The luxury SUV that originated in the 90s has always been one of the favorite models of local buyers, from the beginning only Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz and BMW followed, and later Porsche and Audi also joined the battle in the early 21st century. In recent years, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Rolls-Royce and even Ferrari have also competed to launch SUVs, and their impressive performance has made them undoubtedly a "cash cow" for automakers. The protagonist of this article, the Range Rover, belongs to the model that has just completed the replacement, and the luxurious interior and a variety of options and model choices have once again refreshed the product height of this old SUV car factory; and the BMW X7, although relatively young, but in the recently launched mid-term redesign, it also uses a split headlight similar to the replacement 7 series, with the existing giant double kidney grille and tough body, conveying a tough and devouring aura, which is undoubtedly easy to make the target customer group fall in love at first sight.
Today, the new generation of Range Rover has been officially launched, with a total of 4 models launched in the early stage, all of which are extended wheelbase models, priced at 146.8-249.8 million yuan, and other models will be launched in the follow-up. The new BMW X7 has not yet been officially listed, with reference to the price before the change, the price range is 100.0-1698,000 yuan. This comparison let's first take a look at the latest disclosed high-end models of the two brands to see who is more attractive in their luxury and configuration strength.

Design comparison
A minimalist aesthetic that combines classics and innovations VS giant double kidney grille + split headlights of the new 7 series
The new generation of Range Rover and the new BMW X7 in the design ideas are very different, from the front of the car 45 ° at first glance, the change of the Range Rover seems to be extremely subtle, adhering to the main design of the previous generation of the shape allows people to identify its identity from a distance. However, the design team is not really lazy to this extent, as long as you look closely, you can find that the appearance of the new car is more concise, flat and smooth. The BMW X7 because of the relationship between the mid-term modification, the overall proportion, the side and the tail and other rough outlines have not changed, but the front face and the new generation of 7 series that appeared in China together, for the first time, the use of split headlights, but also the use of a more three-dimensional front surround, with a giant double kidney grille and fangs-style aluminum decoration, to X7 to enhance the target customer is very affected by the fierce aura.

Interior contrast
InControl OS 2.0 Infotainment VS iDrive 8 operating system
Entering the car, the new generation of Range Rover's central control still maintains the old boxy lines and crossed layout, and the simple luxury echoes the shape of the vehicle. The biggest change in the new car is that the central control screen has changed from the previous embedded type to a 13.7-inch external plug-in screen to imitate the hanging ultra-thin HDTV in the modern home. The overall style of the new BMW X7 interior is still the familiar BMW layout, but there is a key point in the decoration, but whether it is the central control screen mold or the material selected by the trim, it has been greatly improved, especially a whole one-piece suspension curved screen, coupled with a large number of solid wood decorations laid in the interior, and the new LED ambient light bar before the co-driver, which once again highlights the image of the X7 flagship identity.

Range Rover: 3.0T engine and 4.4L V8 twin-turbo engine
The new generation of Range Rover introduced two domestic powertrains in the early stage, namely the 3.0T engine and the 4.4L V8 twin-turbo engine. The 3.0T in-line six-cylinder twin-supercharged engine + 48V light hybrid system has a maximum power of 360/400 hp and a peak Nm 500/550 Nm, and the top model uses a 4.4T twin-turbo V8 engine with a maximum power of 530 hp and a peak torque of 750 Nm, all matching ZF 8AT transmissions.

The new generation of Range Rover comes standard with full-time all-wheel drive and all-terrain systems, in which the standard axle model is close to an angle of 34.7 degrees, the departure angle is 29 degrees, and the wading height of 900mm is still maintained through the angle of 25.2 degrees, coupled with the addition of long-travel adjustable air suspension, the off-road capability of the new Range Rover is still the best in the same class. But how many car owners will drive it off-road?
In addition, the new car also has a four-wheel steering system, and still uses an all-aluminum body, and the body stiffness is 50% higher than the old model. After all, the first version of the model has a length of more than 5.2 meters, four-wheel steering and a higher intensity body, which is expected to bring some agile performance to the big fat man.
X7: 3.0T+48V light hybrid system engine
In terms of power, the new X7 is currently showing two versions of the power, the 40i version provides a 3.0T six-cylinder engine, while the M60i provides a V8 engine, both versions are equipped with a 48V light mix system, not only the fuel economy is significantly improved, the power output has been further optimized.
The transmission is the familiar ZF 8AT transmission, the new model with the support of the new power and 8AT, can provide a maximum power output of 390 kW, as well as a peak torque of 750 N·m, and the fastest acceleration of 4.7 S 100 kilometers.

Edit the review
The new Range Rover combines classic and innovative design ideas, based on the EVA 2.0 electrification architecture, it has also kept pace with the trend of intelligence, and don't forget that there are luxury cars and comfortable configurations that comprehensively surpass the old model, and I believe that its orders will also come like snowflakes. Although the BMW X7 is slightly controversial in terms of styling, the new car is very unique in terms of technology and dazzling atmosphere, and the brand has also accumulated a large number of fan groups and high reputation for driving experience, and the future market performance is also expected. What are the surprises about their dynamic performance? Please pay attention to our professional commissioning reports in the future.
