New BMW i7 Facelift Launched: Top 5 Highlights

BMW has updated its flagship electric sedan in India with the launch of the facelifted i7. The new BMW i7 is available in two variants, with prices starting at Rs 1.95 crore (ex-showroom). The updated model gets more range, revised styling, new cabin technology and a long list of comfort and safety features. The range includes the locally assembled i7 eDrive50 xDrive and the fully imported, performance-focused i7 M70 xDrive. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in October 2026. Here are the top five highlights about the luxury electric sedan.

The updated BMW i7 is offered in two versions in India:

• BMW i7 eDrive50 xDrive: Rs 1.95 crore
• BMW i7 M70 xDrive: Rs 2.65 crore

The eDrive50 is locally assembled at BMW's Chennai plant, while the M70 xDrive is imported as a completely built-up unit (CBU). BMW says India is only the second country after Germany where the i7 is being produced locally.

The BMW i7 eDrive50 xDrive uses a 112.5kWh battery pack and produces 455hp and 660Nm. It can accelerate from 0-100kmph in 5.5 seconds and has a claimed top speed of 210kmph. Its claimed WLTP range has increased to 728km, which is 125km more than the previous model.

The more powerful i7 M70 xDrive produces 680hp and up to 1,100Nm with Sport Boost or Launch Control. It can sprint from 0-100kmph in 3.8 seconds and has a top speed of 250kmph. The M70 has a claimed range of 686km.

Both versions of the BMW i7 support DC fast charging at up to 250kW. BMW claims the battery can be charged from 10 to 80 percent in around 28 minutes using a suitable charger. A 10-minute charging stop can add up to 235km of claimed range. The electric sedan also supports 22kW AC home charging, with BMW offering a wallbox charger along with installation.

The i7 facelift gets a revised front-end design, including a more squared kidney grille with illuminated surrounds, redesigned LED headlamps and a new front bumper. The sedan also gets new alloy wheel designs, revised rear tail-lamps, an updated rear bumper and flush door handles. The M70 adds 21-inch wheels, M-specific styling elements and a darker grille treatment.

Inside, the biggest change is the addition of BMW's latest display and operating system technology. The car gets BMW Panoramic Vision, which projects information across the lower section of the windscreen. Other cabin highlights include a 17.9-inch central touchscreen, 14.6-inch passenger display and a large 31.3-inch 8K Theatre Screen for rear passengers.

The equipment list also includes Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound, massaging seats, Executive Lounge rear seats, powered ottomans, a panoramic glass roof and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
