In our lineup of BMW SUVs, third-row seating is available in the BMW X7. More than 90 cubic feet of maximum cargo volume and six or seven seats are just the beginning. We've also laid out the details of the newest BMW X5, a two-row model that has sometimes offered a three-row option in the past.
If your growing family is exploring BMW SUVs, third-row seating might be at the top of your wish list. There is only one available this year, but it's a standout luxury option. The BMW X7 is powerful, with three capability levels and two configurations. We'll take a digital tour of it here, along with details of the BMW X5, a model that has previously been available with an optional third row. When you're ready for a firsthand look, contact our Braman BMW Miami team to schedule a visit.
As the automaker's only three-row SUV this year, the BMW X7 has large shoes to fill – and it excels in every way. With spacious interior dimensions, a host of high-tech appointments, and seriously impressive handling, the new BMW X7 is ready for almost any of life's unprecedented moments.
The mundane, like the morning school drop-off line, is easily managed with standard seating for seven passengers. Two front-row seats, a three-person bench seat in the second row, and a pair of chairs in the rear is the standard layout for the new BMW X7, but a six-seat configuration is available. Swap out that second-row bench seat for a pair of comfortable captain's chairs to elevate the experience in the second row – perfect for families with teens or preteens.
As for handling, prepare for some breathtaking specs. There are three options, each with unique horsepower and speed values. The BMW X7 xDrive40i is an entry-level model, but it sprints from zero to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds and makes 375 horsepower.
The second-tier is the BMW X7 M60i, so you know you're getting a track-ready vehicle. And it doesn't disappoint with 523 horsepower and a 4.5-second 0-60 time.
As the range-topping edition, the BMW X7 ALPINA XB7 is nearly unparalleled. It makes 631 horsepower and can launch from zero to 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds.
Before we wrap up, there are a few more highlights that make the new BMW X7 a stellar pick for you and yours, such as these dimensions1:
With dimensions like these, there's no question – the BMW X7 is ready for trips to the store, soccer practice, or day trips to the beach.


No, the new BMW X5 is not offered with three rows of seating this year. The BMW X7 is the only three-row SUV in the BMW lineup. However, in the past, the BMW X5 has been available with an optional third row. This configuration ended in 2023, and the BMW X5 became a two-row SUV.
Families with small children will find a pre-owned BMW X5 a great fit with three rows, if a bit snug, thanks to its compact dimensions. We can help you find one of these models from among our previously loved SUVs.
This year's BMW X5 has plenty of space inside for small families. The model offers 40.8 inches of headroom in the front and 38.7 inches in the rear. And wiggly children will find there's plenty of space to move their legs in the rear row, thanks to 37.4 inches (there are 39.8 inches in the front). With 60 inches of front shoulder room and 58.1 inches of rear shoulder room, there's space for broad shoulders, too.2
