ET9 vs. BMW 7 Series: The Battle for Luxury & Intelligence

Power & Range: ET9 features a dual-motor AWD system with 707 hp, 0–60 mph in 4.3 seconds, and a 400+ mile range with fast charging and battery swap; the BMW 7 Series offers multiple powertrains but falls short in range.

Smart Driving: ET9 boasts three LiDARs, 4D imaging radar, and a 5nm self-developed driving chip, supporting L4-capable hardware; the BMW 7 Series is limited to L2 ADAS.

Luxury Interior: ET9 adopts a four-seat executive layout with massage seats and a 35-speaker sound system; the BMW 7 Series emphasizes traditional luxury but lacks some of ET9’s futuristic features.

Design Philosophy: ET9 exudes futuristic elegance with an ultra-low 0.243 Cd drag coefficient, while the BMW 7 Series retains its classic, bold luxury aesthetic.

Brand Influence: ET9 appeals to tech-savvy consumers with its innovation, while BMW’s century-long legacy continues to command premium market recognition.
