New BMW X7 2020 pricing and specs detailed: Mercedes-Benz GLS rival gets dearer again

The X7 has been given its second price rise in a month.

BMW Australia has tweaked the pricing of the X7 upper-large SUV for the second time in a month. This time around, it has jumped by up to $5000.

As before, all X7 variants carry over, but the entry-level xDrive30d is $5000 dearer than before, at $133,900 plus on-road costs, while the flagship M50i has risen $4000, to $179,900 (see full pricing table below).

Last month’s X7 price increase was $4000 across the board. For reference, the xDrive30d launched in March last year at $119,900, while the M50i’s predecessor, the 294kW/760Nm 3.0-litre quad-turbo inline six-cylinder diesel M50d, cost $168,900.

Speaking to CarsGuide, a BMW Australia spokesperson confirmed once again no changes have been made to standard specification, as the company “constantly reviews its pricing structure, factoring in the exchange rate, inflation and changes to material costs”.

The xDrive30d is motivated by a 195kW/620Nm 3.0-litre turbo-diesel inline six-cylinder engine, while the M50i powers up with a 390kW/750Nm 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol unit.

Justin’s dad chose to miss his birth because he wanted to watch Peter Brock hopefully win Bathurst, so it figures Justin grew up to have a car obsession, too – and don’t worry, his dad did turn up in time after some stern words from his mum. That said, despite loving cars and writing, Justin chose to pursue career paths that didn’t lend themselves to automotive journalism, before eventually ending up working as a computer technician. But that car itch just couldn’t be scratched by his chipped Volkswagen Golf R (Mk7), so he finally decided to give into the inevitable and study a Master of Journalism at the same time. And even with the long odds, Justin was lucky enough to land a full-time job as a motoring journalist soon after graduating and the rest, as they say, is history. These days, Justin happily finds himself working at CarsGuide during the biggest period of change yet for the automotive industry, which is perhaps the most exciting part of all. In case you’re wondering, Justin begrudgingly sold the Golf R (sans chip) and still has plans to buy his dream car, an E46 BMW M3 coupe (manual, of course), but he is in desperate need of a second car space – or maybe a third.
