This is for BMW-unusually: After only five years, the brand shows already in the autumn of 2018, the successor to the X5. Now official images from the final test phase, to give a first impression of the look of the SUVs.
Why dispensed with BMW in the X5 to a model of care (internal LCI) and brings a completely new model? In addition to the already complex transition to the WLTP-consumption cycle and the Euro-6d-Temp-exhaust-gas standard, the X7 is to blame. He comes to the end of 2018 on the market and will be built as the X5 in the US plant in Spartanburg. For reasons of production simplification, both vehicles share the CLAR platform from BMW for vehicles with rear-wheel drive. As a result, a G is like the 7 series, 5 series, X3 and next 3-series at the beginning of the series. G05, the new X5 is called, G07 is for the X7. While the X7 due to its third row of seats is a very angular Design that mixes the new X5 elements of the previous look with bonds in the X3.
