command, rear passengers are able to control in-car infotainment and comfort features, such as the new BMW 7 Series Vitality Programme, which offers luxurious in-seat massage options. A unique Gesture Control function, which offers those inside the vehicle with the option to increase the volume of the radio only by gesturing at the screen, is also one of the new technology features.

Driver and passengers alike can also look forward to the BMW 7 Series’ Sky Lounge, a panorama glass roof welcoming them to enjoy the day or star-filled night sky, as illuminated light patterns provide a luxurious interior light ambience in six colours.

Proving that personalised innovation is as crucial as design and ambience, the vehicle’s advanced chassis technology, which allows the driver to adjust the car’s set-up to their preferred requirements, creates an ideal balance between sports performance and comfort. Similarly, the vehicle’s progressive Driver Assistance Systems, including Lane Control Assistance, ensures drivers do not have to change the customary positioning of their hands on the steering wheel in order to undertake on-road manoeuvres.

Exuding confidence and power, the new model also comes armed with two comprehensively revised engines: the 6 cylinder 740iLi and 8 cylinder 750iLi xDrive, with the latter accelerating from 0–100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds at 450 hp, and the 6 cylinder equivalent offering an impressive 326hp, with a maximum torque of 450 Nm at 1380 rpm.

The on-road performance of both variants is enhanced through the incorporation of BMW EfficientDynamics, such as the premium vehicle’s lightweight Carbon Core, which ensures that the car is 130kg lighter than its predecessor. – TradeArabia News Service
