For years, the BMW 7-series was considered the ultimate vehicle for anyone wanting supreme luxury and space in the most dynamic driving package. The 2023 7-series builds on this heritage to create the most luxurious and advanced ultra-grand sedan ever made.
With an overall length of 5.39m (131mm more than the outgoing model), space and comfort is more than generous and the exterior details, like Swarovski crystal headlights, a kidney grille with illuminated surrounds, dynamic lighting with graphical projections and 19-inch alloy wheels or larger mean that road presence is taken to another level.
As you’d expect, the interior is a showcase of luxury with exclusivity heightened by fine wood or carbon trim finishes and a selection of four interior colours and front armrest heaters. Technology comes to the fore with a panoramic glass roof, Bowers & Wilkins surround sound with speakers integrated into the headrests, a 12.3-inch driver’s display, a 14.9-inch infotainment unit, parking assist, steering and lane control assist, active navigation, automatic speed limit assist, route monitoring, traffic light recognition, lane change assist, and a manoeuvre assistant.
And for the ultimate in-car entertainment experience, buyers can opt for the 31.3 inch 8K theatre screen that folds down from the roof at the rear.
In-line with the electric strategy of BMW, the new 7-series will add a fully electric version to the range- the i7. Powered by a 101.7kWh battery delivering a staggering 745Nm between each wheel, the i7 will be able to sprint to 100km/h in 4.9 seconds and continue to a top speed of 240km/h.
Expected pricing for the new 7 Series is as follows:
• BMW 740i – R2,160,000
• BMW 740d xDrive – R2,280,000
• BMW i7 xDrive60 – R2,825,000
Customers will also have the option of adding the M Sport Package, for an additional R75,000 or the M Sport Package Pro for an extra R115,000.
