#BMW may have been late to the big SUV party, but they certainly made a huge splash when the #BMWX7 was introduced last year. About 10 inches longer than an X5, the 2020 #X7 has the luxury, space, tech, and presence that you come to expect from a flagship model, all while being more fun-to-drive than most of the competition. For 2020, BMW is introducing an #X7M50i with 523 HP or about 70 more HP over the #X7xDrive50i. If you are looking for one of the nicest SUV's money can buy, the 2020 BMW X7 should be at the top of your list.

wonder how much is it gonna depreciate after 5 years, 50000?

[@charlesyoung9980]

BMW's depreciate, roughly, 57% after 5 years. So, with that said, this SUV 5 years from now with 50,000 miles on it will be worth roughly 47 grand. If it's a CPO add 10% for a value of 51-52 grand

[@18_rabbit]

@@charlesyoung9980 no-- it depends on popularity and the economy: many such cars in the Land Rover and the other german brands like MB, do not even hold at that 43% of original, level-- and get into the 35%, and even maybe 30% by five years. For reference look at the top models of X5, i.e the rare ones, and top of Porsche Suv's , and of course MB

Overall, and for the money especially, the new X7 is the most impressive luxury suv, some minor design and proportions issues aside. Even regardless of price, BMW's first full size luxury suv is very impressive. For a first effort, it's amazing. It took other makers many years to get to where they are now with their luxo-barges. What Rolls Royce did with its first effort is also very impressive, even at 3 times the price, but the Cullinan is literally the Rolls Royce of suv's.
