The 2022 X7 adds a heaping dose of driving enjoyment to the large luxury three-row SUV segment with its available turbocharged V8 engine and capable handling. It also offers a bevy of technology features along with enough cargo room for the entire family. It's appropriately big, bold and powerful.

Though the X7 is the largest SUV in BMW's lineup, it's still smaller than America's homegrown Cadillac Escalade and Lincoln Navigator. This could be a positive or negative depending on what you're looking for. It's definitely sportier, especially when equipped with its available turbocharged V8. But for maximum passenger and cargo space, the Escalade and Navigator win out. The Mercedes-Benz GLS is another standout rival.

Good
7.9
out of 10
We drove the 2022 BMW X7 on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.
Performance
8/10
How does the X7 drive? We tested the X7 in xDrive50i guise. It provides simply delightful acceleration. But there can be a small delay between the time you touch the gas pedal and when you start moving, and that can make low-speed driving annoying.
When you're going straight, the steering provides good on-center feel. It's a bit inconsistent in turns, though. It can be too quick and the level of power assist can be too high for the size and nature of this vehicle. Other times it can feel resistant to turning. Once you're going around a bend, though, the X7 is thoroughly stable and composed.

Once you're going around a bend, though, the X7 is thoroughly stable and composed.
Comfort
7.5/10
How comfortable is the X7? Our test X7 had the available road-scanning system that adjusts the suspension based on what it sees. The system is effective at keeping the ride smooth over bigger bumps, but it struggles on relatively smooth or undulating roads and makes the X7 ride too soft.
Inside the cabin, the wide front seatbacks can accommodate a variety of body types. We also like the low levels of wind and road noise. We're less fond of the climate control system. Even when you select the auto setting, you often need to make additional adjustments to the fan intensity and temperature of the dash panel vents. What's the point of auto? You have to continually fiddle with the controls to maintain comfort.

Interior
8/10
How’s the interior? Ample adjustment options ensure you can find the right seating position, while the large windows, mirrors and an extensive camera array provide a commanding outward view. There's plenty of space for the family, though in interior measurements, the X7 doesn't match up to some competitors. The sole exception is third-row shoulder room, which is remarkably tight even by third-row standards.
Operating the controls is a mixed bag. Most buttons are easy to find. Gesture controls are an easily ignorable gimmick, but other parts are baffling. For example, sometimes the stereo turns off when you open the door to exit. Other times it waits until you've exited and locked the door.

Technology
8.5/10
How’s the tech? The large and crisp displays are easy to read and react quickly to control inputs and voice commands. But the complexity of the underlying systems and somewhat convoluted menu layout mean there's a steep learning curve. The X7 does come with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard.
In the right circumstances, such as stop-and-go traffic, the X7's adaptive cruise control system controls speed and steering without driver input, only asking that you keep your eyes on the road (verified with a driver-facing camera).

Storage
7.5/10
How’s the storage? The X7 has plenty of room and smart cargo storage options, though it's not as spacious as some oversize luxury SUVs. The bisected hatch provides an always useful tailgate. And we like the deep storage space underneath the third row where a spare tire would typically reside. While the door pockets are large, interior storage options are merely adequate.
Power-adjusting and -folding second and third rows are slow but easy to operate. They also provide neat features such as max cargo and passenger buttons that arrange the seats accordingly. When equipped with the optional tow hook, the X7 can tow 7,500 pounds, which is about average among three-row SUVs of this size.

Fuel Economy
7.5/10
How’s the fuel economy? We tested the V8-powered xDrive50i model. It gets an EPA-estimated 17 mpg in combined city/highway driving, which is about average for a big luxury SUV with a V8. Our test X7 posted 19.6 mpg on our 115-mile mixed-driving evaluation route, so attaining the EPA's numbers should be pretty easy. If you want better fuel economy, consider the X7's six-cylinder xDrive40i model, which is rated at 21 mpg combined.
Value
7.5/10
Is the X7 a good value? The X7's price, features and build quality live up to what you'd expect from a large German luxury SUV. The uniform interior panel gaps relay a strong sense of build quality, while extensive and high-quality leather and trimmings reinforce the high-end experience. The four-year/50,000-mile basic and powertrain warranties are average when you look at similar vehicles. But BMW goes a bit above average by covering scheduled maintenance for three years/36,000 miles and providing 24-hour roadside assistance for four years without a mileage restriction.
Wildcard
8.5/10
The X7's massive grille and narrow headlights give it an imposing road presence when viewed from the front. The interior relays that hard-to-place sense of luxury too. Factor in the X7's beefy power and you've got a luxury SUV that makes an appropriately big and bold statement.
2022 BMW X7 trim level differences
The 2022 BMW X7 is a seven-passenger three-row SUV that is available in two trim levels: xDrive40i and M50i. The xDrive40i is powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six cylinder engine good for 335 horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque. The M50i uses a turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 that produces 523 hp and 553 lb-ft. Both engines are paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.
Which X7 trim does Edmunds recommend?
The base X7 xDrive40i is a fine choice for most buyers. It comes well equipped with features and will save you considerably over the V8-powered M50i. Of the X7's available options, the Driving Assistance Professional package is a near-must as it bundles a variety of helpful advanced driver aids.

