2013 BMW 7 Series 750i xDrive

This is BMW's full-size flagship sedan, the one that competes with the Mercedes S-Class and Audi A8. The 7 Series drives with a composed, planted feel, and even the long-wheelbase versions stay impressively agile for their size. Inside, you get a spacious, well-built cabin with plenty of rear legroom, especially in the Li models. Standard tech includes BMW's iDrive infotainment with a large screen, plus available features like a head-up display and night vision. Stepping up to the 750i xDrive gets you BMW's V8 and all-wheel drive, a meaningful upgrade over the straight-six 740i models. The 4.4L V8 makes 445 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque, routed through the eight-speed automatic to all four wheels, and returns 19 mpg combined. The xDrive system gives you confident traction in rain or snow, though the ride is slightly firmer than the rear-drive 750i.
