Stationary cooling

A pleasant cooling breeze to welcome you: it`s even easier to control the right temperature in the BMW ActiveHybrid 7 by using the car key.


Simply press a button to activate the air-conditioning control remotely. It takes around three minutes to cool the interior from extremely high temperature. Thanks to the electric air-conditioning compressor, this can be done without starting the engine, and is virtually silent. As soon as the engine is started, very cool air reduces the temperature to what is plesant.

Storage concept

An inviting atmosphere: thanks to the space-saving design of all the BMW ActiveHybrid 7 hybrid components, almost no luggage space is lost.


Including the charge function.

Design concept

Precise elegance with the high standards of superior sportiness.


The large kidney grilles, the distinctive shoulder line: the BMW ActiveHybrid 7 has natural presence. Inside: real space finished with elegance and functionality, with visible craftsmanship carried out using fine materials and versatile combinations.

8-speed automatic transmission

Whether in the black or at the steering wheel: acceleration is not just obvious from the rev counter.


See how quickly and easily the eight-speed automatic transmission switches with the integrated electric motor. The additional gears reduce the engine`s increase in revs each time you change gear, guaranteeing low noise and increased efficiency. Gear changes are virtually imperceptible. Regardless of whether you are driving on automatic or manual, using the electronic gear lever. The eighth gear reduces the revs at high speeds. This improves comfort and reduces consumption.

Hybrid new function

Use being at a standstill to your personal advantage. With the Hybrid Start Stop function, the BMW ActiveHybrid 7 saves every time you stop.


This is a first in conjunction with an eight-speed automatic transmission. E.g., as soon as the vehicle stops at a traffic light, the engine switches off automatically and the transmission remains in the desired position. Give the command to move off, and the electric motor starts the engine and the connection to the gearbox is restored. This reduces fuel consumption and emissions in city traffic in particular. Good news for your fuel bills and good news for the environment.

High-performance 7

High-performance storage. The BMW ActiveHybrid 7 is one of the first hybrid vehicles in the world to use lithium-ion technology.


This innovative energy store is proving impressive because of its low self-discharge and high energy density. Yet despite its outstanding performance, the BMW ActiveHybrid 7 energy store is so compactly designed that there`s still room for up to four golf bags in the boot. After all, space is a precious luxury – and not just on long trips.

Electric motor as generator

In future, you`ll be able to take your fot off the gas with a smile.


Because the BMW ActiveHybrid 7 electric motor acts as a fully fledged generator when coasting and braking.
