Featuring two highly electric motors with a combined output of 536 hp (543 PS) and 549 lb-ft (744 Nm) of torque, it will sprint from 0-60 in about 4.5 seconds and take you 300 miles before requiring a fill.īMW might have made an effort to reduce the carbon footprint of the 7-Series by as much as 39 percent versus the old car, but its physical footprint is bigger than ever. Sadly, there’s no V12 in the range this time around, meaning the $119,300 (+ $995) i7 xDrive60 is the new flagship.
That’s enough to chop 0.8 seconds from the 740i’s 5-second 0-60 mph (96 km/h) time. Step up to the $119,300 (+ $995) 760i xDrive and you gain all-wheel drive, swap a six for a V8, still with mild-hybrid tech, and now have 536 hp (543 PS) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) at your disposal.

Speaking of dinosaurs, while many buyers will be turned on by the idea of the 7-Series going electric, there’s still plenty here to keep ICE fans happy, including an entry-level car that’s 40 hp (41 PS) more powerful than before. The arrival of a 7-Series EV is a pretty big deal, so while we’ll cover it here, along with the other variants in the range, we’ve also spun it off into a separate story (click the link below) for those that don’t want to get their electric car news contaminated with details about dirty, old fashioned fossil-fuel-burning dinosaurs. That’s because the 2023 7-Series also heralds the arrival of the model’s first-ever EV, the i7 xDrive60, and some pretty cool technology, like the humungous 31-inch rear screen that hangs down from the headliner to bring a whole new meaning to drive-in movies.
BMW has revealed the all-new seventh generation of its flagship 7-Series sedan, and those controversial split headlamps drafted in from the latest X7 SUV are arguably the least interesting talking points.
