2024 BMW X7 review

1. Great powertrain options 

For pure drive enjoyment, you'll appreciate the powertrain options of the 2024 X7. The xDrive40i base trim has a turbocharged 3.0L inline-six engine, good for 375 hp and 398 lb-ft of torque. For even more fun behind the wheel, step it up with the M60i trim, which has a turbocharged 4.4L V8, delivering 523 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque. Both trims offer all-wheel drive agility and an eight-speed automatic transmission as standard.  

2. High-tech driver aids 

Offering plenty of standard and available driver aids, the 2024 X7 can bring added driving confidence to any situation. Assisting you in downtown traffic is a standard forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking. If you have to regularly navigate public parking garages, the base trim helps out with front and rear parking sensors. The 2024 M60i trim goes a step further with an automated parking system for hands-free steering into the ideal spot — your job is to simply remain spatially aware. 

3. Space for everyone 

Gather your crew and get comfortable because this six- or seven-seater suits everyone. The 2024 X7 has seating for seven people across three rows. Or, choose the optional six-seat configuration with Captain's Chairs. Wide door openings allow for easy entry and exit, and there’s plenty of room for front- and rear-facing child seats too. All 2024 X7 models have four complete sets of LATCH fixtures, two in each of the rear rows. Tall passengers will be happiest upfront or in the second row — there's 39.8 inches and 37.6 inches of legroom respectively. It's worth noting that at 33.3 inches, third-row legroom is still very generous. 

4. Lots of base trim highlights 

A generous base trim with plenty of passenger-pleasing features could make your trim choice very easy indeed, particularly if you’re focused on crew comfort and daily driving practicality. Look out for the xDrive40i trim’s wireless smartphone integration, built-in navigation, and convenient head-up windshield display. For your crew, a panoramic sunroof bathes the cabin in natural light, while the four-zone automatic climate control keeps everyone comfortable on hot and cold days.  

5. Ride enjoyment 

From plush interior finishing to the technical tweaks that enhance ride handling, the 2024 X7 takes your comfort very seriously. Multi-contour, heated front seats in standard Sensafin vegan leather or available Merion leather upholstery set the tone for comfortable hours behind the wheel, while the ambient LED interior lighting can be customized to suit the vibe required. Standard across both trims, adaptive air suspension ensures every ride feels smooth and well-balanced.
