2024 Bmw 7 Series Review and Specs

Aside from its bold outward design, the 2024 BMW 7-series sticks to the same winning formula that has served it well for many generations: it combines powerful performance, a driver-focused focus on comfort, and a roomy cabin filled with tons of amenities. For these reasons, it has been awarded the 2024 Editors' Choice award. Regardless of the engine beneath the hood—a twin-turbo V-8, a plug-in hybrid, or a turbocharged inline-six—the 7-series offers a quiet cabin that's ideal for long road trips and a glassy-smooth ride. The 7-series can have some fun on winding roads, and its rear-wheel steering arrangement helps to increase its agility. However, most people will concur that the seat behind the wheel isn't the greatest in the house. When traveling in a chauffeured vehicle, the 7-series lets its occupants unwind and take use of several technological amenities. One such feature is an optional 31.3-inch back entertainment display that motors down from the ceiling to provide users access to Netflix and Hulu.

What Is 2024 Bringing?

In 2024, a plug-in hybrid 750e model will be added to the 7-series portfolio. The 750e has a 3.0-liter, six-cylinder, turbocharged engine that is complemented by an electric motor, and all-wheel drive is standard. The combined output of the two is a potent 483 horsepower, and according to BMW, the massive onboard battery should be sufficient to operate the large sedan for more than 35 miles on electricity alone. Other changes include the addition of all-wheel drive to the 740i variant and an upgrade from iDrive 8 to iDrive 8.5 for the infotainment system in the 7-series.

Cost and Selection of Items for Purchase

Depending on the model and extras, the 2024 BMW 7-series might cost anywhere from $97,395 to $122,295 in pricing.

Performance, Engine, and Transmission

With the help of a 48-volt hybrid system, a 375-hp turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine is standard (models with this engine are branded 740i). Rear-wheel drive is normal with this arrangement, while all-wheel drive, or what BMW refers to as xDrive, is available. According to BMW, the 740i can reach 60 miles per hour in as low as 4.9 seconds. There is also a plug-in hybrid version, the 750e xDrive, which has a 483-hp 3.0-liter inline-six turbocharged powerplant and an electric motor. The top-of-the-line 760i xDrive is equipped with a 48-volt hybrid system and a 4.4-liter V-8 engine that produces 536 horsepower. It can reach 60 mph in 4.2 seconds, according to BMW. All-wheel drive is standard on this powertrain. We had a chance to test out the 760i xDrive.

Battery life, charging time, and range

BMW asserts that the 750e xDrive plug-in hybrid should be able to go more than 35 miles on electricity before the battery runs out, even though the EPA hasn't commented yet. We will update this report with further information as we learn more about the battery's dimensions and charging process.

Cargo, Comfort, and Interior

The 7-series, the top of the BMW fleet, offers its passengers an abundance of luxury. The inside of the 7-series exudes luxury thanks to its richly scented leathers, stainless steel accents, and elegant glass and wood trim components. If cashmere upholstery is more to their taste, owners may even select for a new one. With its updated luxury, design, and technology, the deluxe cabin is now more competitive with the Mercedes-Benz S-class. There's plenty of room for passengers in the front and back, but the 7-series really shines when you opt for the Executive Lounge package, which includes massaging power-adjustable rear seats, a wireless smartphone charging pad for the back seat, and neck pillows that can be adjusted on the headrests.

Connectivity and Entertainment

The iX SUV, which features a large digital gauge display placed behind the same glass panel as the infotainment touchscreen, and the 7-series have the same dashboard arrangement. The repositionable screens provide clear visual clarity and fast reaction times. BMW's most recent infotainment system, iDrive 8.5, is standard on the 7-series and can be updated over the air to new software when the firm releases upgrades. An optional rear-seat entertainment system called Theater Screen by BMW uses a massive 31.3-inch monitor that pops out of the roof of the vehicle. Rear-seat passengers may watch Netflix or surf the internet using an onboard 5G cellular data connection. They can interact with the system via touchscreen displays that are built into the door panels.

Features for Safety and Driver Assistance

Numerous upgraded driver-assistance features are available, such as an enhanced parking assistant function that enables the driver to exit the vehicle and park it using a smartphone app and a hands-free driving mode for usage on the highway.

• Typical automatic emergency braking that detects pedestrians
• Normal lane-departure alert with assistance for lane-keeping
• Selectable semi-autonomous driving modes and adaptive cruise control are available.

Coverage for Maintenance and Warranty

Every 7-series comes with a complimentary planned maintenance plan that lasts for three years or 36,000 miles. Audi and Mercedes-Benz competitors do not provide this benefit. The Genesis G90 and the Volvo S90 both come with free maintenance plans similar to BMW's, although the G90's warranty is longer.

• A limited warranty is valid for 50,000 miles or four years.
• Four years or 50,000 miles are covered by the powertrain warranty.
• It is protected for three years or 36,000 miles with free maintenance.
