Why is the fuel economy of the BMW X7 much lower compared to other SUVs?

I recently purchased a BMW X7 and have noticed that it has a significantly lower fuel economy compared to other similarly sized SUVs. Is there a reason for this, or is it just a design flaw?

Hi Rachel, thanks for your question. The BMW X7 has a larger and more powerful engine compared to other SUVs, which results in a lower fuel economy. However, you can still optimize your fuel consumption by using the ECO PRO mode and avoiding aggressive driving.

Hi Rachel, the BMW X7 is a luxury SUV and comes with more advanced features and technology, which can also affect its fuel economy. In addition, the X7 is a heavier vehicle due to its premium construction, which also contributes to its lower fuel efficiency.
