2027 BMW 7 Series

The seventh-generation BMW 7 Series gets a new, streamlined exterior and a screen-centric interior for 2027, as BMW's latest in-car operating system forgoes the old iDrive control knob for primarily touch-based inputs. Trim levels include the rear-wheel-drive 740 and all-wheel-drive 740 xDrive, which share the same 394-hp, 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine. A 483-hp 750e xDrive plug-in hybrid follows in early 2027. The all-electric i7 offers 449-hp and 536-hp versions of its dual-motor, AWD powertrain. BMW plans to add a V8-powered M Performance trim in the future. Ostentatious options include two-tone paint that combines matte and glossy finishes, a reclining rear seat, and the ability to transform the rear seats into a rolling movie theater using the 31.3-inch drop-down infotainment screen.

Brand context

About BMW

BMW’s sedans and SUVs regularly earn CR’s recommendations for packing industry-leading comfort and technology into vehicles that are agile, quick, and even fuel efficient. Among luxury brands like Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, Lincoln, and Land Rover, BMW’s SUVs often rank near the top of their category. Models like the X5 are remarkable for having powertrains that accelerate quickly while also managing above-average fuel efficiency. Some BMWs can be bought as plug-in hybrids, with useful electric-only range, or in performance trims, with more powerful engines and stiffer suspensions. BMW’s growing roster of EVs also generally rank high in our tests. Like most luxury cars from European manufacturers, BMWs fall on the expensive side of our assessments of maintenance and repair costs, but some specific models are a good option to buy used. However, shoppers considering a preowned BMW should opt for warranties or budget for repairs.
