BMW X7: G07 vs G07 LCI
Verdict
The BMW X7 G07 LCI is the cleaner pick for a Malaysian buyer comparing new against outgoing stock: it costs RM630,800 versus RM680,840, yet its 2,998 cc six makes 375 hp and 520 Nm against 335 hp and 450 Nm. That trims 0-100 km/h from 6.1 to 5.8 seconds, with the same 9.5 L/100 km, 217 g/km CO₂ and RM1,637 annual road tax. Both remain huge CKD, seven-seat executive SUVs with a 5,151 mm length, 3,105 mm wheelbase and 326-litre boot, so the LCI buys drivetrain gain, not extra space.
Pick the BMW X7 G07 if a used or outgoing-unit deal undercuts the BMW X7 G07 LCI by enough to offset its lower 335 hp/450 Nm tune and 6.1-second sprint.
Pick the BMW X7 G07 LCI if you want the stronger 375 hp/520 Nm petrol-hybrid version, the quicker 5.8-second sprint and the lower listed price.
