The model
Read full reviewThe BMW is everything a big luxury SUV should be. Its huge interior is as practical as it is luxurious, and it’s comfortable and quiet on the road. What’s more, its style – not to mention its sheer scale – gives it an element of theatre and desirability that few rivals can match.

See full equipmentM Sport trim adds sporty cosmetic touches and upgraded brakes. The aesthetic upgrades alone will make it popular with buyers, but we'd save ourselves the extra cash and stick with the standard trim.
The engine
See full engine specsIf you’re not a fan of diesel power, you can opt for 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. What’s more, it’s impressively responsive, even at the very bottom of the rev range, and once you hit 2000rpm and the turbocharger really kicks in, there’s no stopping this 335bhp unit. It is, though, a little slower than the Audi Q7 55 TFSI, but not by much.
