Performance & Specs.
At the heart of the 2026 BMW X7 is a trio of powertrain options, each engineered for performance, efficiency, and sophistication.
Under the hood of the X7 xDrive40i lies a 3.0-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo inline-six, paired with 48V mild-hybrid technology. This powerplant churns out 375 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque. An 8-speed sport automatic transmission channels power to all four wheels via BMW’s intelligent xDrive all-wheel-drive system, propelling the X7 from 0–60 mph in just 5.6 seconds. The result is an SUV that feels balanced, responsive, and confident in nearly any road condition, from city streets to winding mountain highways.
Step into the M60i and you’re entering performance territory. This variant boasts a 4.4-liter BMW M TwinPower Turbo V8, also enhanced by 48V mild-hybrid technology, delivering a formidable 523 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque. Acceleration from 0–60 mph takes only 4.5 seconds. Advanced M technologies such as the M Sport Differential, Adaptive M Suspension, and Integral Active Steering make the M60i equally thrilling on winding backroads and smooth highways. The M60i is ideal for drivers who want the capability of an SUV without sacrificing the heart-pounding excitement of a performance vehicle.
The ALPINA XB7 is BMW’s crowning achievement in SUV design and performance. Featuring an ALPINA-tuned 4.4-liter bi-turbo V8 engine, it produces 631 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. With a 0–60 mph time of just 3.9 seconds, this SUV rivals high-performance sports cars. ALPINA’s exclusive enhancements extend to the transmission, suspension, and cooling systems, ensuring composed high-speed cruising and confident handling. Tuned for high-speed stability and seamless comfort, the XB7 is more than just fast—it’s precision-engineered indulgence.
Capability.
The
2026 X7 doesn't just offer power; it's designed to handle real-world demands
with grace. When properly equipped, the X7 offers up to 7,500 lbs. of towing
capacity, easily accommodating boats, trailers, and more. Trailer-friendly
upgrades, including an available hitch and camera-based trailer assist systems,
improve towing confidence and control.
Advanced handling technologies such as the available Dynamic Handling Package and Active Comfort Drive with Road Preview work to 'read the road ahead', adjusting suspension settings in real time. These systems ensure the X7 feels as athletic and responsive as smaller vehicles-despite its full-size dimensions.
The xDrive system not only enhances traction in bad weather but also improves cornering dynamics, keeping the vehicle planted. Whether you're navigating snow-covered roads or soaking in sunshine on the highway, the X7 is built to deliver an engaging and secure drive across Knoxville, Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, and beyond.
Interior.
Standard on the xDrive40i is Sensafin upholstery, a premium leatherette offered in refined color options like Coffee, Silverstone, Cognac, and Black. The cabin provides generous seating for seven with a standard second-row bench or six with available Captain’s Chairs.
The M60i upgrades the environment with Extended Merino Leather, giving the interior a buttery-soft feel. Unique touches include Fineline Black Wood trim and an Anthracite Alcantara headliner, elevating the sense of sophistication. The available Glass Controls package adds visual drama with crystal-finished gear selector and iDrive controller.
Inside the ALPINA XB7, luxury is elevated even further. Nappa Leather seats with tailored stitching, ALPINA-exclusive touches such as velour carpeting and a LAVALINA leather-wrapped steering wheel create a truly premium environment. Front seats feature heating, ventilation, and massage functions, and five-zone automatic climate control ensures everyone is comfortable.
An expansive Panoramic Moonroof comes standard, while additional details like ambient interior lighting, soft-close doors, and power-operated rear side window shades contribute to the first-class experience.
Exterior.
The front fascia showcases BMW’s signature Illuminated Kidney Grille, standard on the M60i and ALPINA XB7, framed by slim, adaptive LED headlights. Choose from a rich color palette, including Marina Bay Blue Metallic, Brooklyn Grey, Dravit Grey, and the bespoke Frozen Pure Grey Metallic finish.
Wheels range from standard 21-inch to 22-inch M wheels. Roof rails, satin or Shadowline exterior trim, and an aerodynamic body kit (with the M Sport Package) reinforce the SUV’s muscular stance.
Other standout features include available Crystal Headlights, soft-close doors, a hands-free tailgate, and Shadowline accents, which add a stealthy aesthetic. The available M Sport Professional Package includes a sportier front bumper, high-gloss black accents, and upgraded braking systems to further define your X7's character.
Technology.
At the forefront of advanced tech is BMW’s Curved Display, combining a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster with a 14.9-inch infotainment screen powered by iDrive 8.5. The system supports intuitive voice commands, over-the-air updates, customizable widgets, and wireless smartphone integration. Access music, maps, vehicle controls, and more with just a tap or a spoken phrase.For audiophiles, the Harman Kardon Surround Sound System on the M60i or optional Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System on all trims brings concert-quality acoustics. Interior ambient lighting, customizable My Modes driving profiles, and augmented reality navigation elevate the cabin to futuristic levels.
