BMW 7 Series getting mid-cycle updates for 2013

Filed under: Sedan, BMW, Luxury



The 2013 BMW 7 Series has an appointment for some cosmetic surgery, according to a report in Car & Driver. The restyle will be minimal, with detail changes around the fascia going just far enough to let other 7 Series owners know that you have the latest model.

A more substantive change could occur under the skin of the ActiveHybrid 7, however. It's nearly $13,000 more expensive than it's non-hybrid counterparts but doesn't make an equally hard-to-ignore case for efficiency: the ActiveHybrid 750i has 55 more horsepower than the standard car, but is rated at 17 city / 26 highway versus 15 city / 22 highway. Speculation is that the ActiveHybrid 7 could get the six-cylinder powertrain from the ActiveHyrbrid 5 to improve its green credentials.BMW 7 Series getting mid-cycle updates for 2013 originally appeared on Autoblog on Fri, 16 Mar 2012 10:00:00 EST.
