2025 BMW i7 review
The BMW i7 is an electric luxury executive sedan. From the outside, it looks like the standard 7 Series gas-powered sedan and offers that model’s plush, spacious interior. But under the hood is BMW’s best electric motor technology. As with the gas-powered 7 Series, the thinking behind the i7 is that the owner of the car will be riding in the back seat, which is available with unparalleled luxury features like reclining seats that massage as well as full infotainment and climate controls.

First generation BMW i7
The BMW i7 was introduced for the 2023 model year as a competitor to the Mercedes-Benz EQS sedan, and BMW spared no expense in making this a class-leading luxury EV. Buyers can choose from rear-wheel drive with a single motor or a dual-motor setup driving all four wheels. The i7 has a maximum EPA-estimated range of 314 miles
and recharges with a standard DC fast-charging plug.The real story of the i7 is the interior. With an executive car, BMW knows the most important person is likely to ride in the back seat, so you can have features like a lay-back reclining seat with leg support, massage, heating, and ventilation, and even an available 31-inch high-definition display screen with wireless data connection and streaming services.
The front-seat passengers also receive the royal treatment, with a 14.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Additional available technology includes a hands-free driving system and automated parking.
