ProsConsWhat’s new? The 2023 BMW i7 is the first all-electric 7 Series. It has the luxury and technology you’d expect from a flagship luxury sedan and up to 318 miles of range. Pricing starts at $119,300.
BMW BMW didn’t forget about performance; the big sedan achieves a 0-60 mph time of just 4.5 seconds. This EV has a range of up to 318 miles, and it can charge up to 80 miles worth of range in only 10 minutes with DC fast charging. The most direct competitor to the i7 is the Mercedes-Benz EQS. Our test of the i7 took place on the outskirts of Palm Springs, California. No mere desert, the region has a beguiling landscape that includes mountains that regularly receive snow. Connecting those peaks with the arid landscape below are some lovely ribbons of asphalt.
Acceleration is also faster than one would expect: The i7’s 4.5-second 0-60 mph time is only a hair off the time of the V8-powered 760i. As fun as it is to squirt the i7 off the line — gleeful, even, those first several dozen times — the i7 is equally a champion of quiet, comfortable motoring. When treated as the executive sedan that it is rather than a plaything, the i7 shuffles about its business with a quiet, stately, and powerful gravitas.
Exterior styling Unlike Mercedes’ S-Class and electric EQS, which are completely different vehicles, the i7 shares sheet metal and more with the 7 Series. The front-end design of the i7 is a bit of a break from tradition, but this sedan has the aesthetic of a high-tech luxury sedan. You get a sportier look if you opt for the M Sport package with Shadowline exterior trim, revised front and rear fascias, and unique M Aerodynamic wheels.
