BMW X7 M50d Launched In India, Priced At Rs. 1.63 Crore

BMW India has silently launched the performance-spec version of its flagship SUV - the X7 M50d - priced at Rs. 1.63 crore (ex-showroom, India). Last year, when we drove the SUV in India, we had told you that BMW will bring in the range-topping diesel variant of the X7 in 2020, and it's finally here. The BMW X7 M50d is powered by a 3.0-litre in-line six-cylinder oil burner that is tuned to make 394 bhp at 4,400 rpm and develops a monstrous peak torque of 760 Nm at 2,000-3,000 rpm. The engine comes mated to an 8-Speed Steptronic Sport transmission with paddle shifters and xDrive 4WD system with variable torque distribution.
