BMW unveils the 2023 X7, refreshing their top-of-the-line deluxe SUV. What’s new? New face, cleaner interior, and more German horsepower than ever.
As we’ve all been waiting for, BMW’s big-boy three-row SUV gets a cool refresh for 2023. Most notably, with a bold new front end, which, I’ll have to admit, it’s quite mean lookin’. But well, it’s not like BMW is any slouch when it comes to showing off audacious designs – Take a look at their massive Kidney Grille for instance, which surely received a reception of mixed feelings upon debut but today, it’s the signature. And it’s slowly-yet-unapologetically taking over their entire catalog. Today, the 2023 X7’s new headlights is seemingly the next big thing,. Plus, tons of new fancy interior tech, a hefty V8, and a cool new colour scheme, all come included. Here’s all about it.
