BMW’s flagship sedan, the 7-Series, received the prestigious 2016 World Luxury Car Award at the New York International Auto Show.
Launched last fall, the 7-Series once again sets the standard for modern luxury and performance, delivering the highest level of driving refinement in the premium segment. It sets a new benchmark in lightweight design, driving dynamics, comfort, intelligent connectivity, and intuitive operation. The ground-breaking Carbon Core passenger cell technology uses carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic to reduce weight and increase both the overall torsion strength and bending stiffness. The 7-Series is the most innovative vehicle in its class, featuring all-new technologies such as Gesture Control, Wireless Charging and Display Key, and an Active Kidney Grille available for the first time in the U.S. market.
