Overview
The BMW X7 is a full-size luxury SUV that offers a perfect blend of style, comfort, and performance, making it a top contender in its class.
Price
The 2025 BMW X7 starts at $84,675 and reaches $153,395, depending on trim and options. The base xDrive40i model comes well-equipped with features like four-zone climate control, panoramic sunroof, and power-adjustable front seats. The M60i trim adds a twin-turbo V-8 and sportier suspension, but its $114,095 starting price may be hard to justify for most buyers.
Engine
The X7 offers three potent engines: a 375-hp turbocharged inline-six (xDrive40i), a 523-hp twin-turbo V-8 (M60i), and a 630-hp twin-turbo V-8 (Alpina XB7). All engines pair with an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. The air suspension and adaptive dampers provide a smooth ride, while optional rear-axle steering and active anti-roll bars enhance handling.
Dimensions
The X7’s interior is luxurious, with premium materials, heated front seats, and ambient lighting. The dashboard features a curved digital display with a 12.3-inch gauge cluster and 14.9-inch touchscreen. However, cargo space and third-row legroom are limited, with only 13.2 cubic feet of space behind the third row. With all seats stowed, the X7 accommodates 33 carry-on suitcases.
Performance
The X7 handles surprisingly well for its size, with accurate steering and minimal body roll. The xDrive40i accelerates to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds, while the M60i does the same in 3.8 seconds. Rear-axle steering and active anti-roll bars enhance agility, making the X7 a joy to drive.
Fuel Economy
EPA estimates range from 16-25 mpg, depending on trim. The xDrive40i earns 21 mpg city and 25 mpg highway, while the M60i manages 16 mpg city and 21 mpg highway. Our testing yielded 23 mpg on the highway with the M60i.
The 2025 BMW X7 is a top-tier luxury SUV, offering a perfect blend of style, comfort, and performance. Its robust engine options, agile handling, and premium interior make it a compelling choice in its class.
