The 2025 BMW 7-series seamlessly marries classic charm with contemporary German innovations. While its exterior may give a nod to the boxy designs of yesteryear, the cabin is a treasure trove of opulence and cutting-edge technology. Elegance abounds within with standard features like plush leather or optional cashmere seating, and an 18-speaker Bowers & Wilkins sound system—with the option to escalate audio pleasure to a 36-speaker ensemble—for a truly immersive auditory experience. The 7-series gives a taste of the Rolls-Royce life with its optional electrically powered doors that close at a mere touch.
For the ultimate seating pleasure, the seats are designed for supreme comfort, with optional upgrades such as the Executive and Luxury Rear Seating packages bringing heat, ventilation, and personal massage options to all passengers. An optional 31-inch 8K resolution theatre screen also descends from above, ensuring that those in the rear are continuously plugged into their digital worlds, whether for gaming or video streaming.
Connectivity is given, with wireless integration for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, seamless onboard navigation, and the clarity of a 14.9-inch central touchscreen display all coming standard. The ride quality mirrors the 7-series' luxe internal atmosphere, courtesy of the standard air suspension, which promises a driving experience as serene as the car's lavish price point suggests.
The latest updates to the BMW 7-series hone in on infotainment and automation. BMW's up-to-date iDrive system now streamlines interaction with Apple’s Siri voice assistant, bypassing the push-to-talk button entirely. Meanwhile, the optional Highway Assistant feature promotes even greater hands-free driving convenience, recommending lane changes and allowing the driver to confirm them with a simple glance toward the relevant side view mirror.
The baseline 740i models come equipped with a robust 375-horsepower turbocharged 3.0-litre inline-six engine, complemented by a 48-volt hybrid system. Rear-wheel drive is the default drivetrain, although an upgrade to the optional all-wheel drive, dubbed xDrive by BMW, is also available. For those seeking a greener alternative, the plug-in hybrid 750e xDrive model offers a combined output of 483 horsepower from the pairing of a turbocharged 3.0-litre inline-six and an electric motor. At the pinnacle of the range sits the 760i xDrive, which boasts a powerful 536-horsepower twin-turbocharged 4.4-litre V-8 engine with standard all-wheel drive and a supporting 48-volt hybrid system for optimized performance.
Every model in the 7-series lineup includes an air suspension system as a standard feature. BMW takes handling to the next level by integrating rear-wheel steering and adaptive dampers into the vehicle's setup. Consequently, the vehicle exhibits surprising agility for its stature, prioritizing comfort without compromising on a sporty demeanour.
