BMW X7 (2018-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Luxurious and spacious cabin	Cumbersome size is a burden on narrow country roads
Rapid performance, whichever engine you choose	Very expensive to run
Optional captain's chairs are wonderfully comfortable	The Audi Q7 and BMW X5 are better value, and roomy enough for most needs

Quick Summary

The BMW X7 (2018-present) is BMW’s largest and most luxurious SUV, making a significant presence with its distinctive styling and enormous kidney grilles. Launched in the UK in April 2019, it received an extensive facelift for the 2023 model year, positioning it as a strong rival to the new Range Rover. Inside, it offers three rows of seats for seven adults, providing more room in the second and third rows than rivals like the Land Rover Discovery and Audi Q7. Optional captain's chairs enhance comfort, and boot space is generous when the third row is folded.

Driving dynamics are impressive for its size, with a range of powerful engines from six-cylinder diesels (like the 40d with 340hp) to the potent M50i petrol V8 (530hp), offering rapid acceleration. Standard air suspension ensures a comfortable ride, though its size can be challenging on narrow roads. High-end technology and luxurious equipment are standard, including a twin-screen digital cockpit and iDrive system. Running costs are substantial, with all models falling into the highest insurance group and incurring high annual car tax and fuel expenses, making it unsuitable for the budget-conscious.

Best for: Drivers needing vast space for seven adults, luxury, powerful performance, and comfort for long distances.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers, those who frequently navigate narrow UK roads, or those prioritising low running costs.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the X7 if: You need vast space for seven adults, desire limo-like luxury and powerful performance, and can handle high running costs.

Consider alternatives if: You are budget-conscious, frequently drive on narrow roads, or prefer a more compact and affordable luxury SUV like the X5 or Audi Q7.

Competitive Position: The BMW X7 stands out as a supremely luxurious and spacious full-size SUV, primarily competing with the Mercedes GLS. It offers exceptional comfort, rapid performance across its engine range, and a cabin that can genuinely accommodate seven adults. While its considerable size and high running costs might deter some, especially on tighter UK roads, it delivers on its promise of opulence and capability, making it a compelling choice for those prioritising space, luxury, and power over budget and compactness.
