Luxury class comfort for four.
Given the position of the hydrogen tank beneath the parcel shelf and behind the rear seats, BMW Hydrogen 7 is modified at the rear, with luggage compartment capacity being reduced in the process to 225 litres or 7.9 cubic feet. And on account of the car’s overall package, the centre armrest is fitted firmly at the rear.
Hence, the BMW Hydrogen 7 is conceived as a four-seater, the two passengers at the rear enjoying the same high standard of grand touring comfort as in one of BMW’s “regular” luxury performance sedans.
The rear seat bench, for example, is positioned approximately 115 millimetres or 4.5´´ further to the front than in the long-wheelbase version of the
BMW 7 Series running exclusively on gasoline, but is still about 25 millimetres or almost 1.0´´ further to the rear than in the standard-wheelbase saloon.
As a result, legroom is as generous as one would expect in a car of this class also in the BMW Hydrogen 7.
This particular touch of comfort, class and style is also underscored by the car’s unusually wide range of standard features (ECE version): Over and above the high level of equipment featured from the start in the BMW 760i, BMW Hydrogen 7 comes inter alia with climate comfort composite glazing, BMW’s high-end automatic air conditioning, auxiliary heating, electric seat heating for the driver, front passenger and rear seats, lumbar supports, electric seat adjustment with memory function on the front seats, ISOFIX child seat fastenings, Park Distance Control, a rain sensor, exterior and interior mirrors with automatic anti-dazzle, Soft Close Automatic for the doors, and a headlight assistant.
A particular sign of distinction is the imprint “BMW Hydrogen Power”
on the sunblinds of the rear side windows, with the same message being proudly presented in the illuminated door entry strips.
BMW’s navigation system Professional, the HiFi system Professional complete with a CD changer, as well as a rear monitor with a DVD changer and TV function with DVB-T reception and a separate telephone at the rear all ensure maximum grand touring comfort.
Yet a further highlight of the BMW Hydrogen 7 is the BMW Assist telematics service and the Teleservice preparation kit. Then of course there are further highly convenient features such as Comfort Access, a heated steering wheel, Active Seats at the front, Comfort Seats at the front, active seat ventilation at the front, BMW Night Vision, Adaptive Headlights as well as voice recognition for controlling the navigation system, telephone and audio system also in the BMW Hydrogen 7. And last but certainly not least, BMW Online also provides access to special BMW Hydrogen information pages.
Progress without compromises.
The BMW Hydrogen 7 emphatically proves that changing over to an alternative form of energy does not mean missing out on superior driving dynamics and motoring comfort.
In fact, in neither its exterior looks nor in its driving behaviour does the BMW Hydrogen 7 resemble any of the cars presented so far in the general context of innovative drive technologies. Accordingly, this departure from fossil fuel does not in any way mean giving up the dynamics and performance so typical of a BMW. Rather, mobility of tomorrow and driving pleasure of today are by all means compatible, with the drive concept of the BMW Hydrogen 7 being directly transferable also to future models. So driving a car of this calibre will be just as thrilling in future as it is today, but at the same time cleaner than ever before.
Experiencing the future in the BMW Hydrogen 7.
Driving a BMW Hydrogen 7 means more than “just” experiencing the dynamic performance and supreme comfort of an exceptional luxury performance sedan. For the discerning individual driving the first hydrogen luxury performance automobile will at the same time be enjoying a truly exceptional pioneering experience. Indeed, such a first-hand experience of a breakthrough into a new age of individual mobility also means contributing to this development through one’s own expertise and probing mind. This is why every user of a BMW Hydrogen 7 is in exceptionally close touch with the engineers of the BMW Group involved in developing the car and its technology, allowing direct answers to all questions possibly arising in the use of such a brand-new technology. And of course this also means that BMW Group specialists receive ongoing and direct feedback on the experience of the users.
There can be no doubt that the launch of the BMW Hydrogen 7 also marks the beginning of an important test period. For despite the most intense testing, certain knowledge and findings can still only be obtained under practical driving conditions, particularly the “usability” of specific components in everyday motoring. After all, the BMW Hydrogen 7 differs in numerous details and functions from a BMW 7 Series with a conventional gasoline engine.
Launching the BMW Hydrogen 7, the BMW Group seeks not only a close dialogue, but also close cooperation: To establish hydrogen as a sustained alternative to fossil energy for individual mobility, ongoing development of technological potentials must be conducted in parallel to a close, direct and intense focus on the demands and interests of the car’s users.
Ultimately, therefore, this breakthrough into a new era of mobility is a challenge to all groups involved in this process. And the signal the BMW Group is sending out through the introduction of BMW Hydrogen 7 is directed not only to the network partners involved in politics, science and the energy
industry, but also to an open-minded group of users highly sensitive to trendsetting innovations in the world of mobility.
