One of the cars some people are patiently waiting for from BMW this year is the brand new X7. The biggest SUV the company ever designed is scheduled for a launch later in 2018 or, as the BMW CEO Harald Kruger calls it: ‘the year of the X’. The new X7 will then fill a niche above the X5, one that is currently dominate by the Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class. Offering more room and more luxury than the X5, the 7-seater is slated to be quite popular for those who love the X5 but need more space for whatever reason.
While we’re waiting for the G07 X7 to be launched, the Germans are teasing us with all sorts of videos and photos of the car, all under wraps. The latest teaser comes in the shape of a video, showing a pre-production prototype on the assembly line in Spartanburg, South Carolina. That’s where the car will be built, despite the recent trade war that was ignited between China and the USA and that’s definitely not great news for BMW as Chinese fans of the brand are expected to make up a large portion of the customers for the X7.
In the footage below we get some very short glimpses at how the design of the production car will shape up. For a couple of milliseconds we can spot the taillights of the car as well as the front kidney grille, front bumper and headlights. The shape of the body can also be distinguished but unfortunately that’s about it for now, as the footage was carefully edited not to disclose too much. In the end we get to see a camouflaged prototype leave the factory, leaving us yearning for more.
The new X7 is bound to share its underpinnings with the new X5 and upcoming X6 but it will be more luxurious than both inside. The cabin will feature the best materials BMW has to offer, on par with the 7 Series and it will be the roomiest car on offer. With a full 7-seat arrangement, it is bound to give the GLS a run for its money but the wait is just killing us right now, especially since everyone’s wondering just how big the kidney grilles will be in real life.
When its almost unanimously accepted fact that the X7’s grille is its least flattering aesthetic bit then why to put attention on it everytime?
They dont care, lots of hippie designers in BMW lately.
They should. Personally, i have lots of hopes from Joseph Kaban. But i am not sure which car would be the first one that will be done from scratch by him.
It is the single most distinctive, identifiable design feature of a new model in a new segment for BMW, and, as your multiple negative 8 Series comments make clear (while not having actually seen one), you are neither objective nor an authority on aesthetics.
Ahhh, its so good to see you boiling like a potato on my every comment.
Be prepared for more. You are the one who provide entertainment to all of us here.
No boiling, no potato. I come here to learn, your unsubstantiated keyboard opinions are the opposite of that so occasionally I try to inject some reality. I know it’s futile. BMW are smarter than you so I come here to read about them. Speaking of boiling potatoes, you haven’t seen an 8 & X7 hasn’t been unveiled. But by all means keep typing, credibility is unnecessary.
Lol, keep going. Pl. do !! :D
So from unsubstantiated to unrelated. Congratulations.
Was that the upcoming X6 that was shown just before the X7 was dropped off the assembly line?
Can’t wait for it to be finally unveiled.
