Thanks: 3D Rental Car 2024 BMW 7-Series Starting at $ Highs: Tranquil cabin, moves through corners like a much smaller car, plenty of high-tech doo-dads. Lows: Steering is too isolated from the road, objectionable front-end styling, Luddites may be turned off by all the screens. Verdict: Once you're settled into the 7-series sedan's impeccable cabin, you'll forget all about your opinions on its exterior design. Overview Radical exterior styling aside, the 2024 BMW 7-series follows the same successful formula it has for several generations, marrying big power, a comfort-first driving demeanor, and a spacious cabin with loads of features. You can get it with a turbocharged inline-six, a plug-in hybrid, or a twin-turbo V-8, but no matter which engine is under the hood, the 7-series delivers a glassy-smooth ride and a hushed interior perfect for long-distance treks. When the road turns twisty, the 7-series can have a little fun and a rear-wheel steering system works to add some agility to the equation. But many will agree that the best seat in the house isn't the one behind the steering wheel. When used as chauffeured transport, the 7-series allows passengers to relax and enjoy several tech features, including an optional rear entertainment display that motors down from the ceiling and provides access to streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu. What's New for 2024? A plug-in hybrid 750e model joins the 7-series lineup for 2024. The 750e comes standard with all-wheel drive and features a turbocharged six-cylinder engine that's augmented by an electric motor. Together, the two make a robust 483 horsepower and BMW estimates its onboard battery should be large enough to power the big sedan for over 35 miles on electric power alone. Elsewhere, the 740i model is now available with all-wheel drive and the 7-series's infotainment system has been upgraded from iDrive 8 to iDrive 8.5. Pricing and Which One to Buy 740i: $97,395 740i xDrive: $100,395 750e xDrive: $107,995 760i xDrive: $122,295 Interior, Comfort, and Cargo As the pinnacle of the BMW lineup, the 7-series brings a cornucopia of luxuries to its occupants. Rich-smelling leathers, stainless steel accents, and fancy glass and wood trim elements give the 7-series' interior a posh vibe; buyers can even choose a new cashmere upholstery option, should it suit their aesthetic. The deluxe interior now has the technology, style, and opulence to better challenge the Mercedes-Benz S-class. Passenger space is generous in both the front and rear, but the 7-series impresses most when equipped with the Executive Lounge package, which adds power-adjustable reclining rear seats with massage, a wireless smartphone charging pad for the rear seat area, and adjustable neck cushions on the headrests. The trunk is about as large as you'd expect for a full-size luxury car and a rear-seat pass-through offers the ability to haul longer items like skis. Read More 📌 Instagram ▶ 📌 Tiktok ▶ @cartvpress
