BMW’s perennially popular executive flagship sedan, the 7 Series, gets a stunning upgrade, injecting a sense of gravitas into a refined and elegant package.
As might be expected, BMW’s latest 7 Series refinements include six-, eight- and 12-cylinder variants, plus a new six-cylinder plug-in hybrid option. And you might also expect a slew of added tech details like an updated, customizable iDrive 7.0 system; an autonomous-drive-ready Mobileye interior camera; and multiple driving assist technologies. However, the unexpected story here is a design revamp touching nearly every exterior detail. Expect it to bring an unapologetically bold, in-your-face message to the stalwart flagship sedan.
