BMW is set to launch the facelifted 7 Series and all-electric i7 in India on September 11, 2026, bringing significant styling, technology and powertrain upgrades to its flagship luxury sedans. Bookings for both models opened on August 1.

The 740i xDrive is expected to produce around 400hp and 580Nm, while the 740d xDrive will deliver approximately 313hp and 670Nm. Both engines use 3.0-litre six-cylinder units with 48V mild-hybrid technology, an eight-speed automatic gearbox and all-wheel drive.
