2023 BMW 7 Series: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2023 BMW 7 Series is an all-new, seventh-generation model rather than a light update. The headline change is the complete G70 redesign, which brings a larger body, a new cabin, and a substantially revised lineup.
About the 2023 BMW 7 Series
7th generation (G70), first year; full redesign.
BMW positions the 7 Series as its flagship full-size luxury sedan: a car meant to deliver limousine-level comfort, dramatic digital technology, and strong straight-line power without giving up BMW’s usual focus on driver control. In this generation, the model leans especially hard into a lounge-like cabin with large screens, rich materials, rear-seat controls, and a quiet ride, while still separating itself from rivals with more athletic steering and chassis tuning than a typical large luxury sedan.
The 740i is the main gas model, pairing rear-wheel drive with a 375-hp mild-hybrid six-cylinder engine and the new curved digital display. The 760i xDrive is the more powerful gas version, with a 536-hp mild-hybrid V8, all-wheel drive, rear-wheel steering, ventilated front seats, and extended leather trim. Both feature adaptive air suspension, a panoramic glass roof with LED lighting, and an 18-speaker Bowers & Wilkins sound system, while the all-electric i7 opens a new side of the 7 Series lineup.
What changed, by category
Structural
The seventh-generation G70 is a complete redesign with a longer, taller body and an entirely new cabin.
Styling
The exterior adopts a bolder shape with split headlights. Inside, the dashboard is redesigned around large screens and the illuminated Interaction Bar.
Powertrain
The gas lineup moves to 48-volt mild-hybrid engines and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The 740i has a 375-hp turbocharged six-cylinder engine, while the 760i xDrive uses a 536-hp twin-turbo V8 with all-wheel drive. The first all-electric i7 also joins the 7 Series family.
Tech
A 12.3-inch digital instrument display, 14.9-inch touchscreen, head-up display, adaptive air suspension, four-zone climate control, panoramic glass roof with LED lighting, and 18-speaker Bowers & Wilkins audio become part of the new technology baseline.
Safety
The standard safety equipment is updated with front-collision warning and Reversing Assistant. A 360-degree camera is no longer standard.
