The world is still SUV-crazy, although large and hulking isn't enough for everyone anymore. Power and beauty are still lusted after, and to meet those needs, there are tuners-cum-OEMs like Alpina who take a premium sports utility vehicle and make them more - so much more that you get to superfluous, as is the case with the Alpina XB7. And with BMW officially acquiring Alpina earlier this year, the XB7 is one of the last models to come from outside the BMW wheelhouse with an Alpina badge. The recent launch of the latest XB7 comes just a few months after the launch of the updated BMW X7 for 2023, but the wait has been worthwhile. Based on BMW's CLAR architecture, the three-row large luxury SUV has been dialed up by the famed tweaker of all things BMW to create the equivalent of the X7 M BMW itself will never build.
When Is The BMW Alpina XB7 Coming Out?
Orders opened in September 2022, with the release date of the BMW Alpina XB7 scheduled for early 2023, when first deliveries are set to take place in the USA.
BMW Alpina XB7 Price and Competition
You can get behind the wheel of the 2023 BMW Alpina XB7 for a starting price of $145,000, excluding a $995 destination charge. This is around $3,550 more than the MSRP of the 2022 model but slightly less than rivals like the Mercedes-Maybach GLS. The latter will cost in excess of $165k, and although it feels even more opulent than the XB7 inside, it isn't as powerful. Meanwhile, the Mercedes-AMG GLS 63 is priced lower at $135,400 with 603 horsepower on tap. The XB7 has 630 hp available, while the Maybach GLS makes 558 hp.

BMW itself doesn't bother making M versions of anything wearing a 7 badge, and for good reason: The 7 models are built for comfort, not performance.

BMW noted in its full-range 2020 model year update last week that the 3 Series GT and 6 Series GT will not return.
The end of the 6 Series variants comes as no surprise as the 8 Series takes over flagship duties.
The German automaker telegraphed its intentions this past March when it noted the 3 Series GT would not receive a replacement.
Looking at the company's breadwinner models, the X3, X4, X5 and X6 are all slated to enter production this month before they start trickling into dealers across the US.
