Overview
The BMW X7 is the largest and most expensive SUV in their lineup, positioned as the next step up from the X5, though it is also bigger and more expensive than the swoopy and sporty X6. It was designed with the intention to solve BMW's problem of not having a 7-seater SUV, and therefore it is positioned primarily to battle with the large Mercedes Benz GLS. While both vehicles are nice, the styling of the GLS is extremely pedestrian, while the X7 styling certainly makes a statement. The BMW also offers a far more interesting driving experience, with a bit more feel and just a hint of sports car DNA baked into the experience. There are cheaper alternatives such as the Audi Q7 and the Cadillac Escalade, though both can easily be optioned up to rival the price of the BMW X7. However, the Audi feels a little more cramped inside and has been around for several years, while the X7 is a brand-new vehicle. The Escalade feels plenty big but does not have the quality or style present in its Germanic competition. An Additional feature that makes the X7 a fierce competitor includes it's 7,500 pounds towing capacity.
Model Highlights
The BMW X7 comes with one of two engines. The xDrive40i is powered by a 3.0L 6-cylinder engine fed by a turbocharger, sending power to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission. BMW claims the X7 xDrive40i makes 375 horsepower, which is enough to get the vehicle to 60 miles per hour in just 5.8 seconds, so despite not having overwhelming amounts of horsepower on paper, the xDrive40i is quick. For those wanting more power, the M60i is powered by a 4.4L twin-turbocharged V8 making 523 horsepower. The X7 comes in two basic flavors dubbed Luxury and M Sport. From the outside, the two trim levels could not be more different, the Luxury features plenty of exterior brushed aluminum around the windows and the lower door sills, while the M sport features more aggressive wheels, blacked out aluminum and bigger grill openings in the front fascia. Regardless of trim level, the X7 is generous with its standard features, which include 21-inch wheels, and an adaptive LED headlight. Inside, the X7 comes standard with an authentic wood trim, 18-way heated power front seats with self-adjusting side bolsters, a 10-speaker sound system with HD radio and SiriusXM satellite radio, a heated leather wrapped multifunction steering wheel, BMW ConnectedDrive services, cruise control, a panoramic moonroof featuring a 2-piece glass panel, 4-zone automatic climate control, rain sensing wipers, a power tailgate, park distance control, and BMW's extended ambient lighting system. Additional features exclusive to the M60i include LED adaptive headlights that are equipped with BMW Laser light technology, 4 wheel painted calipers, and an M Sport electro-mechanical limited slip differential. Standard safety equipment across the X7 includes front and rear parking sensors, a lane departure warning system, active blind spot monitoring, forward collision mitigation, rear collision warning, pedestrian detection system, a driver attention alert and a traffic sign information system.
