BMW has come out with a fully redesigned 7-Series for 2023. The large luxury sedan carries the flag as being the automaker’s most high-tech and opulent sedan. For 2023, BMW has also introduced an all-new i7, which is an all-electric version of the gas-powered sedan.
The 2023 BMW 7-Series arrives with a striking exterior design that it shares with the new X7. The sedan arrives with a split-headlight design with the LED daytime running lights being positioned near the hood and the headlights sitting below. BMW’s kidney grilles have grown in size, while the front fascia has more aggressive lines. Slim taillights, quad exhaust outlets, and a blocky rear bumper are located at the back.
As BMW’s flagship sedan, the 2023 7-Series really flexes its muscles with an incredible cabin. The sedan arrives with a dizzying number of screens, opulent materials, and intricate ambient interior lighting. As a tech-forward sedan, the 7-Series has minimal buttons and physical controls. With features like pillow headrests, massaging seats, and more headroom than the outgoing model, the 2023 7-Series is a first-class sedan.
The new 7-Series is a technological marvel. The sedan comes with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.9-inch touchscreen that’s integrated into a single piece. The 7-Series also comes with 5.5-inch digital controllers in each of the rear door panels and there’s an available 31.3-inch Theater Screen that spans the entire width of the interior. Other available tech features include an onboard 5G cellular data connection, the ability to stream Netflix, BMW’s iDrive 8 system, a 36-speaker surround-sound system, and augmented reality for the navigation system.
BMW will offer the 2023 740i with a standard turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. Output is rated at 375 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. The available 760i xDrive will come with a standard turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine that generates 536 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque. Rear-wheel drive is standard for the 7-Series, while all-wheel drive is available. Both engines come with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
For the 2023 model year, the 7-Series comes with updated safety features. The sedan’s forward-collision warning and automatic emergency braking systems have been upgraded to be able to recognize oncoming traffic. BMW has also fitted the 7-Series with the Parking Assistant Professional feature from the iX. The large sedan is available with BMW’s Highway Assistant feature that allows for hands-free driving at speeds of up to 80 mph.
