The new entry-level BMW X7 also comes via the CKD (completely knocked down) route, and it is powered by the existing 3.0-litre, in-line six-cylinder, twin-turbo diesel churning out 260 bhp and 620 Nm of peak torque. Transmission duties are handled by the same 8-Speed Steptronic Sport transmission.

The BMW X7 is currently offered in three trim options - X7 xDrive30d DPE, X7 xDrive30d DPE Signature, and X7 xDrive40i M Sport. In terms of features, the base trim borrows most of its offerings from the DPE Signature variant, with a few exceptions. For instance, instead of the BMW Laserlight headlamps, the SUV gets the Adaptive LED headlamps, and misses out on the BMW individual roof rails high-gloss shadow line, and soft-close function for doors. Also, instead of the 5-zone climate control, the SUV only gets 4-zone climate control, and the SUV doesn't get ventilated driver and passenger seats either.
