The updated BMW X7 is the best large luxury SUV to drive, but it’s much more expensive than it was a few years ago. Is this threerow BMW still worth your cash?

On test is a BMW X7 xDrive40d M Sport in Dravit Grey over Merino Tartufo leather.

Major rivals to the X7 include the MercedesBenz GLS, the Volvo XC90, the Audi Q7 and the Range Rover.
