2027 BMW X7: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2027 BMW X7 is the departure of the ALPINA XB7, leaving the xDrive40i and M60i as the remaining trims. Otherwise, this is a light update rather than a redesign.
About the 2027 BMW X7
1st generation (G07), post-2023 mid-cycle update
BMW positions the X7 as its largest SUV, combining standard three-row seating and substantial cargo room with the responsive road manners associated with the brand’s smaller vehicles. Its core appeal is luxury-family transportation that does not feel truck-like: strong turbocharged engines, standard AWD, air suspension, a technology-focused cabin, and enough passenger space for seven. The xDrive40i emphasizes smooth everyday performance, while the M60i adds V8 power and specialized handling hardware.
The xDrive40i is the well-rounded, seven-seat version, with a 375-hp six-cylinder engine, AWD, air suspension, and a curved digital display. The performance-focused M60i pairs a 523-hp V8 with rear-wheel steering and an M-tuned chassis while retaining the X7’s roomy three-row cabin.
