BMW X7 2025 India: New Prices, Signature Edition & Features

The BMW X7 has always been more than just an SUV—it is a statement. Known as “The President” in many car circles due to its massive road presence, BMW’s flagship SUV has seen major updates for the Indian market in 2025. From a stunning new limited-run “Signature Edition” to updated pricing effective from January, there is a lot for potential luxury buyers to know.

If you are planning to upgrade to this 7-seater luxury fortress, or just want to know why it rivals the Mercedes-Benz GLS, this guide covers everything about the 2025 BMW X7 in India.

What is the Latest News?

There are two major updates for the BMW X7 in India right now:

Launch of the “Signature Edition”: BMW India has introduced a limited-run variant called the X7 Signature Edition. This special model is assembled locally at the Chennai plant and comes with unique cosmetic upgrades that set it apart from the standard model.
2025 Price Hike: Starting January 2025, BMW India announced a price increase of up to 3% across its model range. This pushes the on-road price of the X7 higher, making it an even more exclusive purchase.

The “Signature Edition”: What Makes It Special?

The Signature Edition is currently the talk of the town. It is available only in the petrol engine option (xDrive40i) and commands a premium price of approximately ₹1.33 Crore (ex-showroom).

Here is what you get for the extra money:

Crystal Headlamps: The most striking feature is the Swarovski glass-cut crystal headlights. They create a unique shimmer effect that you won’t find on the standard model.
Exclusive Colors: It is available in two stunning shades—Tanzanite Blue and Dravit Grey.
Interior Luxury: Inside, it features “Crystal” door pins and Alcantara cushions for the second row, adding a touch of ultra-luxury comfort.

Engine & Performance: Petrol vs. Diesel

BMW continues to offer the X7 with two powerful 3.0-liter, 6-cylinder engine options. Both engines now come with 48V mild-hybrid technology, which improves fuel efficiency and provides a smoother start-stop experience.

Feature	xDrive40i (Petrol)	xDrive40d (Diesel)
Engine	3.0-Liter Inline-6 Turbo	3.0-Liter Inline-6 Turbo
Power	~381 bhp	~340 bhp
Torque	520 Nm	700 Nm
0-100 km/h	~5.8 Seconds	~5.9 Seconds
Mileage (Claimed)	~11.29 kmpl	~14.31 kmpl

Expert Note: If you drive long distances or prefer sudden bursts of power for overtaking on highways, the Diesel (40d) is the better choice due to its massive 700 Nm torque. For city driving and silence, the Petrol (40i) is unmatched.

Interior & Features: A Tech Fortress

The cabin of the X7 is arguably its strongest selling point. It features the massive BMW Curved Display, which combines a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.9-inch infotainment screen into one single glass unit.

Seating: Available in 6-seater (Captain seats) and 7-seater configurations. The 6-seater is more popular for chauffeur-driven owners.
Sunroof: It gets a massive panoramic “Sky Lounge” sunroof that extends even to the third row, making the cabin feel airy.
ADAS Tech: It includes safety features like Lane Departure Warning, Cruise Control with braking function, and Parking Assistant Professional (which can park the car for you).

Why It Matters for Indian Buyers

In India, the luxury SUV segment is a battle between the Mercedes-Benz GLS and the BMW X7.

The GLS is often called the “S-Class of SUVs” and focuses purely on soft, cushiony comfort.
The X7, however, offers a “Driver’s Luxury.” It is comfortable but also fun to drive yourself.

With the new Signature Edition, BMW is targeting buyers who want exclusivity and don’t want their car to look like every other luxury SUV in the parking lot.

Pricing and Waiting Period

As of early 2025, the prices (Ex-Showroom) are roughly:

X7 xDrive40i M Sport: ₹1.27 Crore+
X7 xDrive40d M Sport: ₹1.30 Crore+
X7 Signature Edition: ₹1.33 Crore+

Waiting Period: Depending on the color and customization, the waiting period in major cities like Delhi and Mumbai ranges from 2 weeks to 3 months.
