About the BMW X7
BMW can trace its luxury SUV roots back to the original X5 which launched back in 1999 with the smaller X3 following shortly after. Praised for their sport-focused handling, skeptics began to understand the growing appeal of these capable and stylish models. Since then, anticipation has remained high surrounding the launch of a three-row, full-size SUV.
Despite its full-size stature, the BMW X7 has been engineered with careful consideration of the vehicle’s finesse and agility. Its commanding presence perfectly balances strength with elegance while the available 22 or 23-inch wheels give the X7 a confident stance. Inside, a spacious interior offers an array of advanced tech features to help you stay connected no matter how far out of town you travel.
What the Critics Say
To play on a long-time slogan, the 2020 BMW X7 is the Ultimate Opulence Machine. It’s big, it’s plush and it’ll pamper six or seven people in indulgence. It can have the finest, ornately stitched leather this side of Rolls-Royce, controls topped in glass, and a panoramic sunroof etched with a light-capturing pattern.” — Autoblog
Borrowing partially from the smaller BMW X5 SUV and partially from the upscale BMW 7-series sedan, the X7’s rich interior is well-appointed, tech-packed, and spacious. Plenty of luxury features can be found inside as well, including heated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, a power-adjustable steering wheel, and ambient interior lighting.” — Car and Driver
What’s New for 2020
Following its successful debut last year, the BMW X7 returns for 2020 relatively unchanged aside from one exciting new addition to its lineup. New this year, the BMW X7 M50i adds a dose of adrenaline with its standard 4.4-liter BMW M Performance TwinPower Turbo V-8 engine which produces an impressive 523 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque. Otherwise, option packages for the X7 have been revised slightly and five-zone climate control is now available.
BMW X7 Features
Powerful Styling
Demonstrating charisma and character from every angle, the BMW X7 confidently announces your arrival with its signature kidney grilles at the front, bold air inlets, and artfully sculpted profile lines. Generously-sized windows and a standard panoramic glass roof which stretches across the first and second rows help create an incredible sense of airiness for a welcoming environment inside the cabin. Distinctive alloy wheel designs wheel be offered in 22 or 23-inch sizing for a commanding stance even when standing still. An innovative tailgate opening at the rear provides quick access to the cargo area along with an eye-catching complement when viewed from behind.
Elegant Interior
Modern yet restrained, the interior of the BMW X7 is centered around the driver with a careful consideration given to usability. Its new design language offers generously-sized dash surfaces with pronounced edges. Located in the center of the dash, a 12.3-inch instrument cluster screen with a central touchscreen gives you access to information with ease. Elements including the gear selector, iDrive Controller, and multifunction buttons found on the steering wheel feature partially backlit crystal glass for a subtle minimalist look.
