View dealThe BMW X7 is the largest SUV BMW builds - a 5.18-metre, six or seven-seat luxury 4x4 that sits above the X5 and shares its outlook with the 7 Series saloon. If you need three genuinely usable rows and want them wrapped in leather, this is BMW's answer.
It comes as an SUV and nothing else, with a choice of petrol or diesel, both automatic and both all-wheel drive. Trims run Excellence and M Sport, with the 523bhp M60i as the performance version.
Reviewers consistently describe it as quiet, imperious and far tidier through corners than a car of this bulk has any right to be. The flip side is size: at 2.00m wide before the mirrors, it demands a long driveway and a forgiving multi-storey.

Manufacturer data for the versions we currently offer. Last updated 5 October 2026.
The X7 is BMW's full-size luxury SUV: six or seven seats, a 3.11-metre wheelbase and a 3-year, unlimited-mileage manufacturer warranty behind it. The current X7 has been on sale in this second-generation form since 2022.
Road testers reliably praise two things - the hush at motorway speed and the quality of the cabin materials. Criticism tends to land on the grille, the sheer footprint in town, and an infotainment system that buries a few functions in menus.
Practicality is a game of two halves. With all the seats upright the boot is 300 litres, which is small-hatchback territory; fold the rear rows and you get 2,120 litres. Braked towing runs to 3,500kg.
Because the X7 is expensive to run as a purchase and generously equipped as standard, so a fixed monthly rental on a car you hand back at the end suits it well. Every version gets a long list of kit, whichever trim you pick.
Standard across the range: head-up display, opening panoramic roof, heated and electrically adjustable front seats with memory, four-zone climate control, wireless phone charging, built-in navigation, a digital instrument cluster, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a powered tailgate.
On safety and assistance, every X7 has autonomous emergency braking, a rear-view camera, rear parking sensors, rear cross-traffic alert, automatic high beam and LED headlights. Adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, active lane-change assist and traffic sign recognition are factory options on all three trims - worth settling before you order, because you can't add them later.
Two choices, no plug: petrol or diesel, both automatic, both all-wheel drive, and neither needs charging. Mileage and how often you tow should decide it. Our petrol or diesel guide covers the trade-off in more detail.
The petrol range runs from 376 to 523bhp, through an 8-speed automatic, with 0-62mph in 4.7 to 5.8 seconds depending on version. Official economy is 23.2 to 29.1mpg. It suits lower-mileage drivers who value smoothness and don't want a diesel.
The 3-litre, 347bhp diesel makes 720Nm and still hits 62mph in 5.9 seconds, with official economy of 34.9 to 35.3mpg. For anyone covering big motorway miles or towing regularly - up to 3,500kg braked - this is the sensible pick.
| Diesel | Petrol | |
|---|---|---|
| Boot | 300 litres | 300 litres |
| Power | 347 bhp | 376–523 bhp |
| Seats | 6–7 | 6–7 |
| 0–62 mph | 5.9 s | 4.7–5.8 s |
| Braked towing | 3500 kg | 3500 kg |
| Economy (WLTP) | 34.9–35.3 mpg | 23.2–29.1 mpg |
Three to weigh up: Excellence and M Sport as the everyday trims, then the M60i. Equipment differences are narrow, so the decision is mostly about wheels, cabin trim and, in the M60i's case, engine.
Excellence starts at 376bhp with all-wheel drive, 20-inch V Spoke Style 750 alloy wheels, leather upholstery and air suspension. It also has a wireless charging tray, an illuminated ambient lighting strip in the instrument panel and lumbar support for driver and front passenger.
The Excellence is currently available from £659.50 a month.
M Sport keeps the same 376bhp starting point and adds a three-spoke M leather multifunction steering wheel, plus 21-inch Double Spoke Style 754 M alloy wheels. Leather upholstery again, and the same option list for adaptive cruise, massaging and ventilated front seats.
The M Sport is currently available from £679.90 a month. Against the Excellence, that is currently £20.40/mo more expensive.
Then there's the performance X7. The M60i brings 523bhp and all-wheel drive, keeps the 21-inch Double Spoke Style 754 M wheels and leather, and marks itself out inside with an illuminated M ambient lighting strip - character rather than a longer kit list.
The M60i is currently available from £1,503.65 a month. Against the M Sport, that is currently £823.75/mo more expensive.
