Find chargers on the map →Who it suits
Drivers who want the M Sport version of the i7. It has the same 101.7 kWh battery, up to 625 km claimed (about 440 km at highway speed), 400 kW, all-wheel drive and a 500 litre boot as the xDrive60.
Who should look elsewhere
Value-focused buyers. It costs about R80 000 more than the i7 xDrive60 for styling and equipment. The DC charging figures (200 kW, 30 minutes) come from European data, not South Africa.
