BMW offers X7 luxury SUV in three variants. There is a xDrive 30d Signature, M50d and xDrive 40i variants on offer. It is not clear which variant did Keerthy actually opt for. Looking at the sportier front-end, we assume that the actress has gone for the top-end variant. As mentioned above, X7 is the SUV version of 7-Series sedan which means there is a long list of luxury features in it. As seen in many other luxury cars and SUVs, it comes with leather upholstery, heated and ventilated seats for both front and rear seat passengers. Electrically adjustable seats for all rows, panoramic sunroof, 12.3 inch touchscreen infotainment sytem, gesture control, Bowers & Wilkins sound system, five zone climate control and so on.

Apart from these features, BMW is also offering customers the option to customise the car as per their requirement. Coming to the engine and transmission options, the BMW X7 SUV is available with both petrol and diesel engine options. This top-end  M50d variant of the X7 uses a 3.0 litre quad turbocharged diesel engine that generates 400 Ps and 760 Nm of peak torque. The engine is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission that sends power to all four wheels.

BMW X7 is a huge SUV but, that does not mean it is slow by any means. The SUV can easily do 0-100 kmph sprint in just 5.4 seconds (claimed) and the top speed of this SUV has been limited to 250 kmph.
