BMW ActiveHybrid 740

The BMW 7-series is the pinnacle of BMW sedans. A big luxury sedan that is loaded with state-of-the-art technology to keep you safe on today's roads.

The rear-wheel drive ActiveHybrid 740 is powered by a 315-hp direct-injection, 3.0-litre, turbo inline-six cylinder engine, that is combined with a 55-hp electric motor and lithium-ion battery pack to give the long-wheelbase 740 a total system output of 349-hp and 367 lb-ft of torque. The hybrid engine and motor are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission for maximum smoothness and efficiency. Standard luxury features include four-zone automatic climate control, power sunroof, high-gloss wood trim, heated power seats, voice-activated navigation system on a 10.2-inch color monitor, HD radio and BMW Assist emergency and information communications. Standard run-flat tires wrap 18-inch alloy wheels, while standard Park Distance Control with a rear camera, adaptive brake lights and steerable adaptive bi-xenon headlights provide active safety. High-tech options include surround-view cameras, high-beam assistant, lane departure warning, blind spot detection, dual LCD screens for rear seat entertainment and ventilated front seats.

For 2013, the ActiveHybrid 740 has been refreshed inside and out, and is now equipped with an inline-six cylinder engine, replacing the previous models V8.
