We found the six-cylinder model to be torquey and quiet- CarAndDriver
The BMW X7 is going to continue with the same powertrain 3.0L turbocharged inline-6 engine that makes 335 hp and 332 lb-ft. of torque. It is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission that is very civilized and unflustered. The standard xDrive AWD system includes various off-road drive modes. The engine supplies plenty of power for daily activities. When fully equipped, the X7 can tow up to 7,500 pounds.
The X7 is a true BMW that is to say a real driver's car. It has the kind of agility, balance, and handling that you'd expect from a more compact car. There is no body roll and the car corners impeccably for an SUV, especially of this size. Given the car's huge proportions, the handling is just unbelievable. The ride quality is also phenomenal. It glides over broken roads smoothly to deliver a comfortable experience.
On an open road, the X7 takes its time to accelerate due to its 5,392-pound curb weight. Still, it provides linear acceleration and takes 6.2 seconds to complete the 0-60 MPH sprint while the quarter-mile time taken is 14.7 seconds. The top speed can range up to 155 MPH. When it comes to braking, the X7 defies its heavyweight and achieves a braking distance of 105 feet thanks to its strong ventilated disc brakes.

The Audi Q7 surprises with its quick agility due to its low curb weight. The Volvo XC90 was intended to be a comfortable cruiser rather than an agile machine. Hence, its acceleration is slower. Owing to its powerful engine, the Mercedes-Benz GLS 450's acceleration is great for a 5,467-pound SUV but it is heavily priced.
