About the BMW i7

With the ushering in of a new 7-Series, BMW has introduced an electrified version of the limousine right alongside the gasoline-powered version it’s based on. The platform was designed to work with either battery or internal combustion, making for a much more refined experience than you’ll find in cars built on retrofitted platforms. Adding to this refinement is an amazingly quiet cabin, a hallmark of luxury that is at its best in an electric car.


What the Critics Say

All-wheel drive is standard and acceleration is brisk for such a large vehicle. BMW claims the i7 xDrive60 will hit 60 mph in 4.5 seconds. We wouldn’t be surprised if it were even quicker. During our drive of a prototype model in Germany, we noted [its] particularly smooth ride and a hushed cabin. The i7 won’t attract buyers looking for sports-sedan handling, but those seeking a comfortable and luxurious experience will find much to like.” — Car & Driver

The interior of the BMW i7 is sure to meet or exceed your expectations for a flagship luxury sedan. It goes without saying that the interior space is generous, and the seats are comfortable. Extended Merino leather upholstery and oak trim come standard. With the BMW Individual Composition option, you can tailor this interior precisely to your liking. You have six different leather color options and interior trim options ranging from carbon fiber to four types of wood.” — Kelley Blue Book

BMW i7 Charging

Cutting Edge Technology

As the new flagship of the BMW electric sub brand, the i7 is on the absolute cutting edge of automotive technology. This biggest 7-Series ever also has an impressively high capacity battery, 101.7-kWh. Thanks to this, you get 536 horsepower going to all four wheels, enough to get the i7 to 60mph in just 4.5 seconds. On top of this, there is an estimated 318 miles** of range on a single charge, and DC fast charging can add 80 miles of range in 10 minutes. Inside you’ll find the BMW Curved Display, which merges together the 12.3-inch Digital Instrument Cluster and the 14.9-inch Central Information Display touchscreen. Below that you’ll find a new feature, the BMW Interaction Bar. This turns what is usually an inert piece of trim into dynamic illumination, integrated with controls for the air vents, glove compartment, and more.

Styling to Make a Statement

Although the electric motor in the i7 might allow you to arrive silently, you surely won’t arrive unnoticed. The large grille is illuminated, and you have the option of getting the split-element headlights made from crystal. While the i7 is large, the styling remains athletic, and communicates the advanced technology found under the sheet metal. A set of large aerodynamic wheels set the i7 apart from the conventional 7-Series, and are also designed to cut down on resistance and improve electric range. The i7 offers an impressive 14 standard paint colors, but there is also the BMW Individual option, which expands the list to 165 colors, and gives you a number of other bespoke interior options.

Your Personal Lounge

The i7’s automatic doors open to greet you to an interior that sets a new standard in luxury. Optional reclining rear seats hold you in comfort while you enjoy the optional 31-inch BMW Theater Screen, operated by 5.5-inch touchscreens integrated into the door handles, and with audio played through the standard Bowers & Wilkins Surround Sound System. Apple CarPlay and Android work wirelessly, and there are multiple wireless charging pads.
