BMW’s flagship sedan, the 7 Series, has just been honored at the 2016 New York International Auto Show with the 2016 World Luxury Car Award. While there has been a lot of news coming out of New York recently, this is some of the best we’ve heard.

Jurors cited the 7 Series’ innovative technology, like Gesture Control and Wireless Charging and Display Key, as well as the ground-breaking Carbon Core technology, which uses carbon-fiber-reinforced plastics to reduce the weight of the car and increase the overall torsion strength as reasons for the award.
“This is the flagship model for the Bavarian car maker, and so it simply has to be the epitome of what the brand represents in terms of technology, design and performance. And the new 7 Series certainly delivers. It is very much the new face of BMW in the new family design – and yet it is a classic BMW all at once. It drives phenomenally well courtesy a new range of engines, and has a sporty drive dynamic that the rivals in the segment cannot claim as their USP. This comes from a 130 kg drop in weight thanks to the new ‘Carbon Core’ frame. 25 new features, of which 13 are segment firsts! Inside the cabin, BMW has taken things up a notch on luxury, pampering the owner with not just very comfortable and well designed seating, but with loads of technology, entertainment too. The new 7 Series brings in new features like the ambient ‘sky lounge’ sunroof, the ambient air package and the all-new gesture control.” –observations from The World Car Jurors
