About the 2026 BMW X7
1st generation X7 (G07, 2019-present), late-cycle year after the 2023 refresh.
BMW positions the X7 as its largest and most luxurious SUV: a full-size, three-row family vehicle that still aims to feel more athletic than other big luxury SUVs. The core appeal is space, strong road manners, and a tech-forward cabin, with a wide spread from the smooth six-cylinder xDrive40i to the V8-powered M60i and the more exclusive ALPINA XB7. It is the X7 for buyers who want room and comfort without giving up BMW-style driver engagement.
The 2026 X7 remains a large, upscale three-row SUV, with the 375-hp xDrive40i serving as the everyday six-cylinder model and the 523-hp M60i adding V8 power and sharper handling. Both feature a curved dashboard display, while the 631-hp ALPINA XB7 emphasizes hand-finished luxury, long-distance comfort, and performance.
