About the BMW i7
The BMW 7-Series has long been proof that a luxury executive sedan can also be rewarding to drive. With the introduction of the all-electric i7, drivers can now experience the best of both worlds – effortless power delivery and exceptionally efficient performance. The i7 blends the traditional luxury elements that have always made BMW vehicles great with the latest in cutting-edge technology. Impeccable in-cabin refinement including lush upholstery choices, personalized comfort features, and elegant design cues further showcases the upscale environment inside the i7. A comprehensive suite of driver-assist technologies and connectivity features makes the BMW i7 a true technological marvel both inside and out.
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
What’s New for 2027
Both inside and out, plenty of exciting updates have been made to the electrified BMW i7 for the 2027 model year. Starting with the exterior, the i7 benefits from refreshed Neue Klasse design language in keeping with much of the remaining BMW lineup. This includes new headlights, taillights, and a reimagined front grille. In terms of performance, the i7 also receives an improved battery that helps deliver additional range and faster charge times thanks to new technology. Taking center stage inside the cabin is a new 17.9-inch primary infotainment screen as well.
BMW i7 Features
Cutting-Edge Performance
As the flagship of the all-electric BMW lineup, the i7 is on the absolute cutting edge of automotive technology. This largest 7-Series ever also has an impressively high-capacity battery with a total of 112.5 kWh. This battery is the foundation for your choice of two different drivetrains. The first is a dual-motor all-wheel drive setup that produces 449 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque. Craving more muscle? Upgrade to the i7 60 xDrive to receive a higher-output version that produces 536 horsepower and 549 lb-ft of torque. Depending on configuration, the i7 boasts an astounding all-electric range rating of up to 373 miles**. Inside, you’ll find the BMW Curved Display which merges the 12.3-inch Digital Instrument Cluster and the 17.9-inch Central Information Display touchscreen. Below that, you’ll find a new feature known as 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.
Elegant Styling
Although the electric motor in the BMW 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 sets the i7 apart from the conventional 7-Series and is also designed to cut down on resistance and improve electric range. The i7 offers an impressive 8 standard paint colors. However, there is also the BMW Individual option which expands the list to 20 colors and gives you a number of other bespoke interior options.
Immersive Technology
The automatic doors of the BMW i7 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, with audio played through the standard Bowers & Wilkins Surround Sound System. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto work wirelessly and there are multiple wireless charging pads. The standard Panoramic Sky Lounge LED Roof comes with integrated LED lighting with customizable colors and a whole range of mood lighting options.
