Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Based on the BMW X7 SUV,Turbocharged V8 makes 612 horsepower.Retuned suspension.

PROS
Thundering acceleration
Impressive array of advanced driver aids
Exclusivity of the Alpina badge

CONS
Not enough differentiation from the BMW X7
Interior is cluttered with buttons
Ride quality can suffer on less than perfect roads

By: 
edmunds.com

The Alpina XB7 is as fast as it is luxurious and as practical as it is well equipped. The trouble is the same is true of the closely related BMW X7 M50i, which is significantly cheaper.

PROS
Hugely fast
Very spacious and practical
Outstanding infotainment system

CONS
Too similar to an X7 M50i
Much more expensive than the M50i
A lot of road noise

By: 
whatcar.com

PROS
Big, refined power;
understated design;
Decent ride comfort,
even on big wheels.

CONS
Awfully big and thirsty,
unsettling stability-control interventions,
priced for exclusivity.

By: 
caranddriver.com

Pros
Iconic exterior design
Luxurious interior
Powerful engines
Commendable off-roading capabilities

Cons
Hard to get in and out
Not as much cargo space as expected
Unavailable with latest infotainment tech
Clumsy handling on pavement

By: 
edmunds.com

Pros
A box-shaped rocket ship,
boosted performance doesn't compromise off-road prowess,
a millionaire's Jeep.

Cons
Boxy shape makes it overly noisy on the highway,
cornering is not a strong suit, high cost makes scratching it more concerning.
