BMW has released a picture of its all-electric 7 Series sedan undergoing winter testing in Sweden. The luxury automaker shared the image of the camouflaged EV on its social media platform, informing that the luxury electric saloon is in the final testing phase.

The Bavarian automaker has not revealed any technical specifications about the upcoming electric sedan, however, it might draw power from a dual-motor set-up that has been rated to churn out a power output of 523hp. Based on the same technology as the BMW iX, it is being guessed that the new EV might be able to sprint from zero to 100 kmph in 4.6 seconds. As the former comes in three variants that are xDrive40, xDrive50 and M60, it is being expected that the i7 may follow a similar suite.
