We have already met BMW`s most prestigious SUV – the brand-new 2017 X7 – in both exterior and interior disguises, revealing as well the car`s technology and the latest gadgetries. Now it is the engine lineup and safety systems that need to be explained.
So let`s start with the safety systems, which on the new X7 a lot come as standard, while others can also be had as optional.
Just like most of the company`s new models, the 2019 BMW X7 as well benefits from the same high-end treatment. It comes accessorized with the Active Protection & Active Driving Assistant system which includes features like Lane Departure Warning, Frontal Collision Warning, Blind Spot Detection, Rear Collision Warning, Pedestrian Warning with City Collision Mitigation, Speed Limit Information and Cross Traffic Alert Rear.
Optionally, you can also get the Active Driving Assistant Professional system with Extended Traffic Jam Assistant and Active Lane Keeping Assistant. More than that, BMW is also offering a Parking Assistant Plus package with Panorama View and 3D View, or Top View.
With the abundance of the high-end safety features in the right place, we are now heading under the hood to discover what BMW brings fresh in terms of performance, torque, or fuel economy.
