The 750Li xDrive carries an improved 4-liter eight-cylinder turbocharged engine that is tailored to the Chinese market. It has better fuel efficiency than the old 4.4-liter engine, but offers the same maximum power output of 300 kW.
The new BMW 7 Series is 5,212 mm long with a wheelbase of 3,210 mm. It features the automaker's latest ConnectedDrive technology, which enables intelligent networking of the driver, vehicle and the digital landscape.
The top-of-the-line BMW sedan was first created about half a century ago and is now in its fifth generation.
China has been the world's biggest market for the 7 Series since 2009. The car is also the best-selling model in China in its segment.
