Standing tall above every other BMW crossover is the three-row X7 with seating for up to seven. This vehicle has a six-figure base price and comes standard with a turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine. The sportier alternative is a turbocharged 4.4-litre V8 available with two different output levels: 523 horsepower (M50i) or 612 horsepower (Alpina XB7). When compared with many of its rivals, the X7 offers limited cargo capacity.
