The X7 is aimed at wealthy families looking for a large, high-presence luxury SUV. Unlike the smaller X1, X3 and X5, it does not offer a coupe-like variant. The base model features a twin-turbo 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder engine that produces 375 horsepower, while the sportier X7 M60i benefits from a twin-turbo 4.4-litre V8 generating 523 horsepower and boosting performance. Let’s not forget the exclusive Alpina XB7, which is even more luxurious and more powerful (631 hp).
