There was a gentleman there that we became friends and he mentioned he had a GLS63 and sadly he says his vehicle had more room compared to the X7. For those of you that were expecting a true three row vehicle you will be disappointed. For those that wanted a nicer, more upscale and plush SUV than the X5 and still need the ability to take 6/7 depending on how you configure the middle row you will be pleased. Is it $30k better than a X5 is up to you.

Fortunately, I'm not disappointed because I'm more interested in having two individual seats in the middle than a third row and knew that, given its dimensions, the X7 would in no way approach the room of an Escalade. But, did they indicate it'll be $30k more than an X5? Even with the additional standard equipment on a 40i, I was thinking more in the neighborhood of $20k.
