BMW’s flagship electric sedan, the i7, has crossed the 1000-unit mark. Launched in 2023, the i7 is the electric counterpart to the ICE-powered BMW 7 Series and competes in the high-end electric luxury sedan space. It was the first all-electric sedan launched by the carmaker and is its flagship electric sedan.
- The i7 is BMW’s first electric sedan to cross the 1,000 sales mark.
- Sold in two trims: eDrive50 M Sport and powerful xDrive M70.
For context, in 2025 alone, BMW sold 3,753 electric vehicles, marking a 200 percent YoY growth. 21 percent of BMW’s overall sales were achieved by EVs, an 8 percent growth in comparison to the previous year. It became the best-selling premium luxury EV maker in India, substantially outselling rivals like Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Volvo. Moreover, the brand even outsold mass market brands like Kia and the Stellantis group (Citroen). The i7 is the second best-selling model in its EV range of models, after the iX1 SUV.
The i7 is powered by a 101.7kWh battery pack mated to a dual motor setup producing 449hp and 650Nm with an AWD setup in the eDrive 50 M Sport guise, while it produces 650hp and 1015Nm in the M70 trim. On the inside, it comes with dual screens for the infotainment and driver’s display, a 31-inch 8K screen for the rear passengers, executive lounge seating, heated, ventilated and massaging seats all around a Bowers and Wilkins Diamond audio system, four-zone auto climate control, heads up display, and soft-close doors. The i7 takes on the likes of the Mercedes-Benz EQS.
President and CEO of BMW Group India, Mr Hardeep Singh Brar, said, “The BMW i7 is not merely a luxury sedan – it is a bold declaration of ‘Forwardism’. Crossing the 1,000 unit mark reflects its strong resonance with customers who seek the perfect fusion of avant-garde design, electrifying performance, and uncompromised luxury. The BMW i7 continues to redefine modern mobility and strengthens our leadership in India’s luxury EV space. As the vehicle of choice for those seeking the pinnacle of luxury, the BMW i7 continues to shape what’s next and define our clear leadership in the luxury electric segment.”
