2024 BMW 750XE REVIEW: IS IT TOO MUCH?

EV Channels Review

The 2024 BMW 750e xDrive is presented as a compelling alternative to traditional large luxury sport sedans, potentially even surpassing the Mercedes S-Class in the reviewer's estimation. The plug-in hybrid powertrain, combining a twin-turbo inline-six with electric motors, delivers a robust 483 horsepower and a brisk 0-60 mph time of 4.24 seconds (achieved via launch control). It offers a respectable 34 miles of all-electric range, with the hybrid system providing flexibility for daily commutes and longer journeys. The interior is lauded for its luxurious appointments, including crystal accents and advanced features like automatic doors and massage seats, though the reviewer finds the automatic doors to be a "party trick" they "kind of hate" in daily use. Positives include the engaging driving dynamics, comfortable ride, and highly customizable digital displays and HUD. However, criticisms are leveled at the inconsistent braking due to regenerative braking, intrusive automatic braking assists that cannot be fully disabled, and the polarizing exterior design. The reviewer also notes the high price point, with the tested model reaching $165,000 with options, and questions the value of certain features like the "digital art" mode.
