The South African pricing for the new BMW 7 Series, the brand’s most luxurious sedan, has been revealed.
Our sources at Duoporta Vehicle Information Specialists alerted us that the new 7 Series is now available to order on BMW South Africa’s website, with a hefty price tag.
It is sold in one of three specifications, and prices start at R2,804,439, making it the most expensive sedan in BMW’s stable.
What’s included
All three versions of the updated sedan have a 3.0-litre turbocharged engine; however, one uses diesel, while another uses petrol, and the final version is a hybrid.
Kicking things off is the 740d, which has a diesel engine with an impressive output of 230kW and 670Nm.
While the 7 Series is primarily designed for comfort rather than performance, the 740d can still accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in 5.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 250km/h.
This version features the brand’s xDrive all-wheel-drive system, and uses an eight-speed automatic gearbox. Fuel consumption works out to 6.9l/100km.
Next up is the 740, which uses petrol, is rear-wheel-drive, and generates 294kW and 580Nm, letting it sprint from 0 to 100km/h in 5.4 seconds.
However, it has a higher fuel consumption of 8.8l/100km.
Last but certainly not least is the M760e, which is a plug-in hybrid that combines a 3.0-litre turbo-petrol engine with two electric motors.
The result is a staggering combined output of 450kW and 800Nm, giving it an even faster 0-100km/h time of 4.1 seconds.
The e-motors are powered by a 112.5kWh battery, which gives the car an electric range of 80km on the WLTP cycle.
In terms of features, the luxurious sedan comes with adaptive LED headlights, LED daytime running lights, 21 or 22-inch alloy rims, and the brand’s signature kidney grille.
The cabin surfaces are finished in high-quality materials including leather, cloth, wood, crystal, and polished metal.
It is also offered with multiple screens, including an iDrive panoramic display, front passenger screen, and an 8K entertainment monitor for the back seats.
Other features include ambient lighting, a Bowers & Wilkins sound system with Dolby Atmos support, a new steering wheel, updated automatic doors, a digital interior mirror, a panoramic glass roof with Sky Lounge, and four-zone automatic climate control.
