BMW has officially launched the facelifted X7 for the Indian market. Prices start from INR 1.22 crore for the xDrive40i petrol and go all the way up to INR 1.25 crore for the xDrive40d diesel version. Both versions also get the M Sport package as standard.
BMW has added some updates for the X7 for the 2023 model year. The SUV now gets a minor nip and tuck. But it retains the split headlamp design for this time. The SUV now gets a large chrome kidney grille at the front, flanked by LED daytime running lights, with the main headlamp cluster, positioned just below it. The front bumper sees some design changes as well. It now gets triangular air intakes. Meanwhile, for the rear, we see sleek wraparound LED tail lights and twin exhausts.
On the inside, the 2023 BMW X7 gets the freestanding BMW Curved Display. It consists of a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with the iDrive 8 operating system. Other key features include a panoramic sunroof, 4-zone automatic climate control, ambient lighting, adaptive air suspension, head-up display, and ADAS.
The X7 for the Indian market is available with two engine options both equipped with mild-hybrid tech. First is the 3.0-litre, 6-cylinder petrol engine that makes 375 BHP @ 5,200-6,250 rpm and 520 Nm @ 1,850-5,000 rpm.
