2025 BMW X7

There are lots of choices among the cheaper-to-buy-and-drive mid-size SUVs that, when properly configured, can safely tow at least 5,000 pounds.

Shopping for a three-row SUV means balancing priorities of seat quantity versus comfort. If the number of seats trump all, many three-row SUVs offer a second-row bench, but other models give up the second-row middle seat for captain’s chairs.

As is its recent spring custom, BMW has announced a smattering of minor updates across its lineup, including improved range for its all-electric i5 sedan.

Revised just two model years ago, the three-row BMW X7 SUV is mostly unchanged for the 2025 model year.
