BMW 7 Series
As the largest of all BMWs, the 7 Series is practically a tech lab on wheels. Drivers have the choice between a regular or long wheelbase body style. Meanwhile, the engines range from 6 or 8 to 12 cylinders, depending on the trim level, most of which come with all-wheel drive. As evidence of the 7 Series’ modern approach, there’s an 8-speed automatic gearbox as well as the ActiveHybrid 7 system. Of course, all this comes with a six-figure price tag, but you definitely get a lot for your money.
