- Thanks to www.romansinternational.com/ for lending us their Range Rover!
When it comes to luxurious 7-seater SUVs, it doesn’t get much better than the BMW X7 and Range Rover LWB!
The question is - If you’re looking to splash the cash on a high-quality SUV, which should you choose? Well, Mat is here to run you through these two contenders to see which is best!
When it comes to the design, these two are pretty different to each other but still look good from the outside. Not only are they both imposing due to their size, but they both manage to stand out. The Range Rover looks sophisticated from the front to the back, while the BMW X7 looks pretty imposing with an aggressive front end.
Both cars come with a high-quality interior, too. The X7’s cabin is covered in high-quality materials, and this face-lifted edition comes with BMW’s all-new infotainment screen and system - the same one as found in the new iX. It comes with a number of physical buttons, and almost most controls are managed within the screen. The Range Rover also has an all-new infotainment system, coupled with a large infotainment screen on the dash. It has more physical buttons than the BMW, but unfortunately, there are a couple of bits of plastic trim to be found.
Both cars come with various engine options, and the range-topper in both is a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8. However, while the Range Rover can produce 523hp, BMW is slightly up on power, at 530hp.
Finally, we have the price. Naturally, neither car is cheap, but while the BMW X7 range kicks off at £85,000, the Range Rover comes in a fair bit higher, at £107,000! If you want the two cars we have here, they will cost you £116,000 and £127,000 respectively.
So which is best - the X7 M60i, or the Range Rover LWB? Let us know which you’d choose in the comments, then sit back and join Mat for this in-depth group test!

Haha same here
@@HowDareYouu nope. He is clean.
@@yessinerabii7176 i bet using the X7 could be cool to ride.
@@purwantiallan5089 shut up
4 sec to 60 for a full sized X7 that is not an actual M car is utterly insane
Does it like twice then breaks
@@bigduphusaj162 think u meant the range rover
@@TheRapsterLOL given that they have literally the same engine, he’s right.
@@Jonathan-sn8wc it’s not the same tho…one is built by BMW’s m division, one is not
@@bigduphusaj162 youre clueless arent you
0-60 in 4 secs (on wet roads) is nuts! But for my money I can’t get passed those looks. The RR is just much more “desirable” and I’m a huge fan of the minimalist redesign.
Never did I think the day would come when the Range Rover would be dethroned by a new BMW SUV
I mean come on.
@@londoriath3764 Sorry to say but you are totally delusional.
@@Drinker424 A fanboy is here folks
@@londoriath3764 Nah I respect almost all car brands, but this x7 design is just disappointing. The technology and performances are better than RR but its not all about that
@@Drinker424 Yeah
But Luxury is about how your car isolates you from the world.
X7 does that better now
The front is shit though.
I'd ratger take a Defender though
I absolutely love BMW engineering.. second to none and only Porsche competes but the brand prestige and pedigree of the Range Rover is the sole reason why I am loyal to the brand. Ordering a full size Range Rover this summer!
Porsche is quite above its fellow German competitors in terms of brand prestige and actual vehicle quality and engineering.
@@HiddenWen BMW compares nicely to them.
@@HiddenWen Bmw is on par with quality and close on engineering. All the germans do pretty well tho
Porsche is an engineering Marvel. But would still like to get the X7. Would get Cayenne in a Heartbeat if they made a 7 seater sport SUV, would be insane to take the whole family to the track lmao. M5 CS is nothing short of engineering, that is a 911 on steroids with 4 bucket seats.
A major car dealership just went under, with the reason being warrantee claims on JLR cars. They literally say so in their closing letter. Look it up. I hope you see this before you put your order in.
I saw this Rover on the road yesterday and it reminded me of every movie with future cars in it. It looks wildly futuristic, especially the rear lights.
It's monolithic vs the BMW is hectic.
Rover? There's no Rover in this vid. You mean Range Rover? Yeah don't call it a Rover again. This is a UK channel a Rover is a completely different car
Yea nice look but way way overpriced for mediocre quality and shitton problems
@@MuhammadAnwar-hd1gq quality has gone down inside. But that exterior is simply futuristic. It looks amazing, on the exterior.
@@MuhammadAnwar-hd1gq and the bmw is shit reliability as well you don’t by a Range Rover for reliability you buy cos theyre cool and badass
Matt gets taller every video. From 176cm to 178cm and now 179cm.
