Design & Presence

The X7 is BMW's flagship seven-seat SUV and it looks the part with an imposing stance and formal, executive styling. At 5,181 mm long, 2,000 mm wide and 1,835 mm tall it commands space on the road and that large kidney grille gives it undeniable curb appeal. Curb weight between roughly 2,490 and 2,675 kg provides a solid, planted feel but also explains the deliberate visual heft. BMW's line-up spans MHEV petrol and diesel trims plus a high-performance M60i, so the same sheetmetal can hide different characters underneath.

Interior & Usability

Cabin quality is in line with a flagship: soft-touch surfaces, optional two-tone leather and a widescreen digital display that frames the driver for a premium impression. Controls remain logically arranged, so accessing climate, seats and infotainment is straightforward even with the technology on board. Seating is upright and comfortable for long distances and the X7 keeps highway noise impressively low thanks to good insulation. Practical touches include multiple storage points, USB ports and often four-zone climate control to keep seven occupants content.

Space & Everyday Practicality

The X7 is a true seven-seater but the third row is best used by children or for occasional adult journeys while the second row offers generous legroom for everyday comfort. Boot capacity is around 750 litres with the third row folded and expands to about 2,120 litres with seats down, which makes weekend luggage and bulky loads manageable. Payload figures near 680–760 kg and a large 80–83 litre tank underline the X7's real-world utility for family life and towing duties.

Driving & Handling

Driving an X7 is about composed progress rather than sporty thrills: the chassis masks mass well and prioritises comfort and stability over razor-sharp handling. The xDrive40i petrol MHEV delivers about 381 hp and does 0–100 km/h in roughly 5.8 s, the xDrive40d diesel is close with 352 hp and ~5.9 s, while the M60i cranks out around 530 hp and reaches 0–100 km/h in about 4.7 s. With all-wheel drive, adaptive dampers and strong low-end torque (up to roughly 750 Nm on the M60i) the X7 feels effortless in everyday overtakes and when fully laden, though steering is tuned more for comfort than feedback.

Efficiency, Consumption & Range

Fuel consumption depends heavily on specification: expect around 9.6 L/100 km for the petrol xDrive40i, roughly 8.0 L/100 km for the diesel xDrive40d and nearer 12.1 L/100 km for the M60i in mixed driving. With an 80–83 litre tank those figures translate to theoretical ranges from roughly 660 km for the hot M60i up to about 1,000 km for the diesel under mixed conditions, though urban use will cut that distance. CO2 emissions are high for a vehicle this size, which matters for running costs and company-car taxation in many markets. Ownership will include notable fuel and servicing costs, offset by the X7's versatility and long-distance comfort.

Assistance, Safety & Infotainment

BMW's infotainment system offers a large curved display, useful rotary controller and competent smartphone integration so navigation and media are straightforward to use on the move. A modern suite of driver aids—adaptive cruise, lane-keeping, blind-spot monitoring and automated parking assist—covers most daily driving scenarios and eases stress in traffic or on motorways. These systems are supportive for long journeys but still require driver attention, and selecting optional packages can significantly raise the vehicle's specification and cost.

Who is it for?

The X7 suits buyers who want a stately, well-equipped seven-seat SUV that prioritises executive presence, comfort and usable space rather than outright sportiness. Corporate drivers, large families and those who regularly tow or travel long distances will value the room, refinement and technology on offer. Buyers focused on low running costs or tight urban manoeuvring will find lighter, cheaper alternatives, but for flagship comfort and genuinely practical seven-seat accommodation the X7 remains a compelling choice.
