Refreshed CKD BMW X7 in Pure Excellence trim is yours for RM655K


PETALING JAYA: The BMW X7, extensively refined in the latest update, has arrived in CKD form.

The refreshed X7 xDrive40i Pure Excellence is priced at RM654,800 (on-the-road without insurance). Price also includes extended five-year, unlimited-mileage warranty and 5 years' free servicing.

The new X7 sports the latest-generation iDrive control/operation system including BMW Curved Display and BMW Operating System 8.

It also comes with a further expanded range of standard equipment, additional driver assistance systems and the latest 48V mild hybrid technology for the six-pot engine.

The newly structured front end picks up on signature BMW design cues such as the twin headlights and BMW kidney grille. In their newly interpreted form, these features emphasise the car’s upright stance and reinforce its road presence.

Split headlight units are making their debut in the new X7. The horizontal LED light elements set higher up in the front end house the position light, daytime driving lights and turn signal indicators.

The LED units located below them for the low-beam and high-beam headlights give the impression of retreating into the background with their dark housing and deeply embedded position in the front apron, and only come to the fore when activated.

The new adaptive matrix LED headlights with non-dazzling high beam and adaptive light distribution now also provide the functionality of front fog lights with their automatic bad weather light.

At the rear end, the slim light units, which now have three-dimensional sculpting, is accentuated. The elegant chrome bar connecting the rear light units on the new X7 is enclosed within a glass cover.

The interior is set up for six people with mid-row comprising two Captain seats. It also introduces "Lindenwood Fineline" fine wood trim and M Headliner Alcantara, and retains the panoramic roof of the previous X7.

The cabin can also be specified in either Sensafin Cognac or Sensafin Black colour scheme.

At 375hp/520Nm, the 3.0-litre turbocharged inline-six cylinder mill has been tweaked to produce an extra 47hp/70Nm.

The century sprint is achieved in 5.8s and the X7 can continue on to a top speed of 245kph.

X7 excellence

The engine's 48V mild hybrid technology consists of a crankshaft-mounted starter generator integrated into the transmission and contributes an extra 9 kW/12 hp of output and an extra 200Nm of torque.

Power goes to both axles through an eight-speed Steptronic Sport transmission including shift paddles on the steering wheel.

Engine power is channelled to the road – or unsurfaced terrain, if required – via the intelligent all-wheel-drive system BMW xDrive.

The chassis has been retuned for the new X7 to enable it to span the widest possible spectrum between sporty handling and driving comfort.

Rear-wheel steering and active roll stabilisation are standard as are 22-inch alloy wheels.
