If you like the X5, then you'll be happy. If not, well...
If you're not a fan of the BMW X5 or even the smaller X3, chances are the upcoming X7 won't get you all that excited. And that's ok, but for those who like German SUVs, this new BMW flagship will be quite something in terms of both luxury and performance. Details are deliberately being kept secret by BMW for now, but we do know that the X7 will likely be built in South Carolina alongside the X6 and other popular models.
What's more, the X7 will feature three rows of seating and will be packed with all of the latest technology gizmos buyers of this class can expect. Competition wise, it'll face off directly against the likes of the Mercedes GL and Audi Q7, of which the latter is also due for a complete redesign in the near future. Aside from recent spy shots, rendering artist Theophilus Chin has just come up with his vision as to what the production X7 could look like. And, not surprisingly, it looks like a larger X5. Again, if you like BMW SUVs, then you'll be pleased.
