BMW, which assumed full control of Alpina in early 2026, is developing its first fully electric vehicle under the brand. Spy shots reveal a prototype that shares design elements with the combustion-powered Alpina 7 Series, including LED lighting and bumper styling, though the EV features a blanked-off grille.
The electric model is expected to utilize the powertrain from the BMW i7 M70 xDrive, which currently delivers 670 hp and 1100 Nm of torque. The standard i7 M70 achieves a 0-100 kmh time of 3.8 seconds using a 112.5 kWh battery pack. The Alpina variant will likely retain these core technical specifications while focusing on enhanced interior luxury.
The vehicle is expected to debut in 2027 and enter the market as a 2028 model year vehicle. Given that the base BMW i7 M70 starts at over $170 000 and can reach $190 000 with options, industry estimates suggest the Alpina i7 could carry a price tag of approximately $200 000.
