Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Pros
Iconic exterior design
Luxurious interior
Powerful engines
Commendable off-roading capabilities

Cons
Hard to get in and out
Not as much cargo space as expected
Unavailable with latest infotainment tech
Clumsy handling on pavement

By: 
edmunds.com

Pros
A box-shaped rocket ship,
boosted performance doesn't compromise off-road prowess,
a millionaire's Jeep.

Cons
Boxy shape makes it overly noisy on the highway,
cornering is not a strong suit, high cost makes scratching it more concerning.

High-performance large luxury sedans are a special breed, pairing extremes of both acceleration and refinement in the hunt for ultimate exclusivity. Even in this small, rigorously competitive group of vehicles, the 2019 BMW Alpina B7 is a standout.A one-year subscription of Apple CarPlay support comes standard.The active safety features previously available in the Driving Assistance package are now standard.

Pros
Smooth yet ridiculous acceleration
Prestige and exclusivity from low volume and overall distinctiveness
Opulent and spacious back seats

Cons
Subscription-based Apple CarPlay support
Rear seats don't fold down
Only available in just one configuration
