The 2020 BMW X7 is the upper-crust seven-seat SUV that finally answers the question: What if I want to spend more for a BMW?
Pros Beautiful interior Great standard tech Comfortable seats everywhere Opulent top trims No bad engine choices
Cons Very expensive Digital dash isn’t our favorite Look-at-me grille Many spend-up options
The 2020 BMW X7's #5 ranking is based on its score within the Luxury Large SUVs category. Currently the BMW X7 has a score of 7.8 out of 10, which is based on our evaluation of 11 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.
Pros High-end cabin materials Many standard tech and safety features Muscular engine options Comfortable ride
Cons Steering feels too light
The most significant update to the 2020 X7 lineup is the new M50i model, which brings a more powerful version of BMW's twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 and other unique content. Otherwise the model-year changes are pretty minor. The top two trims feature more standard features such as soft-close doors, gesture controls, remote engine start, and more. In addition to some revised option packages, the X7 can now be equipped with five-zone climate control. With the introduction of the M50i, the regular 50i no longer offers the M Sport package.
Pros Smooth and robust powertrains, marvelously quiet cabin, seats are serenely comfy.
Cons Leans too much in corners, some rivals are roomier inside, painfully slow power rear seats.
There’s a lot to like about the 2019 Chevrolet Equinox, even if the best configuration requires a careful hand on the order sheet.
