BMW 7er-Reihe G11/G12 740d M Sportpaket xDrive Steptronic - Terrain

Can the BMW 7er-Reihe G11/G12 740d M Sportpaket xDrive Steptronic also be used off-road? Here usually a distinction is made between "soft-roaders" and real off-roaders. For real off-road capability it needs more than just an all-wheel drive. The SUV boom of the last 10 years has produced many vehicles that look off-road but have limited capability to do so.

The BMW 7er-Reihe has all-wheel drive, which means that the basic requirement is already met. The ground clearance, another important criterion, is 135 mm for this car. This is an average value, i.e. dirt roads and slightly uneven terrain are no problem for the car.

The integrated air suspension allows the chassis to be raised under certain circumstances, thus increasing ground clearance. The integrated 360-degree camera can also help you move forward on rough terrain and avoid damage.

Rating: The motor vehicle does have all-wheel drive, but not least the lack of ground clearance indicates that a BMW 7er-Reihe is not made for off-road use.