Isn't he 1.82m or 6ft tall? He usually says he is 6ft tall in other videos and it looks like he definitely is
It happens when he gets aroused
@@craigmugwira6599 Craig I thought he was 5’11
@@harrisr1018 what
@@craigmugwira6599 yeah he said he was 6 foot
your review is spot on. People buy these for the magic carpet ride. I own a x7 and range rover. I will tell you right now, the x7 rides better (if you put on non run flat wheels). It's just as soft as the range rover, but it feels more planted and precise. When you go over bumps your car feels solid like one unit, whereas the range rover, you feel loose, and you hear some rattling that is absolutely unacceptable for a car at this price. Unless you can't become confident until you drive a Range to show your success, get the x7 please. It's a much much better SUV...
No you don’t
The intros always 🔥 and they keep getting better. Mat you are genuinely my favourite car reviewer.
1:03 The Ministry of Silly Walks would be proud of that one Mat, good job.
Amazing.
Wait.... that's a real thing? 😂
😂😂
The style of this Range Rover is unbeatable....while this X7 seems to be designed by three different people
The RR looks like shit
Ouch! Never turning back to admire that BMW front clip! Thx!
Raise your hand if you've been watching carwow for a long time🤚
Ever since their first video back in 2016, with the Kia Sportage....
🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽🗽
Ever since the first EV range test!
since its beginning ☺️

By far Range Rover
When I was looking at buying an SUV (2016 - Pre X7), I discounted the BMW X5 as "too small". I looked at the Range Rover, but found the staff in the dealership rude and ignored you unless you rocked up in a suit or a sports jacket, so I narrowed my decision to a Q7 with almost all options and it is an amazing car. However, I would definitely give the X7 a chance in a similar comparison with a new Q7, as tech and comfort levels look top notch in the X7. But between the RR and the X7, I would also plump for the X7.
Rude staff shouldnt scare you away from the car just try a different dealership, its not the cars fault afterall
Quick question the Q7 does it have an auto hold feature ?
U should send those aholes a nice review about beeing rude😂
Can't do off roading in bmw as compared to land Rover
bloody finally a sensible review. cheers, & thank you
Rain, sleet or snow, Matt will give us the videos we need! Thanks Matt ❤
The BMW X7 looked like it nailed it.
You definitely need a video of something that you can’t afford and probably will never be able to. Anyway, enjoy it.
Same with the postie....but I bet not many people bother to show them such appreciation...
One of the greatest Carwow episodes. The energy, enthusiasm and the passion of Mat is on another level thank you Mat for this level of quality in work 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
You're either joking or you're mats m8 🤣🤣
The BMW X7 is amazing in this drag race.
So if you shout a lot and jump about it makes a great test video? I gave up watching The Stradman because all he does is shout and jump about a lot.
@@borjastick but what about Mat?
SIMP
Thanks for the detailed comparison.
@Mat: Well done! I was almost sure that you were going to be biased towards the RR, but you did the right thing in the end and really surprised me! 😉
He was never biased towards RR I think he is bmw fanboy
He is a car enthusiast. BMW is designed for him. Range rover is designed for people of status and class. I am a car enthusiast and like driving a car. Range rover is clearly more designed for those who would rather sit in the back...
Love the energy of this one today, keep it up mat! you're doing great!
I love the comparisons! Please do more!
Like: BMW X7 vs Subaru Impreza 22B STi.
@@purwantiallan5089 lesbians car
Excellent comparison Mat!
I still remember the first Matt Watson car review I saw. It was for the BMW M850i and he hugged it. It was the craziest thing I had ever seen and here I am still here😁
Mate keep giving reviews, love your content
And all reviews seemingly 10/10.
Both are beautiful in so many ways. But the BMW digital dials look cheap when it's not flush to the dashboard like the RR. The RR is far nicer in the driver's seat because of how everything is laid out.
Yeaaaah no
In my opinion, the layout of the Range Rover is way worse.
The center screen looks like that a tablet that was hastily placed in there.
@@fumega Yeah my dad had a Range Rover and I didn't like the jnterior design of it (layout) it was just like this RR interior (that was 2018/19 model) after that we got the Audi Q7 and the Audi doesn't feel like a block on the road anymore, the interior also gave a blocky feel to the range rover. The Q7's interior is also very premium but just feels more dynamic, more lines and dynamicness on the bodywork although the interior just feels so much better to the eye.
Normally I'd take the Range Rover any day of the week but not in that dreary spec... I'd take the Autobiography with the cream interior over any other suv.
Awesome video. How come the RR has no daytime running lights which I thought were law these days in the UK since 2012 ?
Mat never fails to wow us with all these reviews, drag races and videos! Mat Watson, the best car journalist ever!
Imagine if the next Carwow drag race could be X7 vs FTO.
Bot
You would say that because you're the carwow bot..
lmao "best car journalist ever"
Great review matt 👏
Love this review!
This is a brilliant comparison, Matt and the team. Really useful information for purchasing.
