All-New BMW 7 Series Arrives in Saudi Arabia: Starting From SAR 600,645

Saudi Arabia: The new BMW 7 Series sedan has officially launched in the Kingdom with a confirmed starting price of SAR 600,645, including VAT and administrative fees. The flagship model arrives with a significant technology overhaul and advanced powertrain options. The new BMW 7 Series Sedan key highlights include the new BMW Panoramic iDrive system and offer buyers a choice between petrol, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric powertrains. It directly appeals to the top end of the luxury market where in-cabin innovation and powertrain flexibility are becoming key differentiators.

All-New BMW 7 Series Powertrain Choices

The 7 Series range in the Kingdom is now built around three versions of the same 3.0-litre, six-cylinder engine. The entry point is the 735i. It is powered by the petrol engine and a 48V mild-hybrid system that powers the rear wheels. For those wanting more performance from a conventional powertrain, the 740i uses the same setup but tuned for significantly higher output. The new range-topper is the 750e xDrive, a plug-in hybrid that pairs the petrol engine with an Electric motor for maximum system power and the added traction of all-wheel drive. 

It's a clear strategy. The 735i caters to the traditional luxury buyer, the 740i for the driver who prioritises pace, and the 750e for the tech-focused owners who want an electric ride.

BMW 750e xDrive: Electrified Performance

The plug-in hybrid model is defined by its strong acceleration and the flexibility to complete daily journeys using only electric power. Key figures for the 750e xDrive are a combined system output of 489 hp and 700 Nm of torque. This is enough to send the large Sedan from 0–100 km/h in a claimed 4.8 seconds. Its electric-only capability comes from an 18.7 kWh battery, offering up to 82 km of range under WLTP test conditions. In the real world, that figure will vary. A commute across Riyadh might be possible on battery power alone, but expect summer heat and heavy air-con use to reduce that range significantly. It can be charged to 100% in around two hours using an 11 kW AC charger. The xDrive all-wheel-drive system is a key differentiator that adds extra stability on long, high-speed inter-city runs to the BMW 750e. 

735 and 740: Petrol-Only Lineup

The 740i offers stronger acceleration while retaining the 7 Series' core focus on comfort and premium technology. The conventional petrol options remain the core of the range. The 735i produces a system output of 286 hp and 425 Nm of torque. Helping it reach 0–100 km/h in 6.9 seconds. The higher-trim 740i brings power to 400 hp and 580 Nm, achieving 0-100 in just 5.4 seconds. Both models are rear-wheel drive and use an eight-speed automatic transmission. The fuel consumption figures are also identical for both, between 7.9–8.4 L/100 km.

Cabin Tech and Comfort Features

Across the range, the 7 Series cabin is built for comfort, especially over long distances. The driver faces a digital cockpit comprising the BMW Panoramic Vision display and a 3D Head-Up Display. Standard on all models is an adaptive two-axle air suspension, designed to smooth out imperfections on the Kingdom's highways. For Saudi buyers, rear-seat luxury is paramount. The optional 31.3-inch BMW Theatre Screen, which folds down from the headliner, is a standout feature, complemented by available options like massage and ventilated seats and a Bowers & Wilkins Diamond surround sound system. An illuminated kidney grille and optional crystal headlamps define the exterior look.

BMW 7 Series Variant and Market Details

The choice is now clearer than ever for most buyers. The 735i is for buyers who prioritise the flagship sedan experience with balanced six-cylinder power. The 740i is for those who demand stronger straight-line performance. The 750e xDrive caters to early adopters who want the most powerful option and the ability to use electric power for daily trips.
