BMW 7 Series and i7 Facelifts Priced From Rs 1.95 Crore in India
BMW has launched the 2026 facelift of the 7 Series and the all-electric i7 in India, bringing updated styling and technology to its flagship sedan range. The launch gives luxury-car buyers a choice between a petrol or diesel-powered 7 Series and the electric i7, although some variant and pricing details still need to be confirmed.
Updates on the new BMW 7 Series facelift
The 7 Series facelift brings refreshed styling while retaining the spacious rear-seat experience expected from a flagship luxury sedan. The range includes the 740D M Sport and 740I M Sport variants, with petrol and diesel powertrains and an 8-speed torque-converter automatic transmission.
The checked figures list the 7 Series with a 2998cc engine, 394bhp and 540Nm, along with rear-wheel drive and claimed mileage of 7.9 kmpl. The diesel figure is listed at 6.0 kmpl. These figures should be treated with some caution because the available data has low confidence.
What is the range of the i7 facelift?
The electric i7 facelift is being offered in the 50 xDrive variant, which is locally assembled in India. It has a claimed WLTP range of 728km on a single full charge, making range a major part of its appeal for buyers considering an electric flagship sedan.
The exact battery capacity has not been shared in the launch information available here. Buyers should also confirm the final equipment and charging details for the i7 before booking.
Key things to check before booking
Both cars represent a major purchase, so buyers should confirm the details that matter most before committing. In particular:
- Test drive the 7 Series and i7 to compare their driving experience
- Ask about the exact equipment offered on your preferred variant
- Discuss home charging installation options for the i7 50 xDrive
- Confirm the final on-road price and waiting period with the showroom
For buyers choosing between combustion and electric power, the decision comes down to the ownership experience they want rather than simply comparing the two cars on paper.

TT Score
The BMW 7 Series delivers strong 394bhp/540Nm performance and five-seat practicality, but its very high purchase cost and inconsistent claimed efficiency data make it a demanding proposition for an Indian buyer.
Who it suits
- Luxury performance buyer — The 3.0-litre powertrain produces 394bhp and 540Nm while driving the rear wheels through an 8-speed automatic.
- Long-distance luxury buyer — The 80-litre fuel tank and five-seat layout support extended journeys without sacrificing passenger capacity.
- Executive family buyer — It offers five seats in a four-door sedan while keeping the specification focused on a premium full-size luxury segment.
Worth knowing
- · The supplied claimed-efficiency figures conflict significantly: 7.9kmpl is listed alongside 6.0kmpl and 12km/L.
- · Owner ratings are only 3.6/5 from 233 ratings, equivalent to 7.2/10 on a simple conversion.
- · The supplied data does not list any specific safety equipment, so safety cannot be scored honestly.
