New BMW X7: A Range Rover beater?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Meet the heavily revised BMW X7!
It may only be a mid-life facelift, but the X7 has undergone a couple of big changes to help differentiate it from its predecessor! But what exactly has changed?
Well for starters, there are a number of updates to the exterior. Around the back, there’s a new tail light design and a new bumper, and because we’ve got our hands on the X7 M60i edition, it also comes with quad tailpipes! There are a number of updates at the front, too, with a new headlight design and bumper. And like with any new BMW, it also comes equipped with a massive grille!
On the inside, the X7 is covered in high-quality materials. This updated edition also comes with a new infotainment display and system, the same as found in the latest iX. There’s also an updated centre console design, and the M60i has a couple of M design features, including an M steering wheel and M colours on the seatbelts.
When it comes to engines, the entry-level car comes with either a 3-litre straight-six turbo petrol or diesel, which can deliver 352hp or 381hp respectively. However, it’s possible to go much bigger, with the range-topper being a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 that puts down 530hp!
The entry-level X7 starts from around £85,000, but if you want to choose the V8-powered M60i, you’ll need to pay at least £115,000! But is it worth it? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

Fastest time stock at Santa Pod for TurboS is 10.7 and to double down on that Cleetus McFarland had a remapped and piped TurboS and even that wasn't managing under 10.6sec. Cleetus is a far far better drag racer than Mat and he was in a near stage1 TurboS. The timing box Mat uses is notorious for being easy to con and easy to calibrate wrong to gain performance. Some people even claim that timing box is so bad that if its not mounted directly to metal it doesn't even register the first 0.2.

@@StopMediaFakery modern dynos aren't even close to accurate. Steve Morris spoke about how much more accurate older dynos were that relied on mechanical parts more than algorithms. Stick any production car on an older dyno and the figure will be a fair bit less. He thinks the dynos can be off or different as much as 300bhp on his big 5000bhp lumps. The times at santa pod for the cars Mat has on here are always slower. TurboS for example does not do a 10.2 or 10.4sec, they come in at 10.8 fastest stock with better tyres on. Even remapped with an exhaust they don't do 10.4sec see Cleetus for proof. Cleetus obviously being much better drag racer than Mat too.
Great review as usual Matt! This car is MASSIVE! However,this new touch control trend is a real let down. You have to leave your eyes off the road for such a long time just to adjust the temperature of the car and all. Manufacturers must get rid of this and give us back physical button so we can adjust things on the fly, without even looking at the button (provided we remember the button layout though)
X7 is amazing, even the 40i version hustles, and with no 3rd row option on the new X5 builds it's the only 7 seater from BMW. The new iDrive layout is complicated because of a lack of buttons but the excellent voice recognition means you can just say "Hello BMW" to access most of the functionality.
It was an amazing review, mat. It would be more helpful if you could tell the better alternative options of x7 in the final verdict as you said to shortlist it!

As always an amazing presentation by Matt. However I can’t help but hate the new split headlight design. I don’t know why BMW did it to themselves😢
Good review, i dont really like the split headlights not on the x7 and the 7. The big screens on the inside are a no for me , to bad that they do it on all the models now 😕. physical buttons are in some ways just better, climate etc.
such a good review as always. i've driven bmw's for several decades now, and i'm sad to see them return to using iDrive for common settings (heat/ac, cruise distance, etc.). i test drove the new 760 and found the control experience to be similar to the early days of iDrive - where you needed to go hunting for the most basic controls. call me old (which i am!) but I love and will always want physical buttons for frequently accessed controls. when i launched the new climate menu, i found it very overwhelming. would i get used to it? of course. but one of the most important lessons i've learned in life is to keep the simple things simple!

This looks great and i didn't like the 7 Series at first, but having seen some in Person now here in Germany, definitely a Car that looks better in Person. Here is why BMW does such big Changes in Design every few Years: They do that since the late 1990s/early 2000s and are used to People and Journalists calling it ugly. But then they also noticed that the initial Reaction brings Attention to the Car and also more Interest. They noticed that their Sales still go up, no matter what Peoples initial Reaction to a new Design is. So they keep being experimental, something i wish more Car Manufacturers would do. People always complain whenever BMW changes any Design extremely, that's because most other Brands don't make big Changes in Designs every couple of Years like BMW does. So every few Years when BMW does a drastic Change in Design you get the same Comments "BMW Designers lost their mind!" etc. and a lot of People calling the new Design ugly but in the End the Design grows on People or they get used to it and often start to like it.

