Just over three years after its introduction, the BMW X7 has had a complete midlife update with a redesigned front end and overhauled technology suite, plus the addition of a mild-hybrid option, said Autocar.
All three powertrains feature four-wheel drive, and all have self-levelling air suspension combined with adaptive damping for controlled comfort, said The Sunday Times.
