Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

For 2021, BMW reshuffles the X7 lineup by dropping the 456-hp, V-8-powered xDrive50i—the 523-hp M50i continues—and adding the 612-hp Alpina XB7. The latter is the first SUV that the BMW tuning specialist has offered in the U.S. The xDrive40i's powertrain gets a 48-volt starter-generator which, surprisingly, worsens its EPA fuel-economy figures; both its city and highway ratings drop by 1 mpg.

PROS
Powertrains' deliciously smooth power,
interior as quiet as a library but much comfier,
Alpina XB7 is hilariously quick and athletic.

CONS
Excessive body roll around corners,
cabin and cargo spaces are smaller than expected,
power rear seats are S-L-O-W.

The 2021 BMW X7 doesn’t compromise roominess, comfort, performance, or price.

PROS
Standard heated armrests, seats, steering wheel
Balance of comfort and power
Excellent standard features
Large touchscreen
Larger than competition

CONS
Expensive
Small cargo with all seats up
Two trims, essentially

PROS
Strong engine performance
Smooth ride
Impeccable interior

CONS
Expensive for the class
Climate controls can be confusing to use
Some systems don't behave as you'd expect

PROS

Powerful V8 engines
Refined interior
Unmistakable exterior styling

CONS
Ponderous handling
Difficult to get in and out of
Limited cargo space
Previous-generation Mercedes infotainment system

By: 
edmunds.com

Mercedes's souped-up G-class model receives a wireless smartphone charging pad as standard equipment for 2021 and sees an expansion to the G manufaktur customization service that can provide an even deeper level of personalization. Elsewhere, a new AMG Night package adds black exterior trim pieces, and a new spare tire cover in Night Black Magno is now available.

PROS
Physics-defying acceleration,
impressive off-road abilities,
lovable boxy styling.

CONS
Noisy when cruising,
cornering at speed is anxiety inducing,
silly expensive.

By: 
caranddriver.com

If the G-Wagen is your thing, the 2021 Mercedes G-Class is arguably the greatest on-road, off-road, and everywhere in between.

PROS
Imposing stance
Luxurious interior
Far from uninteresting
Serious off-road ability
G63’s acceleration

CONS
Massive pricetag
Massive guzzler
Taller than wider interior
