BMW X7
Model Overview
Introduced for the 2019 model year, the BMW X7 is the German brand's first SUV model to offer standard three-row seating. It's also the poshest expression of BMW's range of utilities, positioned alongside the 7 Series sedan in the company's hierarchy. Seating is for six or seven in a quiet, airy cabin with sunroof panels for all three rows. The X7 is more of a driver's vehicle than its size suggests.
