Pros & cons
Supremely refined and comfortable, handles well for a large saloon, huge rear legroom
Ungainly styling, Mercedes S-Class more cosseting and sophisticated inside

Overview
Love it or hate it, there’s no denying this 7-Series was a clean break from its conservative predecessor. A 2005 facelift toned the looks toned down and improved the engines and suspension, but styling aside, the large saloon is a wonderfully comfortable long distance cruiser with a range of refined powerplants and pleasing handling.
