The unmistakable front end of the car is dominated by an exceptionally large BMW kidney grille, framed on either side by LED head lights (optional BMW Laserlight is available, offering a high-beam range of up to 600m). The contemporary styling of the rear is emphasised by strong horisontal lines, slim LED lights, and the two-section split tailgate. 

Of course, the car's immense size also translates to ample room in the interior. The X7 comes standard with with three rows of seats, with the third row sporting two full-sized seats, making the X7 a true seven-seater. Customers can also specify a six-seater configuration, with the second row composed of two individual comfort seats. All seats can be electrically adjusted at the push of a button. 

The X7 comes with a three-part panoramic glass roof as standard. The Panorama Sky Lounge option for the glass roof features LED lighting spread evenly all across the panoramic glass roof, illuminating more than 15,000 graphic patterns to display something reminiscent of a starlit sky.

The sense of luxury in the cabin is also accentuated by carefully selected and meticulously crafted materials. The BMW X7 comes as standard with Vernasca leather trim, four-zone automatic climate control, and ambient lighting including the Welcome Light Carpet and Dynamic Interior Light. Among the highlights on the options list are five-zone automatic climate control, the Ambient Air package, controls with glass applications, the Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System, etc. 

Of course, the X7 also comes equipped with the latest generation BMW Live Cockpit Professional, which comprises a fully digital instrument cluster and a Control Display, both of which measure 12.3-inches. The BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant (IPA) included in the operating system presents the latest advances in the field of digital connectivity.