I envy those who can buy any of these cars.
wouldve loved to see a GLS here as well
Yes! Me too.
A gls 600 has no comparison and also its way better
Awesome review!! ❤
Matt getting all the muddy grass all over the interior made my die inside a little bit
I thought it was just me. Was searching the comments section for petition for people to have Matt arrested for such crimes 😂😂😂
Mat thank you so much for this insane video!
Yes. And OTT epic.
16:11 that shot is beautiful, it could be used in a bmw commercial
The way that bm dug in and took off was mighty impressive
Nice Mat I love both Cars but more for bmw
straight to the point love it!
Yes. The BMW X7 imo is superior to even Opel Speedster.
I've been waiting for such a review for
Soo long now, there's has been alot of drag races we need some real car poking also
Intricate mechanism on the grab handle!! 80s suit case used to sport that 😂
Did I notice air vents in the rear for the back row passengers in the RR? That does help in keeping people cool and less car sick.
I love carwow and thank you Matt for making this channel so informative.
The BMW X7 looked like Nissan Pickup in terms of offroad capability.
I haven’t been in the market for a car in a while, and won’t be in a while, yet Matt makes me totally watch all the drag videos and comparisons. The day Matt leaves CarWow, is the day it dies.
I enjoyed watching the Video Comparison. The Range Rover LWB Is more stylish than the BMW X7 😊
Its trash
@@eliashabash7591 It provides greater comfort, luxury, and room, and all its missing is the sportiness of BMW. So it's not trash and its probably objectively better.
You guys should do a comparison on like the early 2000s audi tt vs some of its competition on that time, I've noticed a lot of cars of that Era are getting popular again.
Edit: Actually maybe like a mk 1 vs the newest tt
How come the auto lights didn't come on travelling down those country roads on the RR, very strange Matt and no DRL'S?
Most new luxury cars have the setting to turn them on or off while driving
Matt was a danger on the road, he must have them switched off..Why..?
I'm gonna go with Range Rover, it just looks badass.
12:48 that is really good video editing ❤
16:12 by far the best shot pulled of by carwow feel's like straight out of a BMW Brochure
that X7 is just in another league ! Awesome
other way around
@@bsjddjk 🥱 carry on
Its the other way around
I absolutely loved the old X7 but it isn't in the same league as the Range Rover. The Range can do everything the BMW can do plus towing, and insane offroad capability. However, the main reason I wouldn't have an X7 is that they ruined the styling of it. The old one was gorgeous and brilliant, the new one just looks like a Hyundai. For me, the Range Rover is the better car simply due to the fact that it's a gorgeous thing to look at. Also if you get the 4.4 V8 you’ll enjoy decent enough performance as well. Not M60 performance, but decent performance nonetheless.
Totally agree, the front is horrendous, lights are far to small for such a big front end!!
point is landrover can't make their engine by themselves they buy bmw engine and mission for rangerover gasoline model and rest of models of landrover buy ford engine and parts
Agreed 👍 with your verdict Matt, so I am buying both SUVs
That RR in completely Blacked out spec would look straight up Gangsta.❤️🔥
Shock, horror, Matt bashing LandRover 😮
Shock, horror, Matt is under BMWs payroll since he lusted over the M3 touring.
It's like he wants one for long term 😅
He didn't bash it enough. He said it looks good. It's an ugly block. Although most SUV's are.
@@samist4339 he was since the 840d he had. Mat is just to biased to bmw in every comparison sadly
@@tonyh1760 it's a piece of art especially next to the x7
@@v12-s65 it feels like a block from the inside too, there's just no dynamicness to the RRs. My dad had one, it's interior was just like this and it just didn't feel special or that cool and the car felt more blocky to drive as well in his experience. The Q7 we have now has lines going on, bit more of a dynamic nature all splendid with Quality materials and a much better interior imo than the RR we had.. I do love the German SUVs more.
Came for the cars, stayed for the measuring tape and the stick of truth 😂
9:14 the grass on the shoes 😂
You're a remarkable actor! You let me laughing to the tears...
The cars? Convincing.
No electric shocks.
Would love the 130 defender.
Crazy to think about that right now here in Germany you get about 15-18% discount on the X7 and about 3% on the RR.
That stuck on iPad is awful in the Range Rover.
BMW X7 all the way here, better to sit inside front or back as well. The looks have grown on me too. 4 seconds to 60 is absolute madness.
Currently choosing between the two and with having a defender 110 I am disappointed with the build quality so will have to move to the dark side!
That Range Rover looks seriously good
I appreciate how you pointed out the flaws in quality too! If you're paying 100k+ for a vehicle, it better be flawless :)
The RR is close to 200k in some versions. And, we know how JLR does in reliability reports - Dead last.
