2023 BMW X7 | The Best Gets Even Better

There is no shortage of ultra-premium SUVs over which to drool such as the Urus, Cullinan, or Bentayga but for less than $100,000 the BMW X7 isn’t playing second fiddle to any of them. Refreshed in all the right ways for the 2023 model year, the X7 is BMW at its SAV best and a true standout in the luxury three-row class.

MSRP as-tested: $93,745

Wouldn’t use the word gorgeous when describing the X7

[fuffthebucks]

That front end is just hideous. I don't know if the pre refresh looks any better though

[ThabileTheTrainer]

Wonderful and informative review! THE BEST BMW BY FAR! The X7 is unapologetically controversial and I LOVE IT! BMW is certainly not a crowd pleaser when it comes to the X7. The X7 is a true SUV killer!

Great overall review. Informative, engaging and practical. I love your communication style and factual knowledge about your presentation.

We use many luxury cars to pickup our wealthy customers from the airport. So far this new 2023 X7 gets the most compliments from the drivers and the passengers we pickup. The six cylinder is a remarkable power plant.

I can’t believe how much info you packed into this review, Steve. Thanks!

[CarsofGlasgow]

I quite like the front end on the X7, suits it better than the i7 in my opinion.

[davidrpriest]

Great review! I own a 2022 and love it. I might upgrade to the LCI and this video puts Brooklyn Grey on the option list!

The X7 has certainly upped the game! Will be interesting to see how Mercedes and Audi respond.

You do a great job of critical examination and explanation and leave the derogatory puerile stuff to others. That is refreshing. I ordered one and revisit some of these sites to familiarize myself before it arrives. Obviously there is a rear view camera but what is a "rear view camera mirror?" does that mean it displays in the screen as opposed to the mirror? There was also hands free on my test drive as well. Is this a difference between 2023 model and the 2024 model they are delivering

[fiorano]

Mr. Hammes, it is always a pleasure to watch your videos. All the best from Croatia.

I opted for the 2022 X7, something about the headlights and the long screen dash wasnt appealing to me in the 2023. Even though I love that this one has an illuminated grill and more color options for the cabin ambience

I don’t know why you don’t have at least 100 K views always a top production . The ‘ Albany Flash’ underappreciated ‘

[CMCNestT]

Escalade outsells X7 4:3 in North America. You can argue they are not the same class but they are both 3 row SUVs in roughly the same price range.

[ALAMakaAJ]

Beast. I have the prev gen X7, but I don’t really see a reason to upgrade just yet though.

[ktpinnacle]

While this rig makes it clear what American auto manufacturers should be offering at this price point, it's also apparent that the purchase price is only to price to get into the door. Everything else connected with operating this machine will be more expensive.

[deepseadweller]

Bought in Black Metallic gray interior.. absolutely beautiful! Couldn't be happier.

[andrenj]

Lexus LX 600, reliability is the king;)

iDrive 8: Makes the vehicle a total fail.

[el_av_ate]

Feels like a weird rip of the palisade lights, but it doesn't work.
