Looking at all the trim levels, we think that the base spec 740i trim makes the most sense. The trim comes with a long list of features and strikes a great balance between power, performance, and luxury. You always can choose the other trims in case you crave more power and performance.

Talking of the 2021 7-Series, the model is available in four engine options. Starting with the inline-6 which is a standard to the 740i, the 4.4 Liter V8 which comes along with the 750i xDrive, a 523 hp plug-in hybrid, and the 601 hp V8 engine powered M760i xDrive.

Apart from this, performance is improved by a highly accurate shiftable eight-speed automatic transmission system with access to paddle shifters mounted on the steering. The 2021 BMW 7-Series at its least powerful setup produced 335 hp and 330 lb-ft from its 3.0L Turbocharged Inline-6 engine that is coupled to a crisp 8-Speed automatic transmission. 

*70-0 figures used

The new 7-Series gets incredible accelerating abilities despite having a moderately powered engine, thanks to the slick-shifting drive train and smart all-wheel-drive system. It can do a 0-60 MPH run in 4.8 seconds for 740i Drive and gets more interesting as we go up the trim table!

The Lexus has a close shave with the Bimmer and Genesis G90 stresses a bit less on the performance front, but doesn't fall back much. The new 7-series has got hold of exceptional ride and handling abilities.

With the addition of the xDrive system and adaptive air suspension, the ride quality of this luxury Bimmer has improved well. With an athletic steering and clever suspension setup, BMW makes sure that you and your chauffeur enjoy his driving to the fullest.

Braking has got an equal if not more important than the performance and acceleration abilities of the new 7-Series. It is equipped with disc brakes all-round with composite front rotors that can stop this luxury sedan from 60-0 MPH in under 112 ft., which is quite impressive keeping in mind the curbs of this Bimmer.

BMW has taken the conservative route and has managed to provide the new 7-Series with sustainable MPG figures. The 2021 BMW 7-Series impressive us with 20 MPG in the city and 28 MPG on the highway.

Couple its wholesome MPG figures with the sizable 20.6-gallon fuel tank, you can be cocooned in its luxury for longer durations without a gas stop. These figures are of the base 3.0L turbocharged Inline-6 motor and it will tend to be even better in the newly introduced BMW 745e xDrive that combines an electric motor rated at 111 hp.

The Lexus LS 500 is the only other sedan in this bunch that offers qualitative efficiency figures as the 7-Series. But it has an edge over the Bimmer because of its slightly larger fuel tank which helps it go the farthest. Stricter emission norms will surely put a tight knot on the likes of Genesis G90 and the Panamera.

The 2021 BMW 7-Series impresses us with its well-put-together interior which gives equal emphasis on comfort, luxury and technology. Packed with loads of premium bits, the seats are wrapped in plush leather which also gets plentiful options across the trims. Connected comfort features make the cabin of the new 7-Series a smart place to be in, as it allows you to control almost all functions in there without moving a muscle.

The seats are heated as well as cooled and have varying degrees of massage functions. Ambient lighting and numerous sunshades across the cabin helps you set the mood just right, both in the day and at night. The driver gets hold of various driver assistance features as well.

BMW didn't have to compromise in terms of cargo capacity despite lavishly laying out the seating. This is because of its longer wheelbase that also helps in a more planted driving experience. It gets a fairly large trunk with 18.2 cu.-ft. of usable volume. The dashboard is well laid out with loads of soft-touch materials and aluminum trimming. 

Various interesting cabin features of the 2021 BMW 7-Series are as follows:

This behemoth looks great from all angles and demands attention when cruising down the road- Carbuzz

BMWs are known for their iconic kidney grilles. It's heartening to see that BMW didn't take any drastic measures with the 2021 7-Series like the new 2021 4 Series. But it gets a daily upsized kidney-grille layout that goes well with the size of this luxury sedan. The newly updated design tweaks the front and rear fascia gives it a bit more aggression as compared to the previous generation 7-Series. 

You can differentiate between the 740i and 750i models, from their different wheel designs and of course the badging at the rear! The wheels are 18-inches and come wrapped in all-season tires. The 2021 7-Series is treated generously with chrome accents in the exterior and a lot of it on the kidney grilles. The front bumper gets an edgy update and its LED projector headlamps complement the new aggressive outlook.

The new 7-Series is the longest of this bunch both in wheelbase and length. This helps in the cabin layout which BMW has utilized well. The 7-Series is also the lightest offering in this bunch and that is a rare sight among fully-fledged luxury sedans. Various notable exterior features of the 2021 7-Series are:

• 18-inch V-spoke alloy wheels
• LED headlights with cornering function
• Active kidney grilles
• LED DRLs and LED taillamps
• Power folding heated side mirrors

BMW 7-Series vs Lexus LS 500

The interior of the Lexus LS 500 is crafted with genteel materials and sophisticated tech features. On the other hand, the BMW 7-Series has a more balanced layout of luxury, comfort and performance. If we take all of these into consideration, then the Bimmer triumphs over the Lexus for its more balanced offering, despite being on the pricier side.

BMW 7-Series vs Genesis G90

With similar performance numbers and interior features, both cars face strong competition. It comes down to the styling cues and thanks to the still sanely designed kidney grilles, the BMW 7-Series looks much more compelling than the Genesis G90. The front grille on the Genesis requires a bold bunch of audiences which is hard to come by. The Bimmer makes more sense and is better suited to the "luxury" field of the two.

If you are looking to experience an all-in-one package of performance and ultra-luxury, the 2021 BMW 7-Series will be an apt choice. Available in five different trims with varying engine options and abundance of standard features, the 7-Series can be claimed as one of the best luxury sedans available in the market.  Also, you get additional safety assurance with a range of passive safety systems and Driver Assistance features.

The Lexus LS 500 might have more performance, the Genesis G90 might be bold and the Porsche me be the most athletic, but the 2021 BMW 7-Series incorporates all of this and provides you with the best of all these worlds. This makes it a well-rounded luxury offering, despite being priced on the higher side.
