2024 BMW i7
Starting at $
Highs: Hides its size and weight well in corners, powerful electric powertrains, the cabin’s so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Lows: Can’t cruise for the same highway distance as a gas-powered 7-series, tech overload inside, styling isn’t for everyone.
Verdict: With more connected features and displays than a Silicon Valley keynote address, the i7 is a luxury EV for the chronically online.
Overview
Electric powertrains make a lot of sense in a large luxury car. Take the 2024 BMW i7, which features a powerful EV powertrain with a nearly silent operation that only serves to enhance the feeling of serenity that luxury buyers expect. Couple that with a smooth ride and a spacious cabin built from premium materials and you have an electric 7-series that’s worth its asking price. The i7 is a sedan for the tech-savvy buyer, too, as it’s filled to the brim with digital displays and even can be had with a drop-down theater system for those chauffeured in the back—something its chief rival, the Mercedes-Benz EQS, doesn’t offer. The i7 xDrive60 comes with 536 horsepower and a driving range of up to 318 miles, while a performance-oriented M70 trim boosts power to 650 hp and offers a range of around 295 miles. A rear-wheel drive eDrive50 model is offered too, and although BMW hasn’t said yet, it should offer the most driving range of the bunch. Those range numbers are good enough to compete with rivals such as the Porsche Taycan and the Tesla Model S, neither of which offer anywhere near the sort of sybaritic luxury that the i7 does.
What’s New for 2024?
BMW has added the 650-hp M70 and 449-hp eDrive50 models to the i7’s lineup for 2024. The more powerful electric powertrain is said to power the big sedan to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds and still offers an estimated 295-mile driving range per charge. The eDrive50 uses a single, rear-mounted motor but BMW hasn’t yet disclosed its performance or range estimates. Otherwise, we’re expecting that the i7 will carry over to the new year with no other major changes.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
eDrive50: $106,695
xDrive60: $125,195
M70: $169,495
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
Because they were developed jointly, the i7 benefits from the same spacious, luxurious, and upscale cabin ambiance as the gasoline-powered 7-series. In addition to luxuries, the i7 offers a bevy of high-tech convenience features that put it on solid footing versus rivals such as the Mercedes-Benz EQS and the Tesla Model S. There’s generous room in both the front and the rear seats and fine materials lining every square inch of the interior. Opt for the Executive Lounge package and your rear-seat passengers will be treated to power-adjustable reclining seats, a wireless smartphone charging pad, and extra-plush headrests. The trunk space is plentiful but if you’re hauling longer items, you’ll find a handy rear-seat pass-through feature.
