最近谍照记者再次拍到了宝马7系改款车照片，这次拍到了车辆内装。车内配备了全数字仪表群而非现行版的物理指针和后面的显示屏布局。这一改变表明7系车此举是为了保持与奔驰S级的竞争力。车厢内其他部分改变不大。在车身外观，改款7系似乎配备了更大格栅和更突出边框。这次升级与宝马X7测试车似乎达到了同步水平，而X7的很多外观元素都将与7系车共享以突出家族特性。此外，这辆测试车的前脸底部也进行了改款，底部矩形开口比现行版位置更高一些。格栅两侧的投射前大灯造型也更方正。而在车尾，这辆7系测试车还配备了升级版LED尾灯组，升级后的尾灯组进一步突出了车身宽度。底部的四排气尾管造型也更锐利。据传宝马可能不会为欧版M760i提供V12引擎，但这辆车上仍带有V12标志。或许先前的报道并不准确，或者宝马设法对车辆进行改进，使动力系统排放更环保。7系搭载的其他引擎也进行了升级以提升功率。7系改款车将于明年3月投产并将作为2020款车型在美国上市。

 

BMW 7 Series Refresh Spied Testing With Fully Digital Instruments

The refreshed BMW 7 Series has been spied once again, and the new photos have fully revealed the model's updated cabin. It now includes a fully digital display, rather than the existing layout with physical needles and a screen behind them. The switch would make sure that BMW's top sedan keeps up with competitors like the Mercedes S-Class. The rest of the cabin configuration doesn't appear to change much.

 

On the outside, the refreshed 7 Series appears to have a larger grille with much more prominent surrounds. The updates seem to match what's under the camouflage on X7 test mules, which suggests the brand's top models would share similar visual elements to give them a family resemblance. In addition, the lower fascia on this test mule appears to have revised inlets. They now appear to be taller than the more rectangular openings on the existing 7 Series. The projectors in the headlights now seem to have a boxier appearance, too.

 

At the back, this 7 series test mule appears to have updated LED taillights, and the updated design really accentuates the model's width. The exhaust outlets appear to have sharper edges, too.

 

Rumors suggest that BMW might drop the M760i's V12 from the European lineup, but this test mule still retains the V12 badge on the center console. Perhaps the earlier report wasn't accurate, or the company managed to make tweaks for making the powerplant more emissions friendly. The rest of the powertrains will allgedly receive upgrades for boosting their outputs.

 

The refreshed 7 Series will reportedly begin production in March 2019, suggesting a sales starting for the 2020 model year – at least in the United States.
