The all-new BMW X7 SUV and the 7 Series facelift have been launched in India today and we have all the highlights from the launch event here. While the X7 is the company's all-new flagship SUV, the 2019 BMW 7 Series has received a major update right from design and styling to features and powertrains. India, however, we will get only the long-wheelbase version of the sedan. We have driven both the models and have told you all about them in detail, including our expectations with regards to the pricing of the new BMW X7 and the 2019 BMW 7 Series Sedan, which have been pretty much spot on.
