The new BMW i7 features the latest technology shared from its Neue Klasse models including Gen6 cylindrical cells which help to deliver significant increases in range across the line-up – up to 452 miles (WLTP) in the BMW i7 50 xDrive.
The interior of the new i7 also includes BMW Panoramic iDrive along with the first-ever BMW Passenger Screen, an upgraded 8K BMW Theatre Screen now with Dolby Atmos and integrated video conferencing.
Three all-electric models launch first in September 2026, with two plug-in hybrid derivatives to follow before the end of the year.
The new BMW 7 Series also features Neue Klasse design language for the luxury segment.
New chassis technology includes standard adaptive two-axle air suspension featuring four electronically controlled shock absorbers. Standard-fit Adaptive Chassis Control with Integral Active Steering delivers exceptional handling, while the optional Adaptive Chassis Control Professional package adds additional roll stabilisation.
Through harnessing the power of Gen6 cylindrical cells, the new BMW i7 lineup offers significant improvements in all-electric range. Three derivatives of the BMW i7 will launch first in the UK: the BMW i7 50 xDrive, delivering up to 452 miles (WLTP) on a single charge; the BMW i7 60 xDrive, and the flagship BMW i7 M70 xDrive, which produces a combined system power output of 680 hp, with 0-62 mph achievable in just 3.8 seconds.
Trim levels will consist of M Sport, M Sport Pro and M Performance models and more than 500 exterior colours and combinations available for the new BMW 7 Series. BMW Individual Dual-Finish is a unique paint concept that pairs a matt finish on the lower body with a hand-applied metallic finish on the upper section.
From launch, the new BMW 7 Series will be offered in three all-electric variants: the BMW i7 50 xDrive, BMW i7 60 xDrive and the BMW i7 M70 xDrive.
All models utilise two sound-insulated electric motors for instant, near-silent power delivery, plus standard all-wheel drive.
The new BMW i7 50 xDrive is the entry-level model. Its two drive units generate a maximum system output of 455 hp and overall torque of 660 Nm, enabling 0–62 mph in 5.5 seconds and a top speed of 130 mph. It delivers a combined power consumption of 21.8 – 17.9 kWh per 62 miles (WLTP), giving the BMW i7 50 xDrive a range of up to 452 miles on the WLTP test cycle. Higher energy content and energy density in the new Gen6 BMW cylindrical cells, plus efficiency gains in the drive system, increase range by around 73 miles versus its predecessor, the rear-wheel-drive BMW i7 eDrive50.
The BMW i7 60 xDrive produces a combined power output of 544 hp and maximum system torque of 745 Nm. It accelerates from 0–62 mph in 4.8 seconds before reaching an electronically limited 149 mph. On the WLTP test cycle, combined power consumption is 21.9 – 18.2 kWh per 62 miles and the maximum range is up to 451 miles (WLTP).
At the top of the line-up is the BMW i7 M70 xDrive. In the BMW M Performance model, two electric motors deliver a system output of 680 hp and 1,015 Nm of torque in SPORT mode, rising to 1,100 Nm when Launch Control or the Sport Boost function is activated. This enables the range topper to complete the 0-62 mph sprint in just 3.8 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph. Combined WLTP power consumption is 22.9 – 19.7 kWh per 62 miles, with a maximum range of up to 426 miles WLTP.
Maximum charging power is increased from 195 to 250 kW, allowing the new BMW i7 to charge from 10 to 80 per cent in just 28 minutes. The BMW i7 50 xDrive and BMW i7 60 xDrive can add enough energy for up to 146 miles of range in ten minutes, while the BMW i7 M70 xDrive can add up to 133 miles in the same amount of time. On AC power, the BMW i7 charges as standard at up to 22 kW, allowing a full charge from empty in six hours. At 11 kW, charging takes 12 hours.
