BMW is going upscale with its first 3-row EV, the iX7

BMW’s next electric SUV won’t just be bigger. The iX7 will sit at the top of the brand’s EV lineup when it debuts in 2027, bringing a more luxurious option to the mix.

After the new X5 and iX5, the X7, BMW’s biggest SUV, is due for a Neue Klasse overhaul. BMW said the second-generation X7 will arrive in 2027, including the first fully electric version, the iX7.

Ahead of its upcoming debut, camouflaged prototypes have been spotted testing, revealing a few design changes.

Although it won’t fully adopt BMW’s Neue Klasse design, like the iX3, the three-row SUV appears to feature a slimmer, more upright Kidney Grille instead of the traditional wide BMW Grille.

The iX7 also swaps conventional pull-style door handles for small handles on the vehicle’s pillar. It also retains split headlights rather than the updated Neue Klasse-style headlights on the iX3 (shown below on the right).

While BMW has yet to reveal details, a Reddit user who claims to work at BMW’s factory in South Carolina and has seen the second-generation X7 shared a few new details.

Like the X5 and iX5, the new X7 and iX7 will retain a more traditional design rather than going full-on Neue Klasse, including the Kidney Grille. The user also said BMW is dropping the split tailgate, which it did with the new X5, in favor of a standard one-piece tailgate.

Inside, the dashboard and center console are similar to the new X5, but with upgraded tech and features from the new 7 Series sedan.
