The 2023 BMW X7 has made its worldwide premiere and is expected to hit the market in August 2022. The top-of-the-line SUV from the Bavarian automaker now features a refreshed design, larger alloy wheels and engines with 48V mild-hybrid technology. For now, BMW currently offers four X7 trims in India that are priced between Rs 1.18 crore and Rs 1.78 crore (ex-showroom).
Major changes have been made to the front end of this new X7 facelift. The LED running lights are located on the hood line, while the original headlights are located on the underside of the vehicle’s bumper. This is a change from the single-unit headlight design that BMW has used in its previous vehicles in recent years.
On top of that, the xDrive40i model gets new shiny silver trim on the lower fascia, while the kidney grille has been redesigned with darker slats and bright chrome surround, which also has an ‘M’ badge on the corner.

The second engine is a twin-turbocharged 4.4-litre V8 that makes 530 PS of power and 749 Nm of torque with this engine, the 2023 BMW X7 SUV is capable of doing 0-100 km/h in 4.5 seconds. Both the 3.0-litre engine and the 4.4-litre engine are mated to an 8-speed Steptronic sport transmission with paddle shifters.
