The model
Read full BMW X7 reviewThe X7 is everything a big luxury SUV should be. Its huge interior is as practical as it is sumptuous, and it’s comfortable and quiet on the road. Its style and sheer scale give it an element of theatre and desirability that few rivals can match.
The trim

The engine
See full engine specsIf you aren’t a fan of diesel power, your best bet is the six-cylinder petrol xDrive40i. Its engine is serenely quiet when you want it to be, and nice and snarly when you’re pressing on. However, while it offers fractionally quicker acceleration than the 40d (0-62mph in 5.8sec) you do need to rev the engine a bit harder to access that performance.
