Quite drastically. That\u2019s going to happen after the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2021\/10\/19\/2023-bmw-7-series-spotted-testing-again-split-headlight-design-persists\/\">new 7 Series is launched.<\/a>\u00a0The flagship model from Bavaria will introduce a new take on the front fascia, most likely featuring a split headlight design. That feature will soon be adopted by other cars as well, including the X7 which will also introduce the split-headlight design.<\/p>\n<p>A possible confirmation comes from the latest sighting of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2020\/11\/30\/bmw-x7-lci-rendered\/\">BMW X7 prototype<\/a>. According to the images (you can check them out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auto-moto.com\/nouveautes\/scoop\/nouveau-bmw-x7-2022-restylage-approche-296215.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">here<\/a>), the X7 LCI seems to be sporting two sets of light clusters. There\u2019s one at the top, which may very well be the daytime running lights, and one below which will most likely include the low and high beams. That\u2019s a very different approach compared to what we\u2019ve seen so far from BMW.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_408043\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-408043\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/bmw_x7_lci_rendering00.jpg\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-408043\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/bmw_x7_lci_rendering00-830x397.jpg\" alt=\"bmw x7 lci rendering00 830x397\" width=\"830\" height=\"397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/bmw_x7_lci_rendering00-830x397.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/bmw_x7_lci_rendering00-768x367.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/bmw_x7_lci_rendering00-1536x734.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/bmw_x7_lci_rendering00.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of bmw x7 lci rendering00 830x397\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload size-medium wp-image-408043\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20397%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/bmw_x7_lci_rendering00-830x397.jpg\" alt=\"bmw x7 lci rendering00 830x397\" width=\"830\" height=\"397\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/bmw_x7_lci_rendering00-830x397.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/bmw_x7_lci_rendering00-768x367.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/bmw_x7_lci_rendering00-1536x734.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/bmw_x7_lci_rendering00.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of bmw x7 lci rendering00 830x397\"\/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-408043\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rendering by instagram.com\/germanysfinest43<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The X7 was just starting to grow on the majority of people and now BMW is seemingly going in a new direction, design-wise. When the car originally came out, a large number of what I like to call \u2018Internet pundits\u2019, criticized BMW\u2019s choice of using a larger than usual grille with a set of slim headlights. In reality, that design works, as it creates a powerful, single unit on the front fascia that embeds the grille and headlamps into a cohesive design.<\/p>\n<p>What will the future bring? We\u2019ll just have to wait and see, at least on the design front. In terms of technical upgrades, the new X7 will get the same engine choices as the upcoming 7 Series. We\u2019ll likely see upgraded B57 and B58 engines along with the new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2019\/09\/24\/bmw-reportedly-working-on-new-v8-engine\/\">S68 V8<\/a> that BMW is working on right now.
