2024 BMW 750E XDRIVE - MISTAKES WERE MADE

EV Channels Review

The 2024 BMW 750e xDrive presents a compelling, albeit complex, proposition as a plug-in hybrid luxury sedan. Reviewers highlight its luxurious interior, exceptional comfort, and quiet ride, praising the high-quality materials and the impressive Bowers & Wilkins sound system. The powertrain offers strong performance, particularly in hybrid mode, with the potential for excellent fuel economy if diligently charged. However, the vehicle is not without its criticisms. The reviewer expresses significant frustration with BMW's modern infotainment system, deeming it overly complicated, menu-driven, and at times distracting or even "borderline dangerous." Specific complaints include the lack of physical controls for essential functions like climate and driving modes, and the automatic door operation, while a "cool gimmick," is often finicky and inconvenient in real-world use. Despite these drawbacks, the 750e is considered a strong contender, especially for those who prefer a plug-in hybrid over a full EV, though the execution of its technology could benefit from further refinement.
