Every Angle of the 2020 BMW 745e xDrive Plug-In Hybrid
While more powerful than its predecessor, the hybrid 7-series remains a luxury statement first.
The 2020 BMW 745e xDrive iPerformance combines turbo inline-six power, plug-in hybrid efficiency, and posh appointments for a $100,000 luxury experience. Read the full story here.
The 745e, with a combined 389 horsepower, features all-wheel drive, a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six, a 111-hp electric motor, and a 12.0-kWh battery. There's a lot going on here.
The 745e can travel 16 miles on electricity alone, according to the EPA.
We managed to squeeze 18 miles of range out of the battery on our 75-mph highway fuel-economy test.
The oversized grille on the updated 7-series may be a point of contention, but it does give the car serious curb presence.
The BMW 7-series interior is clean and straightforward yet doesn't go to the next level of opulence as some of its competitors' flagship sedans do.
The 745e can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds, 0.5 second quicker than its predecessor.
The back seat is where the 7-series is best enjoyed. Our test car features massaging seats in back but not in the front.
Large screens behind both front seats provide rear-seat passengers with entertainment and control for the car's many functions, including the seats, windows, media, and climate.
A removable tablet that lives in the rear center console also provides additional controls.
The 745e loses 3 cubic feet of trunk volume to the gasoline 7-series models.
