The upcoming BMW X7 is one of several new models that Munich is introducing this year, and it aims to push the X line of SUVs towards the upper echelons of luxury. These latest spyshots give us our best look yet at the full-sized seven-seater, including some of its interior.
The latter incorporates many of the elements seen on the Concept Z4 and 8 Series, such as the horizontal air vents with silver trim, newer, more modern switchgear and a new digital instrument display bordered by C-shaped dials – including a reverse-direction rev counter. There’s also a small gearlever sitting atop a gloss black control panel on the centre console.
Appearing to be fitted with the M Sport kit, the exterior is as we’ve seen in previous teasers, with slim headlights – featuring three-dimensional hexagonal daytime running lights – flanking a massive double kidney grille. The usual M Sport’s large air intakes feature underneath, replacing the slim full-width inlet and vertical Air Curtain intakes of the standard variant.
Moving to the rear, there are broad L-shaped tail lights and a pair of sizeable exhaust pipes. It’s difficult to overstate how huge this flagship SUV will be – the first-generation X3 helpfully parked next to it at the lights isn’t a small car by any means, and yet it’s absolutely dwarfed by the X7.
Like all new rear-wheel drive BMWs, the X7 will ride on the modular CLAR architecture that already underpins the G30 5 Series and G12 7 Series. Expect a range of six- and eight-cylinder engines to power it (including a 456 hp 4.4 litre turbo petrol V8 in the xDrive50i), along with the 6.6 litre twin-turbo V12 from the M760Li. An iPerformance plug-in hybrid should also be in the works, as previewed by the Concept X7.

is the car displayed correctly in the LED screen?
Interior looks dated and the centre console has too many buttons, much like the previous gen Q7 and Cayenne.
Have the same feeling.
You can’t judge the BMW’s interior by their look…they are extremely ergonomic and functional
Why not using knob instead of buttons?
It is more convenient
BMW has stuck with their recognizable interior for far too long. Many other marques have moved on to more modern designs that will appeal to a wider range of potential buyers. Its not always easy to move away from the conventional ideas but after so long, its probably time to do something fresh.