Great review! I'd choose GLS over this Citroen just because of the exterior design

Ironic thing about your comment is Mercedes interior parts are made by French brand Renault... Thats y their interior quality is terrible

@@rg6982 I agree with you about the MB interior quality. I just don't like recent BMWs' exterior design language. In my opinion, the front of this X7 is disgusting. That's why I would (despite the inferior quality of Merc interior) choose GLS over this X7. And ps. I drive BMW 5.
Such a shame the normal 7 series lost that chrome strip in the back, for me that made the 7 series stand out
The inside mounted camera is now much better quality, what did you change??
Did they just steal the Hyundai Santa Fe looks?
Who thinks that the new x7 makes the old one proud of what it looked like….

True that. And by no means it was a good looking car.

The exterior design actually looks pretty good to me, but they should have kept the silver grill for that classic look
3.91 seconds.........yes please. Looking forward to the Diesel test, that should be a stonker.💪
its so strange. I absolutely hate the new 7 series and i7. However, even though i hate the exact same design on the 7, i´m actually really liking it on this X7!

Yep. The front end design kinda similar to even Lotus Emira imo.

I saw my first G70 7 Series the other day. It had one of the two-tone paints and it looked really good.
This is a very good SUV 🎉❤😊 please we want to see a race between this BMW, MERCEDES GLS AND THE 2023 RANGE ROVER V8 and the LAND ROVER V8 ❤
Nice review but do you realise those 'pop up banners' you keep referring to never show up for we folks that add adblock to our browsers. Best to provide links in the 'more' listing of the video. 👍

Wow Škoda Kamiq headlights on BMW. Never thought they will copy from each other the other way around.

My parents have a BMW X7. They’re AMAZING. Definitely the best SUV in its price range!

Hi, do they have any issues with the A/C system being weak on the X7?. Which model year do they have?. Thanks.
Probably a great car ! Bland styling. Looks a bit like Hyundai Kona or Skoda Kamiq from front. Range Rover has sheer presence unlike anything else on the road.

Agree, it’s Korean styling and cheap looking interior, it can’t touch a Range Rover in any department.

Wait what how is this thing doing a 3.9 from 0-60 with close 3 tons of weight thats insane, and the best Thing is its the new S68 Engine, would be Dope if that would be also build up from the b58 that would explain those crazy times.
I think it is a bad design influence trying to let two displays look like one. You can always see the edged between the two displays. No need to sell it as one screen. Thanks for the video")
The BMX X7 is a sporty 7-seater!

Love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳,,...Best car reviewer guy in the world,, I always wait for your reviews..
I've been asking for this review, now I can make a decisive decision 🙂
Whats does that bmw x7 do in dry weather on 0-60 mph. Thats good for wet but i think 3.2secs it will hit
The new Range Rover is gorgeous but I do think if it was my money I'd have to take the peace of mind and get this instead...also as many have already mentioned the split headlight design really works here in a way it doesn't quite on the 7 series
Beautiful car. I am mainly impressed by the V8 (the M type with 530 hp) and by the quality of the interior (seats, displays, .....) . i think that this M 60 i is the only one that can be compared to the RANGE ROVER .
I rented one of the last gen x7 and was pretty disappointed. It was only a 40i so maybe it was missing a lot of options but the infotainment and gauge cluster were so frustrating to use. Although by far my biggest complaint was from when I tried sitting in the back row it had nice pillows on the headrests and that rear sunroof as well but no climate controls or vents at all I was shocked. This was in Florida so it only took a few minutes for that rear sunroof to bake me. The passengers in the middle row turned the AC to full blast and I shut the sunroof but it was still incredibly hot in the rear row and none of the air from the front was coming back. I really couldn’t believe there were no vents or climate controls for the rear seats, it made them unusable without them.
I think is definitely certain: BMW has ohne three best rim designs
