i7 highway range at 120 km/h

Unusually, NRCan's tests show the xDrive60 (19-inch wheels) using 6% less energy on the highway than in the city, so highway range is close to or above the combined rating. NRCan's highway cycle averages well under 100 km/h, so we take its highway figure and reduce it by 15% for 120 km/h. The i7 ranks #11 of 62 on this estimate.

i7 real-world range

Real-world range depends on speed, temperature, wheels and load. Mixed driving in mild weather usually lands near the rated 500 km. Sustained highway speeds pull it toward the 440 km estimate, and a cold highway trip can drop it further; see the i7 winter range. For trip planning, most drivers use between 10% and 80% (charging stops) or 100% (leaving home) of the battery, which is about 326 to 419 km of highway driving.
