2027 BMW 7 Series: Trims, Prices, & Horsepower

The seventh-generation BMW 7 Series went on sale in the early 2020s, and now the automaker is refreshing the model inside and out. This isn’t a new generation, but a mid-cycle refresh that changes the powertrain and completely updates the cabin to the brand’s latest Neue Klasse styling.

The sedan features a refreshed exterior with an updated kidney grille, new headlights and subtly redesigned BMW badging. The sedan also gets new taillights, but the most significant change is to the interior.

The 7 Series comes with BMW’s Panoramic iDrive, a pillar-to-pillar display at the base of the windshield. In the center of the dashboard is a 17.9-inch infotainment screen, and, in a first for BMW, a passenger screen, which is standard on the model. The 7 Series will launch in the United States with two fully electric and two combustion models later this year.

EV Combustion And Power

A 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine still powers the entry-level rear-wheel-drive 740. It still has a 48-volt hybrid system but is equipped with a larger turbocharger. Output increases from 375 horsepower on the 2026 model to 394, while torque remains the same at 398 pound-feet. The 740 xDrive can sprint to 60 miles per hour in less than five seconds and reach a limited top speed of 155 mph.

The entry point to the electric 7 Series starts with the i7 50 xDrive. The dual-motor powertrain produces the same 449 hp as before, but torque is increased from 479 to 487 lb-ft. The 0-60 time is also unchanged, at 5.3 seconds, but the top speed is 3 mph higher at 130.

The i7 60 xDrive is similar, with the same output as the previous model—536 hp and 549 lb-ft—but top speed increases from 130 mph to 149. Surprisingly, 0-60 drops 0.1 second to 4.6 for the 2027 model.

Although the updated i7 model has nearly the same performance statistics compared to the previous version, the electric vehicle does feature new battery technology, with a net capacity of 112.0 kilowatt-hours. The sedan packs BMW’s sixth-generation eDrive technology and its new cylinder cell, which was launched on the iX3.

Maximum charging speed has increased from 195 to 250 kilowatts, lowering the vehicle’s charging time from 10 to 80 percent to just 28 minutes, down from 34 minutes previously. The new package is also more efficient, increasing the i7 60’s range from 311 miles to more than 350.

What’s Next For Series 7?

In 2027, BMW will launch the 750e xDrive, a plug-in hybrid variant. It will feature an inline six-cylinder engine producing 308 hp, paired with a 194 hp electric motor producing a combined 483 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, the same as the 2027 model.

The 0-60 time is also the same, but BMW has increased the top speed from 130 mph to 155. BMW will start producing the PHEV in the fourth quarter of 2026. Pricing hasn’t been mentioned, but the 2026 version starts at $111,550.

Pricing and Production

The BMW 7 Series is just $500 more expensive than before, with the rear-wheel-drive 740 starting at $101,350 (all prices include a $1,550 destination charge, unchanged from 2026). The 740 xDrive will start at $104,350.

The i7 50 xDrive will have a starting price of $107,750, while the i7 60 xDrive will cost $126,250
BMW will start producing the 7 Series and selling it this July.

Motorcycle Pickup1: While the 7 Series may look similar from the outside, the Neue Klasse’s cabin is hard to ignore. It’s a significant change that brings the car in line with the brand’s future, but the styling feels busy for the model.
