Serving Greenville, SC

If you're shopping for a full-size luxury SUV in the Greenville, SC area, the BMW X7 continues to impress with refined craftsmanship, athletic performance, and cutting-edge technology. Whether you're eyeing the brand-new 2026 BMW X7 or considering the well-equipped 2025 model, both SUVs deliver an exceptional driving experience. But what's changed between the two model years, and which one is right for your lifestyle in Upstate South Carolina?

Performance

Both model years offer the same powerful trim options, the xDrive40i and the M60i. The xDrive40i features a 375-horsepower 3.0L turbocharged inline-six engine, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and xDrive all-wheel drive. A self-leveling air suspension ensures a smooth ride whether you're navigating Greenville's downtown streets or heading out toward the mountains.

The M60i delivers a thrilling 523-horsepower via a 4.4L twin-turbo V8 engine. It's enhanced with rear-wheel steering, sport brakes, and a sport differential—ideal for performance enthusiasts who want a more dynamic edge.

Appearance

Design-wise, the 2025 and 2026 BMW X7 share the same bold styling that commands attention around Greenville. Each model features an illuminated kidney grille, sculpted body lines, LED lighting, and available 23-inch wheels. One small update for 2026 is that the Ametrin Red Metallic paint has been discontinued. Both models include a dual-section power tailgate, aerodynamic accents, and a presence that fits right in whether you're parked at Falls Park or cruising on I-85.

Features

Inside the cabin, both the 2025 and 2026 BMW X7 offer an upscale, tech-rich environment built for families and professionals alike. Shared luxury features include multi-contour heated and ventilated seats, optional massaging front seats, soft-close doors, and premium material options from Sensafin to genuine leather.

Both models offer four- or five-zone automatic climate control, climate-controlled cup holders, and a 14.9-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. The main change in 2026 is the removal of gesture control—a feature some drivers may not miss.
