The BMW X7 is arguably the most eagerly-anticipated
vehicle currently being developed by the German carmaker and when it launches,
is almost guaranteed to sell in considerable numbers. BMW has been testing X7
prototypes for well over a year and Carscoops reader Krystian Granatowski
recently snapped some images of one on a highway near Munich.
As with previous prototypes scooped testing in
recent months, this example is bathed in white and black camouflage that hides
most of its key design traits. In fact, all we can ascertain from the images is
that the X7 will feature a huge kidney front grille, roof rails, black wheel
arches, and large rectangular tailpipes.
Beneath the skin, the X7 utilizes BMW’s CLAR
platform, already in use with the latest-generation 5- and 7-Series. A host of
petrol and diesel engines in six- and eight-cylinder configurations are widely
expected, as is a plug-in hybrid with a four-cylinder.
BMW
confirmed last year that the X7 will be built in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
The SUV should hit the streets as a 2019MY.
