The 7X Long Range might just be the sweet spot in the family, serving up the longest driving range and enough real-world power for everyday driving. Sure, its ride isn't as competent as it is on the AWD's air suspension, but sacrifices must be made somewhere.

It's $63,900 – almost $10K less than the flagship Performance grade – and it builds on the strong standard kit of the entry-level model with a better 21-speaker stereo and a head-up display.

While the cheapest 7X variant scores a 75kWh LFP battery, this Long Range nabs a 100kWh NCM unit. It has an 800V architecture, allowing for mega charging speeds of up to 420kW and it should travel up to 615km between charges on the WLTP cycle.
