BMW has launched the X7 in India at INR 98.90 lakh. The flagship SUV is available in two configurations in our market: xDrive40i and xDrive30d DPE Signature. Both the configurations carry the same price.
The BMW X7 features an upright front-end featuring BMW Laserlight with Adaptive LED Headlights and a huge single frame kidney grille which makes it look imposing. A hexagonal lower grille sits below, while the housing of the sleek horizontally placed LED fog lamps features silver-finished surrounds.
At the back, its flattish wrap around tail lamps are connected by a chrome bar which looks very elegantly designed. Overall, the grandest member of the BMW 'X' family carries a similar silhouette which quickly reminds of the other models under the same range.
The xDrive40i model variant is powered by a 3.0-litre straight-six, turbo-petrol engine that puts out 340 PS and 450 Nm of torque, while the xDrive30d comes with a 3.0-litre straight-six turbo-diesel engine that produces 265 PS and 620Nm of torque. An 8-speed automatic transmission and an all-wheel drive system is standard.
Inside, the BMW X7 comes with BMW Live Cockpit Professional comprising a 12.3-inch fully virtual instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch central display with Apple CarPlay and gesture control, five-zone automatic climate control, park assist (autonomous parking), an electric three-part panoramic glass roof and Panorama glass roof Sky Lounge. Panorama glass roof Sky Lounge illuminates more than 15,000 graphic patterns which embosses a starlit sky effect.
The biggest X-range SUV is 5,151 mm long, 2,000 mm in wide, 1,805 mm in tall and has a wheelbase of 3,105 mm. It is available in six- and seven-seating configurations and features a reclining function for all three rows.
