BMW 7 Series
Among prestige vehicles, BMW’s 7 Series is one of the most complete. Canadians can choose from four trim levels, including the 750i xDrive, 750Li xDrive (longer wheelbase), 760Li and ActiveHybrid 7 L. The first two are outfitted with a 400-hp V8, while the 760 gets a 535-hp V12 and the ActiveHybrid, the family’s greener option, has a 440-hp V8. Oh, and you might be interested to know that they range in price from $110,000 to nearly $200,000.
