Time flies when you consider that it’s been a few months since the next X7 was first spotted in testing. However, the debut of the Luxobarge is still a long way off. In fact, the official premiere isn’t even planned for next year. Production begins in August 2027, so BMW is expected to unveil it in late spring or early summer this year.
When the second generation is released, the G67 will move even further into the upper price range. According to a trusted insider on the Bimmer post According to forums, the next X7 will have automatic doors. The 7 Series G70 was the first BMW to feature the technology originally found at Rolls-Royce. They will of course be optional, while soft close doors will become standard across the range.
The new X7 is also expected to fix one of the G07’s biggest flaws. We’re talking about doing away with massaging and ventilated rear seats. It’s too early to say whether these features will be offered together or separately, but they’re unlikely to be standard on the entry-level trim.
There is also talk of a revised rear entertainment system, which suggests something more extensive than the current two tablet setup. BMW may be considering the 31.3-inch cinema screen from the 7 Series. That would be a logical step considering that even the long-wheelbase 5 Series sedan now has the oversized 8K display.
Depending on configuration, the next X7 will offer two- and three-row layouts, with the latter available in six- or seven-seat configurations. The ALPINA variant is expected to ditch the third row of seats altogether and may not even offer it as an option. Codenamed “G69” internally, it will essentially be a fully featured G67 with ALPINA-specific upgrades inside and out.
Before the next-generation X7 hits the market, at least two new SUVs will hit the market. BMW will present the new X5 in 2026, and the first iX4 could also appear. Both will be part of the revitalized Neue Klasse model range and will bring significant changes compared to today’s models.
