Welcome to a MASSIVE radiator grille, and the SUV to which it"s attached. Ostensibly for the American market, we suspect, the BMW X7 is designed to compete with the full-fat Range Rover and Mercedes GLS. But at 5,151mm long, 2,000mm wide (how much of that is the grille?!) and 1,805mm tall, the seven-seater isn"t just BMW"s biggest-ever SUV, it could well be Britain"s, too. It"s longer, wider and taller than a Range Rover, which is just about the biggest car you can get away with in the UK. Gulp. At least it"ll have lots of space inside, though. We"re promised you can fit adults in each of the seven seats (a six-seat configuration can be specified, with three rows of two seats each), all of which are folded/unfolded electronically. With all the seats up you get 326-litres of boot space, or a van-like 2,120-litres with the two rear-most rows folded flat. A three-part glass roof illuminates proceedings, while standard air-suspension keeps things level, no matter how much weight you stick back there.
