BMW 7 Series

The BMW 7 Series' strong powertrain and capable handling provide a sporty driving experience. It posted the quickest acceleration compared to some its peers, such as the Lexus LS, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Jaguar XJ8, and Audi A8 L. We also like its comfortable seats, roomy interior, high-quality materials, and impressive fit and finish. But it doesn't ride as comfortably as the Lexus LS, and its handling is less forgiving at the limits. Most annoying was the needlessly complex iDrive control system, which we found distracting and judged potentially dangerous to use when driving.
