In 2026, BMW is set to unveil an updated G70 7 Series, responding to criticism from BMW enthusiasts. While specific changes remain undisclosed, whispers suggest a major transformation, possibly focusing on the front-end appearance.
The nature of the redesign is a hot topic. Speculations swirl around the kidney grille and the overall front fascia, with criticisms aimed at the current aggressive, overlapping design. Despite design critique, the latest 7 Series impresses with its driving experience, interior, and technology. It’s positioning itself as a strong contender against its rival, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
An interesting tidbit about the exterior design: it was initially crafted by former BMW Head of Design Jozef Kaban. However, the current BMW Design Chief, Domagoj Dukec, has a chance to make his mark on the G70 7 Series with the upcoming facelift.
BMW reports a successful launch, and if the facelift manages to address the design concerns, it could become the best-selling 7 Series yet. Keep an eye out for more details when the first prototypes hit the road in late 2024 or early 2025.