Can’t forget reliability 😅 the Range Rover is absolutely gorgeous, but I had to go with the x7.
Its a shame really
Just say you love range rover
I am picking the X7 any day. Since it's more reliable. I never thought I would say that.
5:15 mat sounds like an angry parent yelling qt their child 😂
I might’ve missed this, but what is the overall height available for the air suspension on both please?
1:01 Kudos to Mat for explaining the Range Rover’s length in language Americans can understand…
You also get heated seats in the third row in the x7
I bet it's another subscription by BMW.
The intro is epic 😆😭😭😭🔥🔥🔥
I love the verdict you were very realistic
As a previous owner of both a RR and multiple BMWs…definitely the BMW, just to avoid the constant maintenance and servicing issues with RRs.
4:08 it's called "haptic feedback" Mat🤣. Man's got a great sense of humour tho
the best of both for the SUV class, mat watson is indeed the best in presenting the latest car videos
If I will had the opportunity to choose one, this was a really hard decision for me to select one. Both great cars
As nice as the Range Rover is, reliability is always a concern with these cars! Time will tell how these fair to the older models.
These are bottom of the barrel junk. Hideously unreliable. The BMW fries itself on Boat ramps, something that a normal car can do no problem. These and the 6 series GT fry themselves the water gets up the rear subframe. And the Rangey is outright horrific I don't even know where to start with that mess of a thing, they've managed to make them even more unreliable now. I didn't even know that was possible
@@bigduphusaj162 Agree, hence why I'd never put that sort of money into another German car and wouldn't even consider a Range!
@@bigduphusaj162 i have a range rover v6 3.0 2015 and its on 140.000 km still 0 problems do you have any experience with range rovers?
Lmao. Just another idiot regurgitating the trash they’ve read online.
@@EELCK That's good going, I hear the v8 engines are more reliable
Like the intro 😁
For you next video, you should compare the Suburban(Chevy), Yukon XL(GMC), Escalade ESV(Cadillac). Unfortunately the American Cars are probably hard to import.
Matt, your X7 LCI videos get me so damn excited: I just can't wait (well actually I have to wait) for my wife's X7 M60i, British Racing Green, Tartufo full leather, 6 seater (but she'll keep the third row down to fit more in I'm sure) . . . on the boat to AUS, so not too many sleeps to go ;)
Sounds like a really nice spec, would love to see it 😮
@@AminVlogs1 I'd love to see it as well: still waiting 😮💨
@@pgekashave you seen it yet?
Matt is so eccentric he sometimes going silly with the cars he reviews 😂
Imagine if Matt reviewed the Toyota Aqua or Nissan LEAF.
@@purwantiallan5089 ew
🙌 am addicted to this channel
That is a hell of an intro, Mat.
Range Rover is the superior luxury vehicle, no comparison.
Dirty feet hurt me so much! 😅
You need to upload those sunset clips with x7 as wallpapers damn
Thank you Mat and Carwow.
As much as i like Beemers gotta give this one to Range Rover what a beautiful SUV
Also interesting that everyone seems to have their lights on (understandable with the weather) but the Range Rover doesn’t even have Daytime Running lights on, obligated..
How do you come up with all the explanations, it’s mad
Best car channel on CZcams
Definitely like the outside look of the Range Rover more than the X7. But, I like my cars to be reliable so I’d have to take the X7.
For me it's the opposite, I really don't like the Range Rover look
Well you'd be out of luck then because bmw is bottom of the barrel when it comes to reliability!
@@aidan825 lol where did you get that from? 😂 That can only be said for old BMW’s anything 2015+ onwards is really reliable, dont go with the stereotypes you hear here and there
@@reiatszu Guy has know idea what he's talking about 😂🤦🏽♂
BMW's reliability record is not exactly stellar either mate !!
Let's go BMW all day everyday 🔥
5 big mat steps long remembered me of Disney's Micky mouse episode of measuring length of their jump in goofy feet😂
Why is the windshield pink-ish? I’ve seen in London many BMW and Range with various color windshields. Is it mostly fashion?
I love watching reviews of cars I’ll never be able to afford! 😢
Both the BWW X7 and the Range Rover have a unique sporty design with a lot of performance from a lovely V8 engine!
X7 looked quite heavy compared to even Nissan Terrano and Tajima EV.
Stating the obvious again..
Bot
Range rover is most powerful car one of the best off-road car❤❤ not BMW 😂😂
Plz do a review with a Dogde Durango SRT hellcat
The shot at 16:11 is absolutely beautiful ❤️
I want one , talking bout the new x7 😍
