Reviewer score 64% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autocar have found:

The X7 shares the recently renewed X5’s platform, but is substantially bigger than that car. It occupies a footprint 5.15m long and 2.0m wide less door mirrors. The X5 shares the same width, but come in at 4.92mlong and 1.75m high. The boot is bigger than you’ll find behind the third row of seats some seven-seaters, but for truly usable space you can drop both rows.

Pros

Gorgeous interior
Impressive infotainment system

Cons

Not hugely quick
No automatic gearbox

autoexpress^[2]

Reviewer score 64% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:

The BMW X7 is large, luxurious and filled with the latest technology. A range of powerful engines are offered and while it's not the cheapest to run, the X7 drives far better than you'd expect for a car of its considerable size and weight. A Volvo XC90 will be cheaper to own and the Land Rover Discovery is a better all-rounder, but it's hard to ignore the BMW's great blend of quality, luxury and high-tech equipment.

Pros

Powerful engines
Comfortable to drive
Excellent infotainment

Cons

Cheap to run
Not the most efficient

carmagazine^[3]

Reviewer score 83% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from carmagazine have found:

The X7 comes as standard with seven seats. Row two can be moved forwards and back by up to 14.5cm. The seat backs also split 60/40 as standard. Row three also includes Isofix child-seat mounting points. With all three rows raised, the boot is smaller than a Golf's at 326 litres.

Pros

Powerful petrol engines
Comfortable to drive
Excellent infotainment system

Cons

No off-road capability

carwow^[4]

Reviewer score 88% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from carwow have found:

The BMW X7 is arguably more imposing than the upmarket SUVs it competes with, the Land Rover Discovery, Audi Q7 and Mercedes GLS. Inside, things are more restrained, but suitably high quality. You'll find plenty of piano black, leather and metal surfaces. Infotainment systems don't get better than BMW's iDrive, though.

Pros

Comfortable to drive
Excellent infotainment system
Lots of standard equipment

Cons

Expensive for what you get
Alternatives are more fun to drive

cnet^[5]

Reviewer score 77% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from cnet have found:

With a bump-soaking air suspension system, it's easy to dig the X7. It's still plenty great on the highway, too, floating along and providing a plush ride. The infotainment screen houses the latest version of BMW's iDrive system. The X7's interior is a little less vault-like than expected.

Pros

Fun to drive
Comfortable ride
Excellent infotainment

Cons

Lane-keep assist is a little heavy
No street names

digitaltrends^[6]

Reviewer score 81% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from digitaltrends have found:

-liter twin-turbo V8 churning out 456 hp and 579 lb-ft of torque. Zero to 60 mph takes 5.2 seconds, according to BMW. Handling is amazingly precise for such a big vehicle, although the X7 definitely feels more comfortable cruising along a highway than being hustled down a winding road.

Pros

Powerful V8 engine
Comfortable to drive
Excellent infotainment system

Cons

Lack of standard features

topgear^[7]

Reviewer score 73% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from topgear have found:

The X7 starts out well-equipped: three rows of electric seats, air suspension, 21s, full connected cockpit, LED active headlights. The £2,500 M Sport pack is cosmetics and betterbrakes. You'll probably want to add the tech pack, £3,150, which is a superb HUD, Harman Kardon speakers and some extra driving assistance including adaptive cruise. All it lacks is specialness of ambience and refined ability on poor surfaces.

Pros

Comfortable to drive
Superb infotainment system
Comfortable ride

Cons

Lack of standard equipment
Uncomfortable to ride
