I've already seen the new X7 in the flesh in Montrery Car Week last month.
I'm happy to report that the 2nd row seating is plentiful with the front seats situated in a reasonable position (I'm 5'10").
I can confirm the 2nd row seats is a bench and not captain chairs.
Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with the 3rd row. Access is easy as the 2nd row has a push button automatic fold. However, don't expect to be comfortable back there. The current gen Q7 gives you a good idea how much leg room to expect. It's definitely longer than the +2 configuration in the X5. With the 3rd row up, expect a much smaller trunk space. And unlike a van which has a deep trunk (vertically), the X7 isn't deep as you should expect the typical BMW SUV trunk setup with the removable floor.
Overall, don't expect much in terms of a space upgrade. BMW literally built a MB GLS and Q7 competitor. From the D pillar, it almost looks like a GLS.
The one thing I was impressed with is the interior build quality. It's another step from from the current gen X5.
