The 2018 BMW X7 Will Be 'Much More Than A Long X5'
The 2018 BMW X7 Will Be 'Much More Than A Long X5'-August 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:16

Sources say a bigger BMW SUV than we’ve ever seen is due in 2018, with an ultralux version in the works as well.

At this year’s New York Auto Show, BMW AG Sales and Marketing Director Ian Robertson told British car site that the X7 SUV “won’t arrive this year or next, but it’s well through the development phases,” adding “there’s very little resemblance to the X5, so it’s not an extended wheelbase X5. It’s very different—we wanted it to have its own identity.”

The car is coming, one way or another. But publicly-released details have been extremely sparse. “We will be broadening our model range with the BMW X7,” BMW CEO Harald Krüger said in a earlier this month. “We are also taking an in-depth look at the additional potential of this highly attractive segment.”

Meanwhile, Robertson also told that it will actually come in two flavors: the standard seven-seat model, and a more “premium” four-seat model with a $100,000-ish price tag and “a distinct look.”

Sounds like it’s basically going to be a longroof 7-Series with a little extra ground clearance. In which case, awesome.

BMW has been bringing us some amazing cars in the road performance vein with the M2 and i8, it will be great to see what their idea of a maximized luxury utility vehicle looks like.

Luxury SUV buyers, rejoice!

A giant one, but a station wagon nevertheless. What a bold move! The 2016 Audi Q7 is also 716.5 pounds lighter than its predecessor and will be available as a diesel plug-in hybrid with quattro all-wheel drive as well. Just look at that! Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, my favorite guy...

SUVs Will Come Full Circle And Be Wagons Again Soon
At every prodigal SUV and crossover launch this year I was told about the same things: "sportiness," and "car-like qualities." Now that we've seen the , I'm almost convinced automakers are going to make SUVs sleeker and sleeker until they just turn into wagons again. There was a time when...
