7 Series (G70/G71/G73) [Rumors] BMW (G70) 7-Series Facelift (Spy pics & info)

Meaning?

Less sleek and sporty look like the W222 and more boat-looking like the G70 7er.

 

[SCOTT27]

Really? How so? Kacher is saying the W222 will get a big facelift and the only new S-Class will be EV.

Exactly it will have to cover all grounds.

I get that, that was the point. But let's be real here, a W140 is a prima donna compared to the G70.

Yup, it is simply huge. Size-wise is a segment above the W222.

Yup, it is simply huge. Size-wise is a segment above the W222.

Interestingly enough only exteriorwise.

 

[SCOTT27]

Next S-Klasse will probably be one concept covering both S-Klasse and EQS. Therefore the Aeroshape of the EQS will not fulfil the purpose of the traditional S-Klasse. In the EV world we are actually digressing rather than progressing.
Singular concepts are replacing the niche expansion of the last two decades shortening manufacturers portfolios. The age of niche within niches is probably at an end.

I think Mercedes will be more successful at hiding the EV platform with an S variant than BMW has been with this 7. The S has a design heritage that draws on some extremely imposing vehicles.

Obviously, the future of icon automobiles such as the M-B S-Class will pique the interests of armies of car enthusiasts. Myself included-and this despite the decreasing relevance of such large luxury segment sedans in many regions of the globe. Cars in the approx. 5 meter length segment are the "new" luxury segment nice size contestants. The E-Class, the BMW 5er, the Audi A6, Porsche Taycan and so forth. SUVs' and sport activity vehicles as well. Personally perceiving the EQS sedan as being ungainly rather than categorically ugly, some sort of fusion of the the W223s more conventional design paired with EQS elements could result in a highly attractive, eye pleasing car. I saw some Instagram images by an independant designer going by the name of colekessel on these forums quite recently. My opinion is that he comes quite close to nailing it. The upcoming MB.EA-L electric architecture will surely provide a suitable canvas that underlies some compelling automotive designcraft. As for the BMW 7/i7, I simply find that car far too large, especially pertaining to it's height and length. And certainly, the front end is polarizing. However, it's clean flank structure is attractive.

I agree.

Those EQS/S renders you speak of would certainly be a drastic improvement on the EQS, but I feel they lack some of the traditional S-class's elegance and gravitas. I supposed so much of that is due to it's 3 box design.

The 7 just looks like a lego block rolling down the road.

I thought the LCI was gonna make it look more in line with the Neue Klasse design language.

 

[Jacke]

it looks to me that the front is reminiscent of the Rolls Spectre

It would be dramatic if the lesson learnt from this stupid looking front end the G70 has was that the upper headlights are not thin enough.

We need to see better resolution photos to comment on what’s really going on

 

[leylandi]

It will be a little difficult to fix the ugly face. The worst 7 series in history.

Opposite actually, since there's little ways to make it worse.

And the 7er has created a history of radical facelifts by now, so nothing new really....

Nice! Changing the shape of the grille could fix the car. The shape and proportions are great, and the driving experience is class leading. It's just let down by the designs of the lights and bumpers. I think inspiration from the XM will be helpful.
