Used 2020 BMW X7 SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2020 BMW X7 is a seven-passenger, three-row SUV that is available in three trim levels: xDrive40i, xDrive50i and the new M50i. The xDrive40i is powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six cylinder (335 horsepower, 330 lb-ft of torque). It's paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission that sends power to all four wheels. The xDrive50i receives a 4.4-liter turbocharged V8 (456 hp, 479 lb-ft), while the M50i squeezes out 523 hp and 553 lb-ft from that same engine.

Standard xDrive40i features include 21-inch wheels, adaptive LED headlights, automatic high beams, heated power-folding mirrors, automatic wipers, front and rear parking sensors, a power dual-section tailgate, a panoramic sunroof and a self-leveling air-ride suspension.

Inside, you also get four-zone automatic climate control, remote vehicle monitoring and control via a smartphone app, auto-dimming rearview and driver-side mirrors, simulated leather upholstery (SensaTec), heated front seats, 40/20/40-split folding second-row seats, and 50/50-split folding third-row seats.

Standard technology features for the X7 include a 12.3-inch central touchscreen, a navigation system, Apple CarPlay smartphone integration, a wireless charging pad and a 10-speaker sound system. Forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert, and lane departure warning are also included.

To this, you can add the Parking Assistance package (a surround-view camera system, an automated parking system and a video/data recorder).

The xDrive50i trim includes all of the above and adds leather upholstery, multicontour front seats, soft-close doors, a surround-view camera, and a 16-speaker Harman Kardon surround-sound system. Opting for the new M50i gets you 22-inch wheels, dark exterior trim, a sport exhaust, an adaptive sport suspension, a sport differential, launch control and sport brakes.

Most of the X7's options are bundled in packages. The major ones you'll want to consider are the Premium, Cold Weather and Driving Assistance Professional packages. Other notable stand-alone add-ons include 22-inch wheels, running boards, an upgraded trailer hitch, second-row captain's chairs, a 20-speaker Bowers & Wilkins surround-sound system, and a dual-screen rear entertainment system.

Which X7 trim does Edmunds recommend?

The average driver will find the base X7 xDrive40i more than adequate in terms of power, performance and features. There are also plenty of options to deliver the level of luxury that comes with the V8-powered models. Besides appealing to performance-oriented drivers, the xDrive50i would be a sensible upgrade if you plan on towing.
