The New Generation of the BMW X7 Has Just Landed in Brazil, and the Canaltech Team Had the Opportunity to Test the 7-Seater SUV Firsthand. The Impressive Capabilities of the 530hp V8 Were Fully Felt During the Track Test.
Are You Satisfied with the First Impressions of the X7? The Latest Model of the Seven-Seater Sports Utility Vehicle Is Already Available at the Company’s Dealerships, in Just One Version. The Price? Consistent with a Vehicle Classified by Business People as ‘Super Premium’: R$ 1,154,950.
According to the Executive, the Mechanism That Enables the Rear Wheels’ Movement Also Made the 7-Seater Sports Utility Vehicle Safer for Driving on Rugged Terrain and the Track. “It’s Ideal for Off-Road Due to Damaged and Uneven Terrains. On the Track, the Concept Is Similar,” He Said.
It Wasn’t Designed Only for Off-Road. The X7 Has This Characteristic. The xDrive System from BMW Differs Slightly from Conventional All-Wheel Drive. Each Axle Acts on One Wheel Independently to Compensate for a Possible Loss of Stability. It Makes Corrections If You Don’t Enter a Curve Well, for Example.

New Performance of the BMW X7: Power and Safety
In Straight Sections, as Anticipated, the Recent V8 Engine Emits a Loud Sound and Causes a Butterflies-in-the-Stomach Sensation. However, When Taking Curves, It’s Quite Noticeable That, If It Weren’t for the Sophisticated Stability and Traction Systems, a Slight Extra Touch on the Accelerator Could Turn the Fun into a Setback in Seconds.
The Brand’s Product and Pricing Manager, Tiago Yoshitake, Had a Conversation with the Canaltech Team After the Brief Test Drive on the Circuit and Clearly Explained the Reasons Behind the BMW X7‘s Safe Behavior on the Track.
Like All Sports Utility Vehicles, the X7 Wasn’t Designed to Be a High-Performance Vehicle, and It’s Easy to Conceive That the Dynamic Behavior of a Car Weighing 2,469 kg and Measuring 5,164 mm in Length x 2,000 mm in Width x 1,796 mm in Height x 3,105 mm in Wheelbase Is Distinct from Conventional Sports Cars.
However, the Advanced Electronic and Technological Systems Present in the Numerous Driver Assistance Devices Incorporated in the New Version of the BMW X7 Provided Extra Help to Keep the Vehicle Sufficiently Stable in Curves, Making Driving Safe and, **Why Not Say**, Exciting.
The Experience of Driving This Impressive Vehicle from the BMW Brand on the Track at the Racetrack of the Fazenda Capuava Was, at the Very Least, Singular. And That’s Exactly What the Technology Site Canaltech Will Share with You From Now On.
In a Quite Illustrative Way, It Can Be Said That the BMW X7 M60i Was Not in Its Natural Environment When Subjected to Intense Accelerations on a Racing Track. However, Don’t Be Fooled. The Large and Heavy 7-Seater SUV Did Not Disappoint. Quite the Contrary.
Despite This, It Was Possible to Experience the Full Power of the New S68 Engine, a V8 TwinPower Turbo Mild Hybrid, Which Dispenses with the Use of an Alternator by Having an Electric Motor and a 48-Volt Battery.
The 530 Horsepower and 76.5 kgf/m of Torque from the 4.4-Liter Engine of the SUV, Which Also Features an 8-Speed Automatic Transmission, Intelligent All-Wheel Drive xDrive, and Adjustable Air Suspension, Made the BMW X7 M60i an Extremely Aggressive Car. **This Performance Was Quite Impressive During the Test Drive**.
New Features of the BMW X7 Introduced in Indaiatuba
The Next Version of the BMW X7 Was Launched Impressively, as the Popular Saying Goes. When Introduced to the Brazilian Market in Indaiatuba, a City Near Campinas in the Interior of São Paulo, the Renewed 7-Seater SUV Was Immediately Subjected to Rigorous Testing.
The Canaltech Team Received an Invitation to Test the Vehicle on the Winding Track of the Fazenda Capuava, Which Was Carefully Designed to Slow Down the Circuit and Prevent Journalists from Going Too Fast.
