The 2024 BMW 750e xDrive plug-in hybrid 750e model joins the 7-series lineup for 2024. The 750e comes standard with all-wheel drive and features a turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine 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.
Perf /Handling:
- 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six and an electric motor mounted in the eight-speed automatic transmission.
- 483 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque
- the electric motor only provides 194 hp
- 0-60 mph sprint in just 4.6 seconds.
- 34 miles of all-electric range 14.4-kilowatt-hour battery pack fully charged
- Electric mode, which resists turning on the gasoline engine unless you push past the throttle detent
- BMW’s new “pre-gearing stage” was used for the first time in this plug-in hybrid.
- adaptive two-axle air suspension
- rear-wheel steering and adaptive suspension
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 challenge the Mercedes-Benz S-class better. Passenger space is generous in both the front and rear. Still, the 7-series impresses most when equipped with the Executive Lounge package, which adds power-adjustable reclining rear seats with massage, and a wireless smartphone charging pad for the rear seat.
