Custom BMW X7 2025 Limousine | Big Limos Luxury SUV Builds

The 2025 BMW X7 lineup features three distinct trim levels that appeal to different luxury SUV buyers.

Trim Levels and Performance

Starting at $86,700, the entry-level xDrive40i comes with a 3.0L BMW TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder engine that delivers 375 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque. The performance-focused M60i costs $110,900 and packs a more powerful 4.4L V8 engine producing 523 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque. BMW’s top-tier Alpina XB7 commands $152,400 and boasts a specially tuned 4.4L bi-turbo V8 that generates an impressive 631 horsepower.

Fuel Economy

The X7’s fuel economy numbers vary significantly between models:
xDrive40i: 21 city / 25 highway / 22 combined MPG
M60i: 16 city / 21 highway / 18 combined MPG

Interior Space and Capacity

This luxury SUV’s three-row configuration accommodates up to seven passengers comfortably. The X7’s interior dimensions provide ample space with:
Headroom (front/second/third): 41.9 / 39.9 / 36.6 inches
Cargo space: 90.4 cu ft (behind first row), 48.6 cu ft (behind second), 12.8 cu ft (behind third)

Drivetrain and Towing Capacity

Every X7 model comes standard with xDrive all-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic transmission. The SUV’s towing capacity reaches 7,500 pounds when equipped with the factory-installed trailer hitch.

Cutting-Edge Technology

The 2025 BMW X7 showcases a technological marvel with its BMW Operating System 8.5, seamlessly integrated with the BMW Curved Display setup. A 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster pairs with a 14.9-inch central information display, accessible via touch, rotary controller, or gesture controls.

Advanced Driver Assistance Features

BMW’s Driving Assistance Professional Package enhances the driving experience significantly. The Highway Assistant with Active Lane Change enables hands-free driving at speeds up to 85 mph. The 2025 model also introduces an innovative eye-activated lane change feature — drivers can approve suggested lane changes with a simple glance at their side-view mirror.

Comfort and Interior Enhancements

The X7’s comfort features stand out. Front seats offer 8 massage programs with three intensity levels each. The optional 5-zone climate control allows every passenger to choose their ideal temperature. Heated and cooled cupholders keep drinks perfectly tempered during long trips.

Premium Audio and Smart Convenience

Music lovers will appreciate the 16-speaker Harman Kardon surround sound system with 464 watts of power. For audiophiles, the Bowers & Wilkins Diamond system delivers 1,965 watts through 36 speakers. The Back-up Assistant records up to 164 feet of your driving path to help you reverse automatically. You can also start your engine remotely using the My BMW App.

My experience with both vehicles revealed clear differences between the 2025 BMW X7 and Mercedes GLS. The GLS offers slightly better second-row legroom at 41.9 inches compared to the X7’s 37.6 inches. However, the X7’s thoughtful design elements make it more enjoyable overall.

Ease of Access and Practical Design

The X7’s Easy Entry system moves second-row seats forward with a single button press — a major improvement over the GLS’s slower electric seat setup that “would try the patience of a geologist.” The split tailgate design also helps secure items on slopes, and the air suspension lowering feature makes loading easier.

Cargo and Storage Capacity

While the GLS starts strong with 17.4 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row (compared to the X7’s 12.8 cubic feet), the X7 ultimately wins in total capacity, offering 90.4 cubic feet when all rear seats are folded down.

Passenger Comfort and Climate Control

The X7’s third-row amenities stand out — passengers enjoy overhead climate controls, a mini sunroof, and electric seat adjustments. Its four-zone climate system regulates temperature more effectively than the GLS, keeping every passenger comfortable on long family trips.

Final Verdict

These practical advantages — from smart design to superior comfort — ultimately convinced me to trade the GLS for the X7.

My choice between the Mercedes GLS and 2025 BMW X7 was easier than expected after driving both. The GLS has slightly more second-row space, but the X7 wins in areas that matter most for family needs.

BMW’s X7 is their best SUV yet. The split tailgate keeps groceries secure on hills, and the third-row features show BMW’s focus on real-life use. The one-touch Easy Entry system is far better than the GLS’s slow electric seats.

Raw numbers don’t tell the story. The 375-hp six-cylinder delivers strong acceleration, while the M60i’s V8 adds real power. What sealed it for me was how the X7 blends performance with smart tech. The curved display with BMW’s new OS is easy to use, and the eye-activated lane change is genuinely innovative.

My family loves the X7 — that’s what matters most. The third-row gets climate controls and a mini sunroof, while the four-zone climate system keeps everyone comfortable. The $120,000 price tag feels justified by its thoughtful design and features.
