And... it's going to need each and every bit of that powertrain if the curb weight is approx. 200-400 lbs heavier than a Ford Expedition.
Also, in no way are these things "sporty." They should be called luxury utility vehicles... LUVs... Would hate to to be tasked with marketing that acronym! Lol

I have a 20 M5C and the Mrs has an 20 X7 4.0i M Sport. I drive her car enough to have pushed it a bit in Sport Mode. The X7 is sportier than you think and I'm coming from a 17 F85 (Dinan everything) and currently in the M5C.
This Alpina XB7 will set the benchmark for the full size sports luxury SUV market!
