What reviewers say
Reviewers agree the i7 is an exceptionally comfortable, quiet and spacious luxury saloon with a lavish, well-made cabin and handling that is tidy for its size. The common criticisms are the high price and costly options, styling that divides opinion and some fiddly screen-based controls. These reviews cover the i7 before its 2026 update.
