Arrival: 2020 BMW X7 xDrive40i

摘要

I know what you're thinking. Why is MotorTrend running a car that represents the antithesis of what BMW is all about? Vast, groaningly heavy, as elegant as Jonny Lieberman on roller skates, and fitted with a kidney grille you can see from space, the X7 xDrive40i seems to embody everything that's gone wrong at BMW. It is the anti-Ultimate Driving Machine. Thing is, that's the point. If BMW has sprinkled this most unlikely of vehicles with some of its old magic dust, it really will be an achievement. If not? Well, the X7 will provide a snapshot of just how far BMW has shifted its philosophy. Either way, it should be a fascinating year. At least we'll never miss it in the parking lot.
