Bigger and more luxurious than ever, the new BMW 7-series now also comes in EV form, though it doesn't shout about it.
, as the EV version is called, differs from the V-8-powered 760i xDrive in only minor visual details: The BMW roundel on the hood has a subtle blue ring around it, the start/stop button inside is blue, the grille is solid and has a small "I" in a vertical element, and, of course, there are no tailpipes.
BMW provides three levels of regenerative braking, as well as single-pedal driving if you select "B" on the transmission toggle. Using the single-pedal mode makes for very smooth urban driving, and it also works well when driving hard on mountain roads—at least uphill. You hardly need to touch the brakes. When you do press the left pedal, you appreciate BMW's fine job of blending the regen and the friction brakes, with no discontinuities in pedal effort or travel.
You can also specify the Executive Lounge option if you plan to have a chauffeur drive your i7 for you. It provides a reclining right rear seat—up to 42.5 degrees—including a footrest and heel rest on the back of the right front seat, which slides and tilts as far forward as possible when you engage this option.
