What Is the 2022 BMW X7?

The X7 SUV is the largest vehicle in BMW’s lineup, and it can seat up to seven people in three rows. The xDrive40i version is powered by a 335-horsepower, turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine, while the M50i gets a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 that makes 523 hp. Both engines work with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive is standard. An Alpina XB7 version that’s powered by a 612-hp, twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8 is also available.

Should I Buy the 2022 BMW X7?

The X7 will carry your family in luxurious style, and it offers impressive V-8 performance — for a price. We like the availability of second-row captain’s chairs, but, oddly, they don’t fold flat when you need more cargo space, which limits the SUV’s versatility.
