The 2019 BMW X7 marks the start of the model's first-generation. As BMW's flagship SUV, it stands at the pinnacle of luxury and performance, competing favorably with other high-end offerings. Under the hood, there are two engine choices: a 335-hp 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six for the xDrive40i trim and a 456-hp 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 for the more powerful xDrive50i. Both engines are mated to an 8-speed automatic, directing power to all four wheels via BMW's xDrive all-wheel-drive system. The interior is a showcase of BMW's top tech and materials, with an expansive 12.3'' touchscreen featuring iDrive infotainment system, Apple CarPlay, Wi-Fi hotspot, and wireless phone charging. Key safety features include forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot detection, and parking assist.