Great utility vehicle that drives like a sportscar
5 out of 5 starsBentonville Buyer, 10/25/2020
2020 BMW X7 xDrive40i 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)
I bought my x7 a year ago after considering this and an Audi Q8. I liked the Audi as well, but the dealership was 80 miles away versus 3 miles away in Bentonville. Sales process was the smoothest I have ever experienced. Came in, drove the car, decided I wanted it and was done purchasing it 35 minutes later. Service to date has been equally smooth. Unquestionably, the best dealer … experience I have every had.
As far as the vehicle itself, I had always liked X5’s, but would never consider purchasing one as they were too small for my liking. The X7 addresses that, giving me enough storage for trips and a third (albeit cramped) row of seats for when I have a lot of kids to haul.
The driving experience is awesome - particularly in sports mode. The pickup from 50-80 miles per hour is impressive and makes passing a breeze - which is important for me as I drive many 2 lane roads in the country. And the technology, is fantastic. The center council is very well done. It’s easy to navigate and the sharpness of the screen is tough to beat. That is the first thing people comment on when they are in the car, particularly when the cameras are on when I’m reversing. I don’t know if the video is 4K, but the quality is exceptional.
Overall, I’m very happy with the car 1 year in. I did have one issue with key fob about 1 month after I bought it, but it was taken care of promptly and I was given a loaner while they fixed the issue. Other than that it has been perfect. I would definitely buy another given my experience so far.

2021 BMW X7 M50i 4dr SUV AWD (4.4L 8cyl Turbo 8A)
My BMW X7 M50i is, simply put, the best vehicle I've ever owned. Good-looking, well-built, capable and comfortable, it does all things well. I actually look for excuses to drive my X7. And as for the climate controls, I have no idea what Edmunds' reviewer is complaining about: I set the temperature controls upon delivery and haven't touched them since.

2020 BMW X7 xDrive40i 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)
What else can I say, I absolutely love this vehicle. First BMW I have ever owned. Have owned various SUV's in the past - Armada, MDX, Pilot, Xterra, Tahoe. Nothing compares to the X7. This vehicle has all of the bells and whistles, is plush, and luxurious. Nothing that I have experienced before. The X7 has plenty of power (even in the 40i). Completely satisfied. Completely sold … on BMW. I cannot see myself going in a different direction as far as car manufacturer in the future.

5 out of 5 starsJ. Stone, 03/09/2020
2020 BMW X7 M50i 4dr SUV AWD (4.4L 8cyl Turbo 8A)
I have a 2020 X7 M50i, which I ordered in December and picked up via Performance Center Delivery at the end of January (an experience I highly recommend, if you're able). We drove it home, which was an 1800-mile road trip, and have basically just been using it around town... other than a day trip up into the mountains. The X7 has performed flawlessly. It's amazingly quiet, the interior … is downright sumptuous and it's got more than enough power on tap. I purchased rather extensively optioned, and I have no regrets — by the way, if you're on the fence about the Dynamic Handling Package, get it. It does handle well, particularly given the size of the vehicle, and the integrated active steering (in which the rear wheels turn to help maneuverability and handling) is extremely helpful — particularly in parking lots.
No mechanical issues, no rattles, no software glitches (in fact, I've been surprised at how rock solid the wireless CarPlay feature has worked, considering the fairly regular problems I had with it in my 2017 540i). If there's one negative, it's fuel consumption... but I was aware of that before I ordered the vehicle, so I can't complain. On the trip home, I got about 26 MPG, which isn't bad. But on my last tank, which was 100% stop and go traffic around town, I only got a little over 13 MPG. But, hey, it's a heavy vehicle with a 523-hp V8 — can't expect miracles.
I love the X7. Very glad I got it, and I look forward to driving every time I step in.
We have a limited number of reviews for the 2022 BMW X7, so we've included reviews for other years of the X7 since its last redesign.
