Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The 2020 BMW X7 is the upper-crust seven-seat SUV that finally answers the question: What if I want to spend more for a BMW?

Pros
Beautiful interior
Great standard tech
Comfortable seats everywhere
Opulent top trims
No bad engine choices

Cons
Very expensive
Digital dash isn’t our favorite
Look-at-me grille
Many spend-up options

By:

The 2020 BMW X7's #5 ranking is based on its score within the Luxury Large SUVs category. Currently the BMW X7 has a score of 7.8 out of 10, which is based on our evaluation of 11 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.

Pros
High-end cabin materials
Many standard tech and safety features
Muscular engine options
Comfortable ride

Cons
Steering feels too light

By: 
usnews.com

The most significant update to the 2020 X7 lineup is the new M50i model, which brings a more powerful version of BMW's twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 and other unique content. Otherwise the model-year changes are pretty minor. The top two trims feature more standard features such as soft-close doors, gesture controls, remote engine start, and more. In addition to some revised option packages, the X7 can now be equipped with five-zone climate control. With the introduction of the M50i, the regular 50i no longer offers the M Sport package.

Pros
Smooth and robust powertrains,
marvelously quiet cabin,
seats are serenely comfy.

Cons
Leans too much in corners,
some rivals are roomier inside,
painfully slow power rear seats.

Hybrid model on hold for 2022; will return in 2023, New S trim level combines V8 power with sport-tuned suspension.

Pros
Incredible luxury and craftsmanship
Powerful engine and quick acceleration
Legitimate off-road capability
Optional seating for up to seven

Cons
Optional equipment is very expensive
Standard rear bench seat is a bit flat and plain

By: 
edmunds.com

A sporty-looking S model joins the range for 2022 that incorporates many of the top-end Speed model's design cues but is powered by the 542-hp V-8 that serves as the Bentayga's base engine. A sport-tuned suspension, 22-inch wheels, and a sport exhaust system give the S model an edge over the base V-8 trim. Elsewhere in the lineup, a set of carbon fiber rims is a new standalone option through the Mulliner personalization program.

Pros
Two smooth,
powerful engine choices,
plush interior,
overflowing with cachet.

Cons
Polarizing exterior styling,
six-figure price tag,
driver-assistance features aren't standard.

By:

Pros
Sledgehammer performance
Surprisingly good fun to drive
Superbly luxurious interior

Cons
Ungainly looks from some angles
Audi influences around cabin
A Range Rover is roomier
