2027 BMW i7: RANGE, MODELS, AND WHAT'S NEW.
2027 BMW i7 delivers an estimated range of up to 350 miles with a new Gen6 cylindrical-cell battery and standard NACS charging. Dual-motor BMW xDrive all-wheel drive comes standard on both announced models, with output starting at 449 hp. This page covers every model, powertrain detail, and key feature, with current BMW i7 inventory available at Grayson BMW in Knoxville.
WHAT'S NEW FOR 2027.
2027 BMW i7 represents a major technology and design update, bringing Neue Klasse technology to the BMW 7 Series. BMW Panoramic iDrive with BMW Operating System X replaces the previous display and operating architecture with a new digital environment built around BMW Panoramic Vision, a 17.9-inch Central Display in Free-Cut Design, BMW 3D Head-Up Display, and a standard 14.6-inch BMW Passenger Screen.
BMW Panoramic Vision projects personalized information across the lower portion of the windshield from A-pillar to A-pillar. BMW 3D Head-Up Display adds selected navigation and driver-assistance information directly within the driver's line of sight, while the Central Display serves as the primary touchscreen interface.
Charging receives an equally substantial update. A standard NACS charge port provides access to compatible Tesla Superchargers within the BMW ChargingNetwork. The vehicle also includes adapters for J-1772 Level 2 and CCS Level 3 charging. Maximum DC fast-charging capability increases to as much as 250 kW, allowing the battery to charge from 10-80% in approximately 28 minutes under suitable conditions.
The new Gen6 battery uses cylindrical cells and provides up to 112.5 kWh of usable energy, while BMW lists total battery capacity at 115.5 kWh. Combined with drivetrain and efficiency improvements, BMW estimates range of up to 350 miles.
