Great review! We just ordered an X7 x40i with the M sport package, and let me explain why we choose large SUVs over minivans. We are a family of five, and to get it out of the way, my wife and I fully agree that minivans are more spacious, have more cargo space, and are easier to get in and out of (especially for our kids). BUT, we have gone with full-sized 3-row SUVs because of the following reasons: 1. My wife prefers the higher seating position. 2. We live in Utah and have the fairly regular need for snow clearance, all-wheel drive, and the ability to drive up steep, snowy roads. As far as I know, the Toyota Sienna is the only minivan to have an AWD option, but it certainly doesn't have the ground clearance of an SUV. 3. The poshness and interior quality of up-scale, full-size SUVs cannot currently be found in the minivan market. 4. Along those lines, many of the more advanced tech features found in luxury SUVs are not as refined (or can be had at all) in the current minivan market. We regularly seat on kid in the third row, but ordered the second row as a bench to maximize seating and to be able to haul more cargo in a pinch.

My beef with the grill is that its not proportional to the headlights. The X5 grill is perfect. The X7 is like a person with squinty eyes but a huge nose. They COULD be attractive, but alot of others will say 'nice eyes, but huge nose'.

Man you guys editing is getting better and better!

Hey Dudes- Love the edited caricature grilles. Ranks up there with the edit on Volvo Thor’s hammer headlights. For us, the third row is pure function. With us, dogs are family - so they wear Sleepypod (professionally and thoroughly crash tested) doggy seat belts, which work in conjunction with a human seat/seatbelt. With a family along the lines of two parents, two kids, and two dogs, the typical five-seat vehicle just doesn’t cut it. As far as SUV vs van; we are an active family that love the outdoors. So, we’ll consider a van when yous can show us one with the payload and towing capacity, ground clearance, and traction management of an SUV. Bonus reason for an SUV over a van: Volvo doesn’t make vans. (Ok, there’s a little subjectivity in there) Cheers Brian

Seen this a few times in person already. It looks better than the pictures.

Hey guys I have two cars I have a Dodge Challenger SRT 2015 and a 2001 Acura MDX which is still smooth as butter. I actually do use the third row when we take road trips as I am married with one kid but I often bring the rest of the family with me the third row albeit small is still viable for road trips and my passengers have no complaints. I literally only use the MDX for three things : groceries , snow , family hauling. When it’s just me or my wife and me , challenger all day .

OMG - the grill graphics! Thank you for reminding me of the horrors not chosen by the design team. Excellent review guys.

Hockey Sticks on the side and 401 Badge on the rear.... This was built for Toronto !! ;-)-

The grille keeps getting bigger and bigger

For a summer family vacation, we took a 2018 Ford Explorer from Fredericton, New Brunswick to Toronto and Niagara Falls, Ontario and we used half of the third row for people and the other half for cargo (60/40 fold down rear seats). My parents didn’t want a minivan because they thought minivans were weird and didn’t wanna be seen in one anymore 😂😂

Awesome review as usual! I look at three-row SUVs strictly for cargo and doggo. The new GLS is the one that's more practical in that regard, but an X5 is not much smaller either cargo-wise. The main advantage of a three row with all seats folding down is the length. It's actually a lot more useful than a pickup, limited to the length of the box. If Lincoln could just up their game a touch more again, I'd consider the Navigator as the best alternative, but it's simply not as nice. The comfort or the tech are not there.

3-Rows of agony in maintenance horrors. In 40,000 miles, it'll need new valve-stem seals which will cost $3,000-4,000 in labor without parts. The technicians will form a nice bond with this X7, almost better than the owner who will look at pictures of his beloved X7, missing it, during the long vacations at the Service Department. Basically, this is trash on wheels.

True. People hated on Lexus because of the big grills, but at least the grill didn't go higher than the headlights. To me, if the headlights were a little taller and the grill was just placed a bit lower, the size of it would be perfectly fine.
