About X7

The X7 is BMW's answer to American families who wanted three real rows of seats and wanted them with a roundel on the hood. Launched for the 2019 model year and built at BMW's Spartanburg plant in South Carolina, it went straight at the Mercedes GLS, Cadillac Escalade, Lincoln Navigator and Range Rover, offering a roomy, opulent cabin with an adult-friendly third row and the choice of six-cylinder or V8 power.

The X7 drew instant attention for its enormous kidney grille, which became a punchline in the debate about BMW's design direction. A 2022 refresh added split headlights, a more digital cabin and new engines, and the Alpina XB7 offered an even more luxurious, faster take. Reviewers praise its ride comfort, quiet cabin and towing ability, while noting it does not drive as sharply as smaller BMWs, which is not really the point of a three-row luxury SUV.

A next-generation X7 is in development, with renderings and reports suggesting more screens and an evolutionary design that follows the new X5. Rivals now also include the Audi Q9 and Genesis GV90. The X7 remains a lucrative product for BMW, particularly in North America, the Middle East and China. Owners tend to keep them as long-distance family cruisers and tow vehicles, and the V8 versions have become increasingly rare in a downsizing industry. This page follows its updates, recalls, pricing and the spy shots and reports that preview its successor.
