EV BMW i7 enters Abu Dhabi, engineered with EGA produced CelestiAL solar aluminium

The official importer of BMW Group vehicles in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, Abu Dhabi Motors (ADM), launched the all-new BMW 7 Series and BMW i7.

The new BMW 7 Series has been redesigned in a highly contemporary manner and is packed with a variety of cutting-edge innovations, opening a new chapter in the history of the famous model that made its debut 45 years ago.

The innovative all-electric BMW i7 will be available alongside the daring new 7 Series. The cutting-edge i7 offers sustainable transportation alternatives thanks to responsible material sourcing and a charge range of up to 625 kilometres. This includes utilising aluminium with the brand name CelestiAL, produced by Emirates Global Aluminium using solar power.

The new BMW 7 Series is offered in the UAE as a conventional or battery-electric vehicle, driven by an open technology approach. Regardless of the powertrain a client chooses, they will enjoy the highest levels of sophistication, comfort, and performance, all of which are defining characteristics of the BMW brand.
