Reviews Summary | |
Reviews SummaryThe 7 Series is BMW’s answer to the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, offering lavish amounts of space and luxurious features, while maintaining BMW's trademark sharp handling. The current-generation 7 Series was introduced for the 2023 model year and gets a substantial update for 2027. The exterior styling has been massaged and the interior rearranged to accommodate BMW’s new Panoramic Vision dashboard display. The all-electric i7 is updated as well, but we’ll cover that in a separate review. Verdict: The updated 7 Series continues to impress with a lavish interior and impressive handling for the segment, but its complexity and still-polarizing design make it hard to love. | |
