Ordered new family SUV - X7
After a long trial phase of various modern SUVs, we decided to go for an X7 50d as the next family car.
We test drove the Cayenne V6 (felt dated and not agile), the Panamera Sport Tourismo Hybrid (felt sexy but had no space), the X5 3.0d (very agile, lots of fun, but no space), the Model X (lots of fun but terrible quality and simply no luxury inside), the G63 (would have been by optic and statement our favorite car but no semi-autonomous driving is just dated), the GLE 450 (great car but not enough space), the new GLS 450 (great car but even longer than the X7, and also not much as sporty as the X7 / no rear-wheel steering).
So - looking forward to a fully equipped X7 as family transporter. Only option I didn't order was the Captain Seats (6-seater) on the rear (simply as you can't fold them flat). Other than that its a full car with all Gizmo's and Lux. I like that BMW adds you to the Excellence Club and treats you as a Seven-Client. I also liked that the car has all modern assistants and due to the rear-wheel steering, it really feels agile and fun to drive while the Magic Carpet (Executive Drive Pro) adds comfort. The semi-autonomous driving works flawless and the engine as lots of torque and power with a long-range per tank. And the leather, interior quality is on a Bentley Level. What more can you ask for?
Delivery is hopefully mid of Jan. Will keep you posted!
