The BMW X7 (G07) is a full-size luxury SUV produced by BMW.[2] The G07 is the first generation of the X7 model. It was unveiled online on 17 October 2018. Sales commenced in March 2019.[3]
Launch and development
The X7 is based on the Concept X7 iPerformance that was showcased during the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show.
The G07 features a self-levelling air suspension system, with a double-wishbone front suspension and multi-link rear suspension.[4] It can be raised or lowered by 40 mm (1.6 in) and will automatically lower the car by 20 mm (0.8 in) at speeds of over 138 km/h (86 mph).[5] The boot capacity is rated at 326 litres (11.5 cu ft), and 2,120 litres (75 cu ft) with the seats folded down.[6]
All petrol and diesel models feature engine particulate filters and meet the Euro 6d-TEMP emissions standard.[7] The xDrive50i model is available outside the European markets, while the European markets will get the M50i models.[8]
Equipment
The G07 X7 is available in Design Pure Excellence and M Sport trims.[9]
Standard equipment includes Vernasca leather, five-zone climate control, iDrive 7.0, Adaptive LED headlights, wireless charging,[10] and electrically adjustable and heated three row seating. The middle row features three seats with a two-seat configuration also available.[11] The X7 also receives driver assistance systems including autonomous cruise control and collision detection with braking intervention.[12] Other options include cooled and heated cup holders, a panoramic sunroof with LED light patterns, and laser headlights.[13] An off-road package adds selectable off-road driving modes and adjusts the ride height, acceleration and transmission response, and traction control system.[14]
The instrument cluster features a camera to ensure the driver is paying attention to the road while autonomous functions are active,[15] and allows the driver to take their hands off the steering wheel for up to one minute.
