I may be wrong, but it looks as if it is taking design cues from RR phantom...

Maybe someone can enhance the image with their computer wizardry?
He eventually posted the real deal. This would not be what the future 7 series would look like. Lack of split headlights and the Cadillac-esque design is a dead giveaway.

Lol, its literally a photoshopped Escala concept. Can even see the same plane in the background Not gonna lie though, a little nip and tuck around some areas and that wouldn't be a bad design…

Shieeeeeet all the split headlight conjecture for the past few months is real. Good job to the sleuths who figured it out when the XM and 7er mules were realllly heavily camo'ed.

That is indeed very very close to the the final design.

What is only missing here is the overall feel you have when looking at the car - I see something that is very sci-fi and I like it.

The back end reminds me the X6-vs-8series look on the other hand, also done quite softer than current G11 LCI.

Didn't they say a few years ago they weren't going to do a one piece grill with no split in the middle or was that only for the i division?

We saw the first glance of this with the m2 comp but there was still 2 distinct sections. This is a bit too far

I mean, they could have started the grille above the hood and ended it below the bumper like the G80 so at least there's that.

Ever think that maybe Kia stole their design from BMW, just blending them together and smoothing them out to not make it so obvious. After all, the Korean brands have always been VERY good with copying designs from luxury brands...not the other way around.

Likely for the radar sensor, maybe similar to the iX?

It resembles the 2 series active tourer grill, so not new technically design. Maybe the filing has more information apart from the design?



The new 5 series will also get a one piece grill with the radar in the middle.

But looking at the filing, I don't think we are seeing the actual 7 series grill. The height of the grill seems a bit too small, the prototypes show a much larger grill design, with the bottom portion of the grill being much deeper, enough to fit a standard EU sized license plate under the radar section.





But maybe I am wrong.
