BMW i7

The BMW i7 is the electric version of the luxurious 7 Series saloon.

BMW gave the i7 (the electric versions of the 7 Series) a thorough update for 2026 and beyond, including some of the ultra-long-range battery tech from the BMW iX3 and i3 models, as well as the ‘Panoramic View Display’ - the full-width digital dash that runs along the base of the windscreen. The updated also brought with it the unusual offset touchscreen and another for the front-seat passenger. As before, there’s also the option of a massive cinema screen for the rear seats, which folds away when it’s not needed. The new batteries boosted the i7’s range to as much as 720km, while the exterior styling - although still rather monolithic - was smoothed-off a bit. The M70 version has a massive 680hp.
