2026 BMW i7 Specs: Performance, Range, and Pricing

The 2026 BMW i7 is the all-electric flagship of the 7 Series line, pairing executive-class luxury with three distinct electric powertrains. The lineup carries over for 2026 across three models: the rear-wheel-drive eDrive50, the all-wheel-drive xDrive60, and the performance-focused M70 xDrive. A standard adaptive two-axle air suspension keeps the ride composed across all three.

Performance and Horsepower

The eDrive50 uses a single rear-mounted motor producing 449 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque, sent through a single-speed automatic transmission. Stepping up to the xDrive60 adds a second motor for all-wheel drive and raises output to 536 horsepower and 549 lb-ft of torque. At the top, the M70 xDrive delivers 650 horsepower and 749 lb-ft of torque, rising briefly to 811 lb-ft under Launch Control.

Range, Battery, and Charging

All three 2026 i7 models share one high-voltage battery: 101.7 kWh usable (105.7 kWh gross). Range varies by trim and wheel size. The eDrive50 leads with an EPA-estimated range of up to 314 miles, the xDrive60 follows at up to 311 miles, and the M70 xDrive is rated at up to 285 miles.

For home charging, the i7’s onboard AC charger accepts up to 11 kW. On a 240-volt Level 2 circuit, a full charge takes roughly 9 to 10 hours — comfortable overnight charging for a full day of driving. Level 1 charging from a standard 120-volt outlet is far slower and best reserved for occasional top-ups. On the road, the i7 supports DC fast charging at up to approximately 195 kW, adding meaningful range during a road-trip stop. As with any EV, keeping the battery between roughly 30% and 80% for daily use helps preserve long-term battery health.

EPA-estimated range and efficiency figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.

Choosing Between the eDrive50 and xDrive60

For many buyers, the decision comes down to the single-motor eDrive50 versus the dual-motor xDrive60. The eDrive50 offers the lowest entry price and the longest range in the lineup, with a rear-wheel-drive setup that delivers a classic luxury-sedan feel and ample power for freeway merging. It suits buyers who prioritize cabin comfort and maximum range.

For drivers in Corona and other nearby communities, the xDrive60’s all-wheel-drive traction adds confidence in variable conditions, and the trim opens up a wider range of interior materials, wheel designs, and paint options. Both deliver the exceptionally quiet cabin the i7 is known for.

Warranty and Ownership

Every 2026 i7 is backed by BMW’s 4-year/50,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty, with the high-voltage lithium-ion battery covered for 8 years/100,000 miles. Coverage also includes a 12-year/unlimited-mile rust perforation warranty and 4 years of unlimited-mileage roadside assistance. BMW Ultimate Care adds complimentary scheduled maintenance for the first 3 years or 36,000 miles. Because it’s fully electric, the i7 skips oil changes, spark plugs, and drive belts entirely.
