750 models are equipped with a chassis lifting function. This model features an air suspension system, which allows for both stiffness adjustment and height adjustment. Additionally, the vehicle is equipped with an integral active steering system. The model belongs to the large luxury car category and is sold in the domestic market through imports, with no domestically produced version available. Principle of car chassis lifting: The car is equipped with body height sensors. The hydraulic suspension control unit collects data through height sensors (or manual adjustment switches in the cabin) and vehicle speed, issuing commands to raise or lower the chassis. Four electromagnetic valves inject hydraulic oil into the four shock absorbers respectively, thereby achieving adjustable body height. The higher the vehicle speed, the lower the ground clearance of the chassis. Functions of car chassis lifting: Raising the chassis can appropriately improve the vehicle's off-road capability (including overcoming obstacles and shallow water), making it a relatively practical configuration for the vehicle. Lowering the chassis can reduce the vehicle's drag coefficient (slightly improving fuel efficiency). Lowering the chassis also shortens the suspension travel, providing better lateral support and enhancing the vehicle's road performance (reducing the risk of rollover).

The 750Li indeed features an air suspension system, which essentially provides chassis height adjustment functionality. When driving this car on highways, the system automatically lowers the body to enhance stability, while it can raise the chassis by several centimeters when encountering rough roads to avoid scraping the undercarriage. During my recent test drive of the facelifted version, I could manually adjust four height modes via the central control screen - ranging from the lowest 'loading mode' to the highest off-road stance, all proving highly practical. However, it's worth noting that pre-2019 models used conventional suspension, with air suspension only available on the 760 variant. When purchasing, look for the 'adaptive two-axle air suspension' specification on the configuration sheet to be certain.

As one of the top configurations in the 7 Series, the current 750 comes standard with an adjustable chassis. This air suspension system replaces traditional steel springs with air springs, with sensors hidden at all four corners. It provides noticeably more flexibility when crossing speed bumps in the city, while raising the chassis adds an extra 3 cm of ground clearance for mountain roads. During a recent inspection of a 2021 750 for a client, we observed that the vehicle height changes with driving mode switches: it automatically lowers in Sport mode, while Adaptive mode adjusts based on speed. Remember to regularly check the air pump and pipeline seals.

Experience from owning several used 7 Series: The G12-generation 750 came standard with dual-axle air suspension (post-2016). Pressing the suspension button next to the gearshift lever clearly activates the air pump with a hissing sound. Personally measured the lift range – about 7cm difference between lowest and highest positions. The trunk height adjustment button is super practical. However, the older F01 750 didn't have this configuration – it was optional with higher failure rates. The new model even allows remote height adjustment via smartphone app for easier entry/exit.

The air suspension system on the new 750 is genuinely intelligent, with cameras scanning the road ahead to automatically adjust damping stiffness. Key point about height adjustment: 15cm ground clearance in standard mode, drops to 13cm in sport mode, and can rise up to 18cm at maximum. My real-world test shows the version with chassis lift has an additional circular control button on the left side of the trunk - super convenient for lowering the rear with one touch when loading heavy items. But note: the air suspension is prone to overheating protection during aggressive driving, it's recommended to switch to standard height when continuously driving on mountain roads.

After driving the 750 with Magic Carpet Suspension, I was completely won over. The core of this system is the dual-axis air springs paired with electronic anti-roll bars, with height adjustment being just a basic feature. During daily driving, you can feel the car body always staying level, and when braking hard, the front end hardly dips. It's very practical in special scenarios: the car automatically lowers when parked for easy entry and exit, and when off-road mode is activated, the ground clearance rivals that of an X3. -wise, pay attention to the lifespan of the airbags; they may start leaking after about six years, causing the car body to tilt, and replacing them with original parts can cost nearly fifty thousand.
