Car Buyer's Guide

Overview

The G70 BMW 7 Series is BMW’s luxury sedan, launched in 2023 and sold in Malaysia as a five-seat plug-in hybrid. It suits buyers wanting a large, all-wheel-drive flagship with a 2,998 cc petrol-electric powertrain rather than the battery-electric i7. Prices start from RM685,800.

7 Series in 2026 — what's new

For 2026, the G70 7 Series facelift gains BMW Panoramic iDrive. The Malaysian range remains centred on the 750e xDrive M Sport plug-in hybrid, with 502 hp, all-wheel drive and an automatic transmission. BMW’s parallel i7 update brings a claimed range of up to 708 km WLTP and 250 kW DC charging, but that is the electric model rather than the petrol plug-in hybrid 7 Series.

Verdict

The 750e gives the 7 Series a clear role: a five-seat luxury sedan with 502 hp, AWD and plug-in hybrid power. Its RM685,800 price sits above the Mercedes-Benz EQS from RM648,888, but below the BMW i7 from RM714,800 and Mercedes-Benz S-Class from RM738,888. The single-variant line-up keeps the decision simple, though buyers wanting an EV will need to look at the i7 instead.
