What reviewers say

Carwow and Top Gear praised the X7's spacious third row, quiet cabin and comfortable ride. Both found its size awkward and its styling divisive. Carwow found the updated infotainment less easy to use than before, while Top Gear thought the cabin lacked the distinct feel of some luxury rivals.
