BMW X7

BMW X7 has an impressive luxurious interior. The seats have cream and black, dual-tone stitched leather covers, extending right to the doors. However, BMW also offers buyers the choice of customizing leather colours. This comes under the 'BMW Individual Full Leather Trim' package for an additional amount. BMW has included a fantastic feature in the form of power-operated seats to get rid of manual pulling or pushing the seats while driving.

Added to this, some of the high-end features offered by this BMW model are keyless entry and start, a head-up display, four-zone climate control, wireless phone charging, powered split tailgate, power-adjustable front, and second-row seats, and ‘Vernasca’ real leather trim.

Its standard specifications also include the latest OS 7.0 software that allows ‘Hey BMW’ spoken commands, 12.3-inch touchscreen, 10-speaker audio, three-year connected services subscription, digital radio, one-year wireless Apple CarPlay subscription, gesture inputs, and rotary dial.

With an imposing look, this hunk of a machine self explains its look. The build quality is right on spot with larger grills, active radiator grille shutters and 20-inch light-alloy wheels underneath run-flat tires. This car has adaptive LED headlights, making the journey safe and smooth even during heavy downpours. X7 imparts a sturdy look with aluminium window surrounds and roof rails.

The look has been enhanced with panoramic glass sunroof and a power-adjustable exterior rear-view with a turn indicator.

It is available in two variants in the Australian market - xDrive30d (entry-level) and M50d (flagship).

For such a large car, the driving experience is quite silky smooth. With 265 horsepower engine easily cruises along highways and gets up hills. Unlike other diesel car models, X7 is extremely quiet once the windows are closed. Handling the steering is also super easy making taking U-turns or back and forth without any extra effort.

The 360 camera is remarkably more efficient than the reverse camera (both present in the X7), acting as a good assistant to the driver at the time of reverse parking.

Keeping aside its wow-alicious looks, the new engine of X7is praiseworthy. Its engine capacity is 2993 cc with a Steptronic transmission system. The fuel system goes hand in hand with the 6-cylinder turbo diesel engine. For a car model of this huge size, the fuel capacity is of 3.0-litres. Due to this SUV's acclaimed mixed-cycle fuel consumption, X7 is a fuel-saving machine utilizing only 7.3 litres fuel per 100km.

X7 showcases ample power display with a strong torque of 620 Nm, revving up the acceleration from 2000 rpm to 2500 rpm with ease. For a fast pace drive, this model offers a top speed of 227 kmph. Even though there are cars with more powerful engines, one cannot throw aside the claim of X7 to attain 0-100 kmph acceleration within 7 seconds. Simply put, this promises a higher power picking ability without the struggle.

When considering the safety of riders, X7 supports M sport suspension for both front and rear brakes. It also comes with auto emergency braking functionality.

Coming to the other safety aspect, BMW X7 covers the standard security measures. This car offers a varied range of safety features like driver and passenger airbag facility (8 bags in total), cross-traffic alert (rear and front), lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and more.

Considering the requirement based on the buyer’s aspects, X7 is no doubt a sure winner. It is a beautiful car, suited for both small and big families. A 7-seater like BMW X7 has ample legroom for everyone, assuring smooth and comfortable long rides.
