If you want premium equipment, sleek styling, high reliability, and powerful engines, look no further. The 2020 BMW X7 is the right choice for you.
We can find a lot of praise comments all over the internet. With only a few complains, we can expect a lot when the company fixes these lacks for the 2020 BMW X7. Check out which advantages this full-size 7-seat SUV can offer you over its rivals.
Dimensions – Space for Six or Seven Persons
By default, the new 2020 BMW X7 will offer seven seating spots. However, you can reconfigure it with captain’s chairs in the middle row and get a six-seat ultra-luxurious SUV. The vehicle is going to be 203 inches long with a wheelbase of 122 inches. With a third row up, there won’t be too much space behind the rear seats. However, if you don’t need them, you can fold the rests and get 48 cubic feet. Behind the first row, there are 90 cubic feet of cargo space.
Premium Interior Brings Too Many Luxurious Features
Well, it can’t be too many equipment as long as the price is reasonable. The list of standard features for the 2020 BMW X7 interior is stunning. We will start with a panoramic sunroof and three-zone climate, of course, automatic. The Bavarian company takes care of modern technologies, so owners of their new 7-seat SUV will have wireless charging and command center with 12-inch touchscreen display. Apple Car Play and navigation are standard. The driver will also get a lot of help from its vehicle. Parking sensors and a rear-view camera, rain-sensitive wipers, warnings for lane departure and cross traffic, and many, many more features will keep your peace of mind inside the BMW X7.
Even More Optional Equipment
Let’s move on. Why keep everything at the top level, when you can push boundaries of the interior to the limits. BMW will show off with climate control in 5-zones for the third row. Self-closing doors, LED roof, power sunshades, various additional audio (12-, 16-, and 20-speaker systems by Harman Kardon and B&W)… all available for extra money. A second-row infotainment upgrade adds big screens and DVD player. The head-up display we could expect as a standard feature, but 2020 BMW X7 will offer it as optional.
2020 BMW X7 Specs Are Stunning
There are two drivetrains available for buyers in the US. There are tow more diesel units in other markets where this 7-seat SUV is going to appear. The specs sheet of the entire 2020 BMW X7 lineup is breathtaking. The base setup combines a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six engine with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The xDrive40i configuration crunches out 335 hp. That is 145 ponies less than the xDrive50i setup with a V8 engine. A 4.4-liter unit uses a twin-turbo system to maximize the output.
Diesel engines are getting a turbo and quad-turbo treatment. The other one is known as X7M, while the regular diesel model bursts 260 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque.
2020 BMW X7M Jaw-Dropping Specs
European buyers can already buy the X7M model with a diesel engine. This vehicle is using a 3.0-liter quad-turbo drivetrain and produces 400 hp and 560 lb-ft of torque. The 2020 BMW X7M will be available in the US market as well. But, not a diesel. The M50i is a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 petrol unit capable to create 523 hp and 555 lb-ft of torque.
The Latest Rumor – 2020 BMW X7 Hybrid
It is still unbelievable. But the speed of development is stunning and these rumors are not surprising us. Even if this doesn’t happen and 2020 BMW X7 hybrid is not getting into production, we will see it sooner or later. For the next season do not have high expectations. Even if such an engine appears, it will be a kind of mild-hybrid model.
The Price is Better than For Toyota Land Cruiser, Mercedes GLS, Lexus LX…
The MSRP of the 2020 BMW X7 remains at the same level as for its predecessors. That means the configuration with a V6 engine will cost $74,000. The increase in power makes the price jump. A V8 model is going to get the MSRP tag of $93,000. The M treatment is not cheap though. The X7M will be at the same level as the Mercedes-Benz AMG GLS – above $120,000.
The new 2020 BMW X7 release date will come pretty soon. The vehicle is almost unchanged and the X7M is ready for production. The company will make it available by the end of 2019. So, stay put for a little longer and the X7 can become your new favorite SUV.
