The X7, as you are well aware, will go official sometime in 2018 for the 2019 model year. Prototypes are already in the pre-production phase, so it's just a matter of waiting from here on in. But before the big day comes, the BMW Concept X7 iPerformance will have to make do with peculiar styling and big kidney grilles.
Just look at the size of those things! Not only do they give Audi a run for its money, but the concept’s kidney grilles are also squared off and dressed in chrome, as if the car wants you to look at how bling-bling it is. In a way, the automaker decided to imbue the X7 with opulence for a good reason.
“The status of the BMW Concept X7 iPerformance as a luxury-class BMW SAV is instantly apparent,” we’re told, which is the fancy way to say the Munich-headquartered automaker is going upmarket. From the side profile, the hockey stick-like trim is a visual influence that comes courtesy of the 7 Series and 5 Series. The rear, on the other hand, appears uncannily upright in comparison to other X models. For all that, the one-off looks best when viewed from above, revealing a moonroof flourished with a Y-shaped divider.
Moving on to the cabin, here you’ll find 7 seats with genuinely luxurious appointments, some bits and bobs borrowed from the beguiling Concept 8 Series, as well as a minimalist approach to the dashboard design. Focused and high-tech are the words that best describe what’s on the inside, and all in all, we wouldn’t have BMW most expensive sport activity vehicle any other way.
If the charging port door isn’t enough of a giveaway, the iPerformance in the concept’s name denotes what hides under the skin of the X7. It’s a plug-in hybrid powertrain that relies on an unspecified turbocharged engine. Of course, the X7 will be available in ICE-only and turbo diesel flavors too. On the subject of production, the BMW plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina will make the X7 happen for all markets where the gentle giant will be sold.
