Gurugram: BMW India has crossed a landmark milestone in the country’s luxury electric mobility journey, delivering 1,000 units of its flagship all-electric sedan – the BMW i7. In a segment where silence is golden and luxury is measured in inches of legroom and pixels of screen size, the BMW i7 has clearly found its elite fanbase.
Since its debut, the BMW i7 has positioned itself as the ultimate symbol of sustainable opulence – a car that lets you save the planet while sitting on massaging leather seats and watching Netflix in 8K. Not a bad deal, honestly.
Commenting on the achievement, Hardeep Singh Brar, President and CEO, BMW Group India, 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.”
In simple terms: people who once bought V12 limousines are now buying electric ones – and doing it with style.
BMW i7: When Electricity Meets Extravagance
The first-ever BMW i7 is BMW’s most ambitious electric statement yet, blending futuristic technology with old-school limousine charm. From the outside, it makes sure you’re noticed even before you step out.
The design takes a dramatic leap forward with split headlamps, Swarovski-crafted BMW Crystal Headlights, and the unmistakable Iconic Glow illuminated kidney grille – because even an electric flagship needs a glowing face in traffic jams.
Step inside, and the i7 feels less like a car and more like a five-star hotel suite on wheels. The futuristic BMW Interaction Bar stretches across the dashboard, while the BMW Curved Display powers the digital cockpit with navigation, real-time traffic, and augmented reality.
But the real party is at the back.
The BMW i7 offers a segment-first 31-inch 8K Theatre Screen with built-in Amazon Fire TV, turning rear passengers into business-class flyers on Indian roads. Add to that the Executive Lounge Seating with 42.5-degree recline, multi-stage massage, ventilation, and premium Merino leather, and suddenly traffic doesn’t feel so stressful anymore.
The Panorama Glass Roof Sky Lounge, with customizable LED lighting, completes the vibe – perfect for those who want starlight without stepping outside.
Performance: Silent, But Seriously Quick
Under the luxury lounge lies BMW’s fifth-generation eDrive technology. The BMW i7 eDrive50 delivers:
- 449 hp of power
- 650 Nm of torque
- 0–100 km/h in just 5.5 seconds
- Up to 603 km range (WLTP)
So yes, it’s a limousine. But it can still out-drag most cars at the traffic signal – quietly.
The Bigger Picture
Crossing 1,000 deliveries might sound modest in mass-market numbers, but in India’s ultra-luxury EV space, it’s a massive statement. The BMW i7 isn’t just selling cars – it’s selling a new idea of luxury, where sustainability doesn’t mean compromise, and electric doesn’t mean boring.
In 2026 India, the definition of success seems clear:
If your car is electric, your grille glows, and your rear seat has an 8K screen – you’ve officially made it.
