Jack R. Nerad | Jul 06, 2022 Show An all-new 7 Series flagship sedan is the headline news from BMW for the 2023 model year. The renewal of the fabled 7 Series includes a battery-electric version of the model for the first time, called the i7. Indeed, BMW pulled out all the stops to fill its lead model with a bevy of technological innovations. Among other things, it will offer hands-free driving at up to 80 mph on certain highways, while the i7 electric vehicle (EV) will have a range of 300 miles on a single charge.  The BMW X1 small crossover SUV is also all-new for the 2023 model year. Larger and more accommodating, the 2023 X1 offers a 241-horsepower twin-turbocharged engine that endows the small SUV with plenty of muscle. Beyond that, BMW only mildly refreshes much of its lineup. Supply-chain issues have also reared their ugly head, forcing the deletion of some optional equipment from various models. Subscribe to the J.D.

Read: 2023 BMW X5 M Shows A Little More Grille While Testing At The Nurburgring As with other prototypes spied in recent months, camouflage only adorns the front and rear fascias of the SUV. Visible at the front bumper are a pair of sleeker headlights and an all-new bumper while at the rear, we can see the modified taillights peeking through the camouflage. No alterations appear to have been made to the overall shape of the SUV, nor to its sides, but it is likely some different wheel designs will be available to customers. Bimmer Today reports that the X5 M60i will feature the same basic 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 as the outgoing X5 M50i but will be revised with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. This powertrain first debuted in the new X7 M60i and is expected to pump out 530 hp and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) in the new X5 M60i. Coupled with this engine is an eight-speed automatic transmission sending power to all four wheels. A number of changes will also be made to the cabin of the facelifted X5. These will include the brand’s new Curved Display and iDrive 8 system. The updated SUV will also ditch the classic automatic selector lever and instead feature a small rocker to change gears.
