The 2026 BMW 7 Series pairs combustion refinement with modern electrification across four powertrains. The 740i opens the lineup with a 3.0-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo inline-six and a 48-volt mild-hybrid system for smoother start-stop and energy recuperation, producing 375 hp. Rear-wheel drive is standard, while the 740i xDrive adds all-wheel-drive traction for wet-weather confidence on Riverside-area roads. The 760i xDrive steps up to a 4.4-liter TwinPower Turbo V8 — also mild-hybrid assisted — delivering 536 hp and 553 lb-ft. For electrified performance, the 750e xDrive plug-in hybrid combines a turbocharged inline-six with an electric motor for a combined 483 hp and 516 lb-ft. Every 2026 7 Series uses an 8-speed Sport Automatic with paddle shifters and Launch Control. Adaptive 2-axle air suspension is standard across the range, with available Integral Active Steering (rear-wheel steering) for added agility and easier low-speed maneuvering.

Each 2026 7 Series model is defined by its powertrain rather than a traditional trim ladder. Here is how the four configurations compare.
| Model | Engine | Horsepower | Torque | Drivetrain |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 740i | 3.0L TwinPower Turbo inline-6 (48V mild hybrid) | 375 hp | 398 lb-ft | Rear-wheel drive |
| 740i xDrive | 3.0L TwinPower Turbo inline-6 (48V mild hybrid) | 375 hp | 398 lb-ft | All-wheel drive |
| 750e xDrive | 3.0L TwinPower Turbo inline-6 + electric motor (plug-in hybrid) | 483 hp combined | 516 lb-ft combined | All-wheel drive |
| 760i xDrive | 4.4L TwinPower Turbo V8 (48V mild hybrid) | 536 hp | 553 lb-ft | All-wheel drive |
The 2026 BMW 7 Series starts at an MSRP of $100,850 for the 740i and reaches $126,250 for the V8-powered 760i xDrive, with the 750e xDrive plug-in hybrid positioned between them. Whether you are set on a new 2026 model or exploring a certified pre-owned alternative, the 7 Series remains a benchmark for executive luxury, with a suite of connected services and ownership benefits beyond the sticker price.
MSRP for new vehicles covers manufacturer/distributor equipment and logistics fees, all of which are subject to revision. It does not account for taxes, registration, dealer-installed additions, or other local charges. MSRP is not a retail advertisement; actual dealer pricing will vary. The dealer sets the final price.
The 2026 7 Series delivers efficiency that challenges expectations for a full-size luxury sedan. The 750e xDrive plug-in hybrid is the standout, offering about 35 miles of all-electric range — often enough for a daily round-trip commute around Riverside without using gasoline — then operating as an efficient hybrid rated at an EPA-estimated 24 mpg combined once the battery is depleted. Every model requires premium gasoline to protect its turbocharged engines.
| Model | EPA-Estimated Combined MPG | All-Electric Range |
|---|---|---|
| 740i | 28 mpg | — |
| 740i xDrive | 27 mpg | — |
| 760i xDrive | 20 mpg | — |
| 750e xDrive | 24 mpg (gas only) | About 35 miles |

Inside, the 2026 7 Series centers on the BMW Curved Display, integrating a 12.3-inch digital cluster with a 14.9-inch central touchscreen running the latest BMW Operating System. Standard upholstery is Veganza, BMW’s durable leather alternative, with extended Merino leather available. Standard cabin features include:
The available BMW Theater Screen elevates the rear cabin further. With about 19 cubic feet of trunk space, the 7 Series balances flagship comfort with everyday practicality for drivers in Riverside and nearby Corona.
Ownership of a 2026 BMW 7 Series is backed by BMW Ultimate Care, which covers factory-recommended scheduled maintenance for the first 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first — including oil changes, engine air and cabin filters, brake-fluid service, and spark plugs. The 7 Series is further protected by a 4-year/50,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty and 4-year/unlimited-mileage Roadside Assistance. For longer-term peace of mind, BMW Ultimate Care+ can extend coverage up to 7 years or 125,000 miles, adding wear items like brake pads and wiper blades. This comprehensive coverage helps preserve both the driving experience and the long-term value of your flagship sedan.
