BMW X7

BMW models like the X1, X3, X5, and X6 have already made a real impact on the large SUV market. 

But if you want a convincing 6 or 7-seater car that doesn’t have a fold-up seat in the boot, why not consider the BMW X7?

Check out our video review below to see how this 7-seat car combines tech and luxury. 

BMW X7 interior and technology

With a massage feature on both the driver and passenger seats, this car is definitely luxurious. But BMW hasn’t forgotten about the X7’s primary mission as a family-friendly car. 
Step inside this 7-seater, and you’ll soon realise the X7 was designed by someone who understands family life. 

The leather seats are both elegant and durable, ready to withstand spills and daily wear. And the 360-degree parking camera system makes manoeuvring this large vehicle surprisingly easy.

Unlike some SUVs that treat the back row as occasional seating, the X7’s third row offers genuine comfort for every member of the family. 

Each row provides generous headroom and legroom, making it easy to install kids’ car seats or accommodate taller teenagers. 

The four-zone climate control means no more arguments about temperature, while wireless phone charging through enhanced Bluetooth and multiple USB ports ensure everyone’s devices stay charged - essential for peaceful long journeys. 

 

Smart features for modern families:

  • A WiFi hotspot keeps everyone connected on the go.
  • The panoramic sunroof floods the cabin with natural light.
  • Soft-close doors (no more slamming!)
  • Advanced cruise control with braking functionality makes longer trips less tiring.

Exterior

Yes, the bold front grille makes a statement (and might not be everyone’s cup of tea), but it’s what’s inside that counts. 

The blend of premium materials, thoughtful technology, and genuine space sets a new standard for family SUVs. 

And the massive 21-inch wheels and distinctive styling ensure you’re not just driving another anonymous family car.

Performance

Don’t be fooled by the size of the X7 - this luxury family vehicle can sprint from 0-62 mph in just 6.1 seconds. More importantly, it offers a smooth, confident ride that makes you feel in control, whatever the weather or road conditions. 

Plus, the lane assist and adaptive cruise control transform long family road trips from exhausting to enjoyable. 

BMW describe the X7 as “Where Luxury Meets Performance” - we think they’re spot on!
