BMW says it has developed the system for unexpected situations in which owners can\u2019t juice up the car\u2019s battery as originally intended, such as when the charging station is out of order. Activate the mode and the German luxury brand says the range can increase anywhere from 15 to 25 percent.<\/p>\n<p>However, it won\u2019t magically happen as you\u2019ll have to make quite a few sacrifices to extract more miles from the 101.7-kWh battery pack. For example, you won\u2019t be able to go faster than 56 mph (90 km\/h) and you won\u2019t have access to the full power delivered by the two electric motors. Activating Max Range mode also turns off the climate control system while the rear window heating is automatically turned to the lowest setting. Seat heating and ventilation are also deactivated, and concomitantly, steering wheel heating is turned off as well.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/bmw-i7-m70-driving-08.jpg\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-449592\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/bmw-i7-m70-driving-08-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/bmw-i7-m70-driving-08-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/bmw-i7-m70-driving-08-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/bmw-i7-m70-driving-08-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/bmw-i7-m70-driving-08-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/bmw-i7-m70-driving-08.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-449592\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20553%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/bmw-i7-m70-driving-08-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/bmw-i7-m70-driving-08-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/bmw-i7-m70-driving-08-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/bmw-i7-m70-driving-08-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/bmw-i7-m70-driving-08-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/bmw-i7-m70-driving-08.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>BMW mentions you can turn on Max Range from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2023\/03\/08\/bmw-idrive-8-5-update\/\">iDrive 8.5\u2019s<\/a> touchscreen, by using the rotary knob, or voice commands. When it\u2019s on, the digital instrument cluster is updated to show the speed and power gauges accordingly. The additional range obtained is included in the remaining range projection made by the trip computer. The function is turned off during hard in-gear acceleration or when you activate the M Sport Boost function. It also switches off when windscreen ventilation is dialed to the maximum.<\/p>\n<p>The Munich-based marque doesn\u2019t specify whether the already built <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2023\/04\/10\/bmw-i7-practicality-test-how-many-banana-boxes-fit\/\">i7 xDrive60<\/a> vehicles will get the functionality through an over-the-air update or if it\u2019s going to be offered only on freshly built cars. Since these changes to the settings are not complicated, it seems likely an OTA update will bring Max Range to existing cars.<\/p>\n<p>It would make sense for other EVs from BMW\u2019s lineup to get this feature, which could come in handy when running low on battery juice. Of course, you don\u2019t actually need it in an extreme situation since a driver can just turn all those functions off manually and go easy on the throttle to maximize range.<\/p>\n<p>Source: BMW<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Debuting today on the i7 M70 and trickling down to the i7 xDrive60 is a Max Range driving mode to maximize efficiency.
