Why Choose a 2024 Range Rover over a BMW X7?

For decades already, the Range Rover has been a staple of the large luxury SUV segment, and the brand-new version introduced in 2024 promises to be the most luxurious and technologically advanced iteration of the Range Rover ever. If you are in the market for a new high-end SUV, you have surely noticed just how many models there are to choose from. To make this task easier, here are some of the advantages of the new 2024 Range Rover over the BMW X7:

Off-road Capabilities

The 2024 Range Rover is renowned for its exceptional off-road capabilities that stem from the brand’s extensive history of making some of the world’s most capable vehicles. The new Range Rover comes with an adjustable air suspension that provides regal comfort over the road and varying levels of ground clearance as well as better approach and departure angles, allowing it to tackle a wide range of terrains with ease. The Terrain Response system is a pivotal feature that allows Range Rovers to adapt to different off-road conditions effortlessly by tuning the parameters of the engine, transmission, suspension and all-wheel drive system. Speaking of which. all Range Rover models come equipped with All-Wheel Drive (AWD) systems that distribute power between all four wheels depending on driving conditions. This ensures maximum traction on slippery or uneven surfaces, providing enhanced off-road performance. While the BMW X7 also features an all-wheel drive powertrain, it is much more focused on on-road performance, which means it cannot compare with the Range Rover once the pavement ends.

A Luxurious Interior

The 2024 Range Rover offers a luxurious interior that is hard to match. It can be equipped with premium features such as massaging seats in both rows, rear bucket seats, power-deployable rear-seat tray tables, and a beverage chiller. These features, combined with the Range Rover’s high-quality materials and craftsmanship, create a cabin that is both comfortable and indulgent. In terms of technologies, while the BMW X7 might look very modern with its single-pane screens sat atop the dashboard, it is worth noting that the 2024 Range Rover is just as, if not more, technologically advanced despite featuring a slightly more traditional twin-screen design that separates the digital instrument cluster from the large floating infotainment screen.

Powertrain Options

The 2024 Range Rover provides a wider selection of powertrain options, including inline-six, plug-in-hybrid, and V-8 engines. This gives buyers the flexibility to choose a powertrain that best suits their driving needs and preferences. For example, the entry-level Range Rover Sport SE comes with a 394 HP powertrain that can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.8 seconds.

Available in the same model is the powerful and efficient P550e plug-in hybrid powertrain which combines the same turbocharged six-cylinder engine with an electrified system that makes for an output of 542 horsepower and an all-electric range estimated at 94 kilometres.

Choosing the high-performance Range Rover SV provides the highest level of performance offered by the Range Rover, with an output of 607 horsepower from its 4,4L twin-turbocharged V8 engine. In comparison, the most powerful 2024 BMW X7, the M60i xDrive, has only 530 horsepower.

As you can see, the 2024 Range Rover has all it needs to remain at the top of the luxury SUV segment for years to come, despite the arrival of strong contenders like the BMW X7
