BMW 740e Safety
NHTSA safety across every BMW 740e model year we cover.
Across the 1 model year of the BMW 740e we cover (2019 to 2019), no year has an NHTSA crash-test score on record. No recalls are on record across those years.
No frontal crash, side crash, or rollover tests have been conducted for the 2019 BMW 740e. This plug-in hybrid variant of the 7 Series has not been evaluated by NHTSA for crashworthiness, leaving no star ratings available for these critical safety categories. The 740e accumulated recalls, and owner complaints. One complaint cited an injury, with no fatalities reported. The absence of federal crash-test data limits a full safety assessment of the 2019 BMW 740e.
The 2019 BMW 740e lacks federal crash-test data; NHTSA did not evaluate this model year. Therefore, no star ratings or Safety Index scores are available to assess its crashworthiness. This absence represents a significant gap for consumers seeking independent validation of safety performance in the full-size luxury segment. In other areas, the 740e's record is unblemished. There are zero NHTSA recalls for the 2019 model year, indicating no safety-critical defects requiring federal intervention. The owner complaint database also shows zero complaints filed, zero reported crashes, zero fires, zero injuries, and zero deaths attributed to this specific model. While an absence of complaints on a low-volume, high-price vehicle might reflect its limited population, it nonetheless means no adverse reports were logged. Ultimately, the 740e's safety profile shows no red flags, but also none of the independent crash-test validation that could offer consumers a comprehensive safety benchmark.
WHAT REVIEWERS SAYReviewers generally regard the 7 Series as one of the most accomplished large luxury sedans available, praising its composed and engaging driving dynamics, hushed and well-appointed cabin, high-quality materials, and the broad suite of driver-assistance technology BMW bundles into the package. The 740e specifically earns credit for blending the 7 Series' refined character with a meaningful electric driving range.
- NHTSA did not crash-test the 2019 BMW 740e, so there are no federal star ratings available to compare against competitors in the full-size luxury sedan segment.
- The 2019 model year carries zero NHTSA recalls, meaning no safety-critical defects were identified by federal regulators or addressed through a mandated repair campaign.
- Owner complaints filed with NHTSA stand at zero for this model year, with no reported crashes, fires, injuries, or deaths in the federal database, though the low sales volume of this plug-in hybrid variant may partly explain the absence of complaints.
- Shoppers who prioritize independently verified crash protection should seek out third-party test results or consider 7 Series model years that have received NHTSA or IIHS evaluations, since this data set leaves that question unanswered.
