On the way to hybridizing the 750i sedan, BMW engineers had an electrifying idea; they could not only squeeze some additional fuel efficiency from the 4.4-liter V8 engine, they could also make it go even faster --- the 0-to-60 mph time of the ActiveHybrid 7 is 4.7 seconds, making it the quickest hybrid in the world, and placing it in elite company.
Under the ActiveHybrid 7's hood resides a tweaked version of the engine that powers the standard BMW 750i, a twin turbocharged direct-injection 4.4-liter V8. The engine's output is 440 horsepower and 480 pounds-feet of torque -- that's 40 additional horsepower and 15 more pound-feet of torque than the same V8 powering the 750i. Zero to 60 mph is a blur, arriving in just 4.7 seconds. A 15-kilowatt (20 horsepower equivalent) electric motor is placed between the engine and a special eight-speed transmission's torque converter. Electricity for the motor is provided by a compact 120-volt lithium-ion battery pack that self-charges with power reclaimed from braking and deceleration. The engine and motor team up to produce an impressive 455 horsepower and 515 pound-feet of torque.
The BMW 7 Series cars are some of the most dynamic and exhilarating large luxury sedans in the world and have presence wherever they go. The 7 Series body has no transparently gratuitous scoops or scallops, and the car's size and lines clearly say first class. The 7 Series looks best from the side or front three-quarter view. The hood is long but front overhang is short. Nice. The sheet metal contours, blending concave and convex surfaces, are still there, but they're more subtle than they've been on BMWs of recent years, and they don't shout for attention. The fenders are chiseled upward, nicely. This 7 Series has the maturity and sophistication appropriate to a car of its stature. The long-wheelbase L models have their own roofline, creating a different profile from the shorter wheelbase models. The L roof travels sensuously along with the rest of the car in order to keep it from looking like a stretched 740i/750i with a long tail. The result is a beautiful shape that also creates a tad more headroom.
Yet dynamic verve is what really distinguishes the BMW 7 Series: a combination of response, acceleration, smooth ride and sharp handling that few large sedans can match. Weight-efficient construction and innovative chassis technology contribute to the lively driving dynamics that many expect from a BMW. The ActiveHybrid 750Li employs a mild hybrid powertrain with the same twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 from the 750i, an electric motor, a lithium-ion battery, and an 8-speed automatic transmission. Total output is 455 horsepower and 515 pound-feet of torque. Zero to 60 mph arrives in just 4.7 seconds and fuel economy is improved by 15 percent. All 7 Series models come with BMW's Brake Energy Regeneration system, which captures energy lost as the car slows to charge the battery. The 2012 BMW 7 Series is the ultimate driving machine among big luxury sedans. It offers impressive performance from its brilliant engines. Underway, it feels solid, and its balance of smooth ride and sharp handling borders on amazing.
The 7 Series suspension is nearly as flawless as its engines, whether cruising in a straight line on a rough road, or tossing the big Bimmer through curves. The standard Driving Dynamics Control system offers four suspension modes: Comfort, Normal, Sport and Sport Plus. The 7 has the first double-wishbone front suspension ever in a BMW passenger car, believe it or not, and the package delivers what might be the best blend of ride comfort and handling response available in a large luxury sedan. For a large, super-luxury car, extended-wheelbase 2012 BMW ActiveHybrid 750i is quite nimble, and variety of suspension settings alter the car's handling through BMW's Driving Dynamics Control. Another plus is this hybrid's regenerative braking system.
Inside, the ActiveHybrid 750Li offers an interior is that is classy and luxurious, like a richly appointed, roomy cocoon, protecting occupants from an ornery world. Impressive room for occupants both in the front and rear, the seats are comfortable and supportive. Up front, the 20-way adjustable heated seats are standard. The doors open way wide, for easy entry and exit. The dash is low, thin and lovely, with a great instrument cluster featuring a clean, crisp speedometer, tach, temp and gas gauges. The large 10.2-inch screen with navigation and all its menus is very readable. The leather-wrapped steering wheel is just about perfect, and some drivers will find its audio controls close to salvation. The high-quality materials and impressive list of standard cabin tech features including BMW's iDrive system, which controls most navigation and entertainment functions, and a professional navigation system with Google integration, it also includes displays that monitor the hybrid system. All models come equipped with four-zone climate control, push-button start, leather upholstery, navigation, Bluetooth and USB connectivity, a backup camera and a 16-speaker surround-sound stereo. 7-series long-wheelbase models offer a ride that's even more luxurious and have considerably more rear-seat legroom. So the L models are the better choice for buyers who frequently put adults in the back seat.
