Didn't see this posted anywhere, but Motortrend states that Alpina is testing the X7 for a potential new Alpina model. This wouldn't be the first Alpina SUV, as the XD3/4 exist, but it could possibly be the first Alpina SUV to come to the US

The 2020 X7 M50i is more powerful and heavier still, with a 523-hp 4.4-liter twin-turbo V-8 and a BMW-estimated 0-60 time of just 4.5 seconds. As for the BMW Alpina XB7 (the hot SUV's likely name), it could have as much as 600 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque, potentially matching the 2020 Alpina B7 and its twin-turbo V-8. Engineering a tall three-row crossover isn't the same as working on a large luxury sedan with a lower center of gravity, however, so we'll have to wait to learn more on the potential next best-selling Alpina model in the U.S.
