One of the details that has most attracted attention about Kylian Mbappe’s personality is that, despite being 27 years old, he did not have a driving license. The Real Madrid and France superstar always arrived at training with a chauffeur. But that is about to change.
Because, as MARCA has learned, the French star already has his driving licence and is already in the next phase (the dreaded moment when the new driver takes to the traffic on his own). The photo of Kylian Mbappe arriving at the training ground at the wheel of his own car is very close to happening.
The BMW i7, too much to start
All of us who have been novice drivers have had the same instinct: to start with a smaller, more manageable car (especially when parking) and with which it is easier to adapt to the distances when driving. And Kylian Mbappe is no different
The current top scorer in LaLiga and the Champions League has been assigned a BMW i7 xDrive 60, an electric limousine measuring 5.4 metres long and almost two metres wide. It is one of the most voluminous models on the market at the moment, but ideal for travelling like a real star in the rear seats, if driven by a chauffeur
However, a car like that is a ‘problem’ when it comes to getting loose in the ‘jungle’ of Madrid traffic. Even when it comes to parking it, for example, in an underground car park. Therefore, Mbappe will soon swap his limousine for something more suitable for someone with the L on the rear window
Mbappe, the first to drive BMW’s new jewel
The French striker’s choice has already been made. His new car – which he will receive in the coming days from the club’s official sponsor, Germany’s BMW – is an iX3, a significantly smaller SUV and, moreover, the brand’s new technological iconMbappe already knows this car, as he posed with it at the handover of vehicles this season (although it was not yet available to the players, as it had just been launched). The iX3 of the Real Madrid star will be the first to be enjoyed by a member of the squad
Its 4.7 meters are more accessible for less experienced drivers (although it is not a utility vehicle, of course). The good thing is that Mbappe will have at his disposal the latest BMW technology in both dynamics and multimedia. And, yes, it is also electric
The Frenchman will surely be surprised that his new car will be able to travel even more distance than his current 140,000 euro BMW i7. The range of the iX3 (which costs exactly half as much) exceeds 800 kilometers per recharge, one of the best figures on the current market. And its 469 horsepower will be more than enough to get you started..
