[Video] Is the BMW X7 M60i the best Luxury SUV Today?

The new BMW X7 M60i is the most potent, priciest, and opulent SUV that BMW has to offer right now. Recently, the interior and exterior of the BMW X7 M60i underwent a significant design update. Furthermore, this 2023 X7 M60i now features an engine produced by the BMW M Division. In other words, it comes fairly close to a BMW X7M.

To test a BMW X7 M60i in Aventurine Red, BMW enthusiasts travelled to Palm Springs for this review. They examined the car’s space, technology, and exterior and interior design. Naturally, they also put the BMW X7 M60i through twisty roads to test if it can handle them like an M vehicle.

This X7 packs a 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged V8 with 523hp and 553 lb-ft of torque. It’s a given for an M60i model to carry the new S68 engine. The X7 M50i’s outgoing N63 engine delivers the same amount of power, but this new engine is more refined, efficient, and technologically advanced. Additionally, it has much greater power capabilities than the N63 and even the S63 M variant. The addition of 48-volt mild-hybrid technology with additional power from an electric motor is also significant. This 48-volt mild hybrid motor can provide up to 147 lb-ft (200 Nm) of torque and 12 horsepower. Naturally, the 48-volt system aids in fuel savings and smoothing out the auto start/stop technology.

BMW claims that the M60i accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 4.7 seconds. Due to the engine’s Euro 6d rating, it should last for a long period. And the next BMW X5 and X6 Facelift variants will likely have the same engine. The BMW X7 needs to be an excellent long-distance vehicle rather than a track monster because it is a luxury SUV. As a result, BMW equipped the updated X7 variants with the best driver assistance technologies accessible. The BMW X7 facelift also made substantial improvements to the parking techniques. Lastly, the 200-meter driving range of the Reversing Assist Professional has increased (656 feet).
