Will this 2023 7 Series be the ugliest BMW of All Time?

The 7 Series is BMW's largest and most luxurious sedan, as well as its most prominent model. The 7 has long been Bavaria's response to Stuttgart's S-Class, having been introduced in the late 1970s. It's supposed to represent the best of BMW, and it's always had a variety of engine options and wheelbase lengths. It has been the driver's choice among super luxury automobiles for most of its life.

It will still be able to function as supremely comfortable and elegant chauffeured transportation with this new generation—the 7's seventh. We're crossing our fingers that the next-generation model delivers just as much ultimate driving machine as cutting-edge infotainment, safety, and sophisticated driver aid technology. Bimmer's flagship is expected to feature some rather innovative design.

2023 BMW 7 Series will be based on the same modular design as the current i4 and will come with a variety of propulsion choices. The turbocharged I-6 and V-8 motors from the existing 7 Series are expected to be retained, and they may provide somewhat more power. Due to stricter worldwide emissions rules, the V-12 featured in the M760Li will almost certainly be shuffled off its gas-fueled coil. Power will be sent to the back or all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic gearbox.

However, the most exciting powertrain news is that the 2023 BMW 7 Series will also be offered as a completely electric car. Although there is little information about this version's setup, it's fair to presume range, power output, and motor combinations will be similar to the BMW i4 M50.

That implies a pair of electric motors producing at least 500-hp, a 100-kWh battery, and a range of at least 300 miles on a single fill in the top-spec version. However, there's no news on whether the EV will be given the "i7" name. Plug-in hybrid power is an option for individuals who aren't ready to make the complete EV transition.

The current 7 begins at more than $86,000, but the starting price of the new car is expected to be closer to $90,000. With the M760Li being phased out of the lineup, the top-of-the-line 7 Series will be the most potent and longest-range EV, with a price tag of over $140,000. It will be available for purchase in the summer of 2022.
