2027 BMW i7 60 xDrive G70
By Lorenzo Bianchi April 23, 2026
Dual-motor AWD system delivering 544 hp and 745 Nm.
Up to 727 km WLTP range from a 112.5 kWh battery.
New Panoramic iDrive and upgraded rear Theatre Screen.
A quieter, more resolved exterior
The 2027 BMW i7 60 xDrive doesn’t shout for attention. It doesn’t need to.
At a glance, it looks familiar. Spend a bit more time with it, though, and the changes start to settle in. The front end still carries that large illuminated kidney grille, but the surrounding details feel less busy. The headlight elements are slimmer, more precise. There’s less visual clutter overall.
From the side, the car leans heavily into simplicity. Big surfaces, very few lines. It’s a cleaner look than before, and it suits the size of the car. Wheels now go up to 22 inches, which helps fill the arches properly and gives the car a more grounded stance.
The proportions stay familiar
BMW hasn’t messed with the fundamentals.
It’s still a long, low luxury sedan with a clear focus on rear-seat comfort. The bonnet stretches out, the cabin sits slightly rearward, and the tail remains upright. That classic 7 Series balance is still intact.
What’s different is how cohesive it feels. The surfaces flow better. The whole car looks more settled, less fragmented. BMW calls it monolithic, which sounds like marketing speak, but in this case, it’s not far off.
Inside, the tech moves forward again
Open the door and it’s clear where most of the work has gone.
The new Panoramic iDrive system changes how information is presented. Instead of everything sitting in a single cluster, key data now stretches across the base of the windscreen. It’s always in view, but not distracting.
Below that sits the central display, and for the first time, a dedicated passenger screen comes as standard. It handles media, streaming, even light interaction without pulling focus from the driver.
The rear is still the highlight for many buyers. The Theatre Screen drops down from the roof, turning the back seat into something closer to a lounge than a typical cabin. With the Bowers & Wilkins system pushing sound through up to 36 speakers, it’s less gimmick, more proper setup now.
Materials feel as expected in this segment. Soft surfaces, glass accents, a lot of customization if you want to go deep into the options list.
Strong numbers, but delivered smoothly
Underneath, the i7 60 xDrive sticks with a dual-motor layout.
Combined output sits at 544 hp and 745 Nm. It’s quick when needed, with 0–100 km/h coming up in 4.8 seconds, but the way it delivers that performance is more important than the number itself. It’s smooth, predictable, very linear.
The battery, rated at 112.5 kWh, supports a WLTP range between 581 and 727 km. Real-world figures will vary, of course, but on paper it puts the car right where it needs to be.
Charging peaks at 250 kW, and BMW says a 10 to 80 percent top-up can be done in around 28 minutes under ideal conditions.
Everyday usability hasn’t been overlooked
Beyond the headline figures, there’s a lot going on in the background.
Driver assistance has been expanded, with the car able to handle more of the routine driving tasks on highways and in city traffic. It can steer, brake, and manage lane changes, though it still expects the driver to stay engaged.
The basics are well covered too. Adaptive air suspension is standard, helping the car ride with a level of composure you’d expect at this level. Parking systems are more intuitive, and small touches like soft-close doors and automated entry features make a difference in daily use.
Where it sits in the lineup
The i7 60 xDrive feels like the middle ground in the electric 7 Series range.
It’s not chasing outright performance like the M70, and it’s not positioned as the entry point either. Instead, it lands somewhere in between, which probably makes it the most relevant version for most buyers.
There’s no dramatic shift here. No big reinvention. Just a series of small, considered updates that make the car easier to live with and a bit more polished overall.
