The 2024 BMW 750e xDrive is a luxury plug-in hybrid sedan that scored for us on many points, over a weekend drive with two young nieces 130 miles east of Toronto, the bulk of the trip via highway. The 750e xDrive features a 3.0-liter inline-six engine paired with an electric motor, delivering a combined output of 490 horsepower. So that more than fit the bill for the highway driving. The BMW 750e xDrive also offers an EPA-rated electric-only range of approximately 34 miles, suitable for short commutes and city driving.
But it was the interior that really blew us away – including the backseat comfort, where the two young girls quietly read and worked on their art for over two hours. The cabin is equipped with high-quality materials, including leather upholstery, heated and ventilated seats, and advanced climate control systems. It includes a state-of-the-art infotainment system with a large touchscreen display, navigation, and smartphone integration. Advanced safety and driver assistance features are standard, such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automated emergency braking.
The BMW 750e xDrive has a body-colored rear bumper with a black rub strip, black side windows trim, black door handles, and a fixed rear window with a defroster and power blind.

I am a 50-something Torontonian who loves everything about my city. It’s been my home, my playground, for my entire life. I went to school here. I met my wife here. I own real estate here. I love writing about the transformation of my city on the world stage, which hasn’t been anything short of dramatic. That continues on, as I write this. I write on the real estate scene. I write on travel and fashion. I like following the world of luxury watches.
But I love writing about cars – check that, luxury cars, a level of superior, engineering sophistication, high performance and style, that transports you not just from one destination to another but also out of whatever you are going through on a particular day, whatever mood you are in, all to another head space. It’s complete and total exhilaration, head to toe.
