Bentley Flying Spur Vs BMW i7 FAQs

The Flying Spur Hybrid (base) is priced at ₹5.25 crore ex-showroom in Delhi. The top Mulliner W12 variant costs about ₹7.60 crore ex-showroom in New Delhi. On-road price (Delhi) for mid to high variants will be significantly above ex-showroom, after adding road tax, insurance, customisations etc.

The ARAI claimed combined mileage for many Flying Spur variants is ~ 10.2 km/L. In city traffic, it drops: city mode mileage ~ 5-6 km/L for W12 or V8. On highway or hybrid mode, or when using electric assist in hybrid variant, you can get somewhat better efficiency. Electric-only range in hybrid is about 40-41 km.

If driving 50 km/day (~1,500 km/month): Hybrid V6: ~ ₹ 15,750 fuel cost/month V8: ~ ₹ 18,900 / mo W12: ~ ₹ 26,700 / mo

These big luxury sedans don’t come cheap to maintain: Routine service (oil, filters, inspections, minor wear parts): might cost ₹1.5-3 lakh+ depending on variant. Major servicing (brakes, tyres, larger components, hybrid battery checks if applicable): could escalate to ₹5-10 lakh in heavy use. Insurance: Because ex-showroom is ~₹5-7.6 crore, on-road value much higher, insurance could be ₹20-30 lakh/year or more depending on coverage, driver profile etc. Other running costs: tyres (premium ones), brakes, tyres wear, battery servicing (for hybrid), custom parts, etc. These add significantly.

Standard safety features include multiple airbags (front, side), ABS with EBD, electronic stability/trac traction control, brake assist, advanced braking hardware. Hybrid version adds modern driver assist systems (ADAS), parking sensors, rear camera etc. No public data found about Bharat NCAP crash test rating for the Flying Spur as of now. These big luxury import sedans often don’t get local crash tests, or test results are not published widely.

Depends on your priorities and tolerance: If your daily involves highways, long drives, you're okay with fuel and maintenance cost, then yes—luxurious comfort, silence, refinement, features will make it great. But city stop-and-go will kill fuel efficiency; size & parking will be headaches; parts/spare/servicing are expensive & fewer service centres. Hybrid version helps in city drives (electric mode for short trips), but still expensive.

Using fuel ₹107/L and assuming you drive 10,000 km/year in a mixed scenario with a variant around 10.2 kmpl (hybrid average): Fuel usage ≈ 10,000 / 10.2 = 980 litres/year Fuel cost ≈ 980 × 107 ≈ ₹1,04,860 per year Maintenance, insurance, tyres, extra costs etc might add ₹4-6 lakh/year depending on variant & usage Total running cost easily ₹5-7 lakh/year for hybrid; for W12 / V8 more like ₹8-12 lakh/year or more depending on how aggressively you drive and service frequency.

The BMW i7 ex-showroom price in India ranges from about ₹2.03 Crore for the eDrive50 M Sport variant up to ₹2.50 Crore for the top-end M70 xDrive model.

Length: 5,391 mm, Width: 1,950 mm, Height: 1,544 mm, Ground clearance: ~136 mm, Boot space: 500 litres. If you live in traffic-choked lanes, tight parking, or areas with rough roads, this car will test your patience. Not made for speed breakers like they’re hairpins. If your driveway is wide and you don’t punish your car on shattered roads, you’ll enjoy the presence.

Using standard values: electricity ~ ₹9 per kWh; battery ~ 101.7 kWh; claimed range ~ between 560-625 km depending on variant. If range = 603 km (for eDrive50), energy used per km ≈ 101.7 ÷ 603 ≈ 0.1686 kWh/km → cost ≈ ₹1.52 per km. If variant gives 560 km, cost ≈ ₹1.82 per km. Of course, real cost will be higher in heavy traffic or with full AC etc. Still way cheaper per km than petrol luxury sedans in this price bracket.

1. AC charging: roughly 10-11 hours using a home/slow charger (11 kW). 2. DC fast charging: 10-80% in about 34 minutes using ~195 kW fast charger. If you have a fast charger accessible (home, office, premium public charger), long drives become manageable. If not, you’ll depend on public slow chargers which drains time.

You should consider the i7 if you: 1. Demand prestige, want a statement luxury electric sedan that says “I’ve made it.” 2. Have stable finances, ready to spend big not just on purchase but on insurance, charging setup, and maintenance. 3. Live in urban or upscale suburban areas where good roads and charging infrastructure exist. 4. Want comfort, tech, silent ride, luxury interior more than ruggedness or low cost. On the flip side: if cost is sensitive, you face poor road infrastructure, or you need high ground clearance, there might be better choices.

1. Running costs are lower vs petrol/diesel in terms of “fuel” because you pay for electricity. But service costs, tyres, insurance premiums will be very high. 2. Battery warranty typically covers many years (BMW offers long battery warranties), but replacements or repairs are expensive.
