BMW 7-Series

Big BMW caught out in the cold

We've caught the latest generation 7-series undergoing winter testing.

Bigger than ever before, sportier and more luxurious – that’s BMW’s 7-Series replacement. But will it be better to look at when it’s revealed in 12 months time?

Beneath the disgiuse is bodywork influenced by the CS concept. There's a new-look grille and a lower and wider bonnet. The car also promises to lose the slab-sided look of the current model, thanks to sculpted flanks and a more rounded rear end.

And to match the new design, BMW is also claiming that the new 7-Series will represent a big step forward under the skin. Leading the way is an eight-speed automatic gearbox, and the option of BMW’s xDrive 4WD transmission. Inside, the gearlever will be moved from its current position next to the steering wheel to the transmission tunnel, while a simplified iDrive cabin control system is also promised.

A new range of engines is being developed, with power coming from a choice of 272bhp six-cylinder and 412bhp eight-cylinder petrol units. A new hydrogen model is also planned. Prices have still to be confirmed, but the car is likely to cost from £55,000 – that’s a slight increase over the current model.
