Styling cues will be taken from the X7 concept SUV shown earlier.

The updated 7-series range will be revealed next year, and sources tell us that its styling will be influenced by the upcoming X7 flagship SUV. The car will get sharper exterior styling that includes slimmer headlights and tail-lights.

The most significant change will be the introduction of a more potent plug-in hybrid variant. The 740e iPerformance, will give way to the 745e iPerformance, with a hybrid electric powertrain. Alongside the enhanced plug-in variant, the rest of the 7-series range will also get a lot of tweaks - expect more power and improved fuel economy for the engines.

On the inside, the existing cabin architecture will be updated with BMW’s latest infotainment technology. The car could also get a digital instrument cluster that offers an improved user experience, while also helping the 7-series keep up with tech offered by its rivals.
