Comparatively, in the new 7 series, you get premium look and feel anywhere you sit, perhaps more so in the back.
Regarding second row seating, my wife's highlander has better, larger and comfier captain seats. So not sure if this will sell all that great depending on what this type of buyer is looking for but if you are some exec who likes to be driven by a driver, x7 is not for you.

The 3-row "Luxury SUV" competition is:
Mercedes GLS
Lincoln Navigator
Cadillac Escalade
There are others but those are the main competition with 3 rows. The highlander is not a competitor by any stretch of the imagination regardless of it's "better, larger and comfier captain seats".  |
So you are laughing that a lower class 50k highlander has better rear seats vs 150k X7?
About the comps you listed, I don't think cadi or Lincoln cost as much as x7 so not sure their people will jump into x7.
I guess time will tell if x7 is a success despite lack of class in its rear.
