The model
Read full BMW X7 reviewThe BMW X7 is everything a big luxury SUV should be. It's supremely comfortable and quiet on the road, and its huge interior is as practical as it is sumptuous. Its style and sheer scale give it an element of theatre and desirability few rivals can match. We recommend the xDrive40i petrol engine and M Sport trim with – if you can stretch to it – the Ultimate Pack.
The trim
See full equipmentOver and above Excellence trim, M Sport adds sporty cosmetic touches and upgraded brakes. It's out favourite trim.
The engine
See full engine specsOur favourite engine is this six-cylinder petrol. It's serenely quiet when you want it to be, and nice and snarly when you’re pressing on. However, while it offers fractionally quicker acceleration than the 40d (0-62mph in 5.8sec) you do need to rev the engine a bit harder to access that performance.
