2 Answers
BMW offers two seven-seater models: the BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer and the BMW X7, both featuring a seven-seat layout. The BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer has an exterior design resembling an MPV, with body dimensions measuring 4580mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1662mm in height, along with a wheelbase of 2780mm. The BMW X7 is a large SUV introduced by BMW, with body dimensions of 5163mm in length, 2000mm in width, and 1835mm in height, and a wheelbase of 3105mm. In terms of powertrain, the BMW X7 is equipped with either a 3.0T turbocharged engine or a 4.0T twin-turbocharged engine. The 3.0T turbocharged engine delivers a maximum power of 250kW and a maximum torque of 450Nm, while the 4.0T twin-turbocharged engine produces a maximum power of 390kW and a maximum torque of 750Nm.
As a father of two, I've always been interested in seven-seater options. BMW's seven-seaters mainly come in SUV and MPV categories. I recommend the BMW X7, which is the flagship SUV with spacious third-row seating that comfortably accommodates both children and adults. The trunk can easily fit two or three pieces of luggage. For daily school runs, the heated and ventilated seats ensure comfort in both winter and summer. The entertainment system with screens can keep kids quiet by playing cartoons when they get restless. Safety features like automatic emergency braking and blind spot monitoring are practical - they once saved me from a potential collision during rainy weather. Fuel consumption is around 13-15L in the city and drops to about 9L on highways, which isn't the most economical but better than competitors in its class. Maintenance at authorized 4S shops is slightly more expensive but hassle-free. Another option is the BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer, a seven-seat MPV with flexible space popular in Europe, though rarely introduced in China - you might find it in the used car market or through parallel imports. Overall, the X7 is ideal for luxurious family trips and should be the priority if budget allows.
