Though, it is a bit of a stretch to check Mannequin S and Mannequin X to BMW’s 7 Collection or Mercedes’ EQS.

The second most sought-after variant was the 740d, which is the diesel-powered model. That is hardly a shock because it’s the most affordable model to get and run. The extra intriguing half is that the i7 is definitely the most costly iteration of all of them.
Of all ICE-powered 7 Collection, the plug-in hybrid took simply 15% of the share in January.
It is essential to remember the fact that this might simply be a blip on the radar, as BMW’s stats are from January solely. Or it could possibly be a begin of a pattern. We’ll see because the months go by.
