2021 BMW X7 Review

Design Matters

Choose between a variety of trims to match your vivacious personality. The base model, the BMW X7 xDrive 40i, BMW X7 M50i, and BMW Alpina XB7, each vary in their capabilities and offerings. With numerous color options to choose from between these three trims, like the sporty Phytonic Blue Metallic, or the bold Manhattan Green Metallic, you're sure to stand out amongst the crowd.

Equally, each trim offers its own unique design choices. For instance, the BMW Alpina XB7 adds an aerodynamic build, complete with a front spoiler, rear apron, and diffuser. Drivers who choose this trim also get a standard set of satin aluminum roof rails.

The BMW XB7 M50i includes its own unique additions, like the power-folding, heated side mirrors, and the 22-inch performance runflat M V-spoke Cerium Grey tires. Stand out with subtlety around each bend.

Thoughtful Engineering

Much like the articulate exterior design of the BMW X7 series, the luxurious appeal of the capabilities under the hood impresses right out of the gate. The standard 3.0L BMW TwinPower Turbo I-6 engine includes an intelligent all-wheel drive drivetrain for added traction as part of its xDrive system.

However, drivers searching for added power may want to consider the 4.4L BMW TwinPower Turbo V8 engine. This motor achieves a notable feat, capable of 523 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque. Handling and acceleration feel seamless due to the 8-speed automatic transmission with Sport and Manual shift modes.

Rounding out the motor options, the 4.4L BMW ALPINA Bi-Turbo V8 provides the rawest power. Reach 612 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque wherever you are-all while driving with the included intelligent all-wheel drive with ALPINA calibration.

Cabin Coziness

Like the exterior and motor-based variations found in the BMW X7, the interior cabin of these three trims keeps the tradition of luxury going. Depending on the model you choose to drive, there are several upholstery options to choose from, including:

• SensaTec upholstery
• Vernasca Leather upholstery
• Hard-finished ALPINA LAVALINA leather upholstery
• Extended Merino leather upholstery

Along with these upholstery options, the BMW X7 provides various visual design additions, like a leather finish instrument panel, leather dashboard, fineline black wood interior trim, and much more.

All the while, the BMW X7 offers 48.6 cubic feet of cargo volume for your hauling needs. Easily load and unload at your discretion, whether it's for a cross-country trip-or just a visit to the grocery store.
