2025 BMW i7 electric flagship sedan carries over unchanged

The 2025 BMW i7—an all-electric version of the automaker’s flagship 7-Series—carries over to the new model year unchanged.

Listed pricing even remains the same, although an increase of the mandatory destination charge from $995 to $1,175 somewhat bumps up the effective cost of an i7. The three-tier lineup still starts with the single-motor rear-wheel-drive i7 eDrive50, which now costs $106,875 with the higher destination charge.

The dual-motor all-wheel-drive i7 xDrive60 increases output from the rear-wheel-drive model’s 449 hp to 536 hp at a cost of $125,375. This is the version we initially drove when the i7 launched as a 2023 model, and we found it shockingly good considering that it shares so much with gasoline 7-Series sedans.

For 2024, BMW added a sportier dual-motor i7 M70 with 650 hp, which the automaker claims will get this version of the i7 from 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds. It returns for 2025 with a $169,675 sticker price, once destination is factored in.

All i7 models use a 101.7-kwh battery pack that delivers a maximum 314 miles of EPA range in eDrive50 models with 19-inch wheels (the smallest available). The xDrive60 and M70 max out at 311 miles and 285 miles, respectively. Again, that’s dependent on wheel choice. The i7 has an 11-kw onboard charger and can DC fast-charge at up to 195 kw—allowing it to gain 80 miles of range in 10 minutes, according to BMW.

The i7 represents one of multiple course corrections BMW has made with its EV plans. After relatively slow sales of the i3 hatchback, BMW refocused on EVs based on combustion models, yielding the i7 and other current models like the i4 and i5. But BMW is returning to dedicated EVs with its Neue Klasse models, the first of which is now in pre-production, for the European market, ahead of a planned launch there later this year.
