HIGHS
Extremely quiet and comfortable cabin, excellent powertrain selection, gratifying driving manners.
LOWS
Compromised cargo space, lackadaisical power-folding seats, rearmost seating area is cramped.
VERDICT
BMW's biggest SUV isn’t the best family hauler, but it's by far the fanciest and the best to drive.
Overview
People have split opinions on the 2024 BMW X7's polarizing split-headlight face, but those who can look past it will see what we see: the best full-size-luxury SUV money can buy-and a 2024 Editors' Choice award winner. While money is less of an object to folks who can afford the X7's nearly $83K base price, affluent families who need abundant cargo capacity and a roomy third row should know they'll find neither on this Bimmer. Instead, it boasts the most sure-footed handling in the class as well as excellent engines-from the silky 375-hp straight-six to the almighty 630-hp twin-turbo V-8 that’s reserved for the ultra-luxe Alpina XB7. No matter what's under the hood, all-wheel drive and an air suspension are standard. The latter helps deliver a cloud-like ride, which contributes to the cabin's serene nature. A slew of state-of-the-art features and truly luxurious materials ensure the 2024 X7 exceeds expectations.
What's New for 2024?
Fresh off a refresh for the previous model year, the 2024 BMW X7 doesn't receive any major changes. Among the smaller tweaks are newly optional "Crystal" headlights and an illuminated kidney grille. BMW's Driving Assistant Professional package now includes a semi-autonomous drive mode called Highway Assistant, which allows hands-free driving at speeds up to 85 mph on compatible roadways.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
The entry-level X7 xDrive40i is powered by a 375-hp turbocharged inline-six-cylinder, and the M60i has a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 that makes 523 horses. The Alpina XB7 has a specially tuned version of that V-8, which develops 630 horsepower. All three engines pair with an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. The racy-looking M60i model we tested managed to hit 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds, but the xDrive40i wasn't far behind, hitting the same speed in just 4.6 seconds. Every X7 rides on an air suspension with adaptive dampers, and the chassis can be further enhanced with the available rear-axle steering and active anti-roll bars that reduce body motions. Both features are standard on the M60i, which has a sportier suspension setup by default. Handling is surprisingly lithe for a large SUV and the X7's steering is accurate and nicely weighted. The smallest wheels on the X7 measure 21 inches in diameter, but BMW now also offers 23 inchers for the first time; on the big rollers, though, the X7's ride quality takes a hit.
Überblick
Über das polarisierende Gesicht mit geteilten Scheinwerfern des BMW X7 2024 gibt es geteilte Meinungen, aber wer darüber hinwegsieht, wird sehen, was wir sehen: den besten Full-Size-Luxus-SUV, den man für Geld kaufen kann - und einen Gewinner des Editors' Choice Award 2024. Während Geld für Leute, die sich den Grundpreis des X7 von fast 83.000 US-Dollar leisten können, weniger eine Rolle spielt, sollten wohlhabende Familien, die reichlich Ladekapazität und eine geräumige dritte Sitzreihe benötigen, wissen, dass sie bei diesem Bimmer beides nicht finden werden . Stattdessen verfügt er über das sicherste Handling seiner Klasse sowie hervorragende Motoren - vom seidenweichen 375 PS starken Reihensechszylinder bis zum allmächtigen 630 PS starken Twin-Turbo-V8, der dem ultra-luxuriösen Alpina XB7 vorbehalten ist. Egal, was sich unter der Haube verbirgt, Allradantrieb und eine Luftfederung sind serienmäßig. Letzteres trägt zu einem wolkenähnlichen Fahrgefühl bei, was zum ruhigen Charakter der Kabine beiträgt. Zahlreiche hochmoderne Funktionen und wirklich luxuriöse Materialien sorgen dafür, dass der 2024 X7 alle Erwartungen übertrifft.
Was ist neu für 2024?
Der BMW X7 2024 erhält nach einer Auffrischung für das vorherige Modelljahr keine wesentlichen Änderungen. Zu den kleineren Verbesserungen zählen die neu optionalen „Crystal“-Scheinwerfer und eine beleuchtete Niere. Das Driving Assistant Professional-Paket von BMW umfasst jetzt einen teilautonomen Fahrmodus namens Highway Assistant, der das freihändige Fahren bei Geschwindigkeiten bis zu 130 km/h auf kompatiblen Straßen ermöglicht.
Hva er nytt for 2024?
Nytt på en oppfriskning for forrige modellår, 2024 BMW X7 får ingen store endringer. Blant de mindre justeringene er nylig valgfrie "Crystal"-frontlykter og en opplyst nyregrill. BMWs Driving Assistant Professional-pakke inkluderer nå en semi-autonom kjøremodus kalt Highway Assistant, som tillater håndfri kjøring i hastigheter opp til 85 mph på kompatible veier.
