2022 BMW X7 brings new design, engines and tech | Cars and motors

Inside, the hooded instrument panel and central display make way for a new curved display that’s similar in look to that in the new BMW iX. It combines a 12.3in display for the instruments and a 14.9in display for the infotainment functions in a single unit offering touch control and running BMW’s eighth-generation operating system.

A modified dashboard also receives new ventilation units and switchgear as well as a light band with X7 graphics.

Lower down, there’s a new gear selector and iDrive controller within a revised centre console.

Buyers can continue to choose a six-seat or seven-seat layout. New upholstery options are also offered.

Central among the changes to the X7’s engine line-up is the introduction of BMW’s latest turbocharged 3.0-litre straight-six petrol and diesel engines.

Each engine receives new 48V mild-hybrid properties via a crankshaft-mounted starter-generator integrated into the front section of the standard eight-speed automatic gearbox, endowing them with electric boosting for added performance and engine-off coasting functionality for improvements in overall efficiency.

The output of the B58 petrol engine has increased by 50bhp and 52lb ft, giving the xDrive40i 375bhp and 398lb ft of torque.
