[[M]anuel]

It is the equivalent of the BMW X7 M that the German brand has not wanted to make of this SUV. The luxurious and sporty Alpina SUV has been hunted again in tests, this time in spy photos further south of Europe. The Alpina XB7 Facelift 2023 is very camouflaged, although it does reveal some improvements that it will have.

The BMW X7 M should have been the great beast of the German brand, but its leaders considered that the M50 was more than enough for this model that, for now, is the top of the SUV range awaiting the arrival of the new XM in one year. The sportier alternative to the SUV colossus is the Alpina XB7 and, as the starting model and in parallel, it is also undergoing a facelift.

The new spy photos of the Alpina XB7 Facelift 2023 show the sporty SUV in an unusual setting, and much further to the south of Europe than we have seen it in recent months. With its characteristic bright blue color on the bodywork, the front and rear of this more raw X7 remain camouflaged, revealing the new thin light strip that is located on the edges of the front beam, dividing the light groups as in the XM and in the new generation of the 7 Series.

The front is very camouflaged, still with additional panels riveted on the original bodywork to avoid revealing any detail, taking into account that the Alpina model cannot reveal any detail before the X7 Facelift, so it goes to line. What the images do reveal is a new lip on the lower edge of the front bumper, while the air intake under the license plate has a different build, with a larger radar sensor in the center of the part.

The blue calipers are visible on both axles, behind the attractive star-patterned wheels, while at the rear the changes are also more important. In addition to the pilots presenting a new style, it is the bumper that attracts the most attention as it is completely new, diverting the retro-reflectors to a higher position. Some improvements that will also be transferred to the interior inheriting the arsenal of new features implemented in the BMW X7 Facelift, but with the complement of Alpina, with new materials and decorations, as well as a digital instrument panel adapted to the image of the preparer.
