Obviously it will be called something iX5
Such a fresh and modern design and I see it holding up very well until 2027/28.

This, bringing them to production almost in "concept" format (iX) has already given them good results, proven with the i3 with a 9-year cycle and its best years at the end of it!

The iX5 will more than probably replace the iX.
That’s the impression I get.

Giving this car the NK treatment, both for the exterior and the interior, would seem so easy. BMW should try. It could make the model look entirely new.

The iX5 is based on the G65 X5. Not a standalone product

So it will again be a EV with a combustion platform. What happened to Neue Klasse?

I think I need to do a refreshed on NCAR vs CLAR. I thought we did a good job with previous articles, unless no one reads our stuff

Over the next 5-10 years, there will still be plenty of CLAR-based cars, like the iX5, iX7, regular X5, X6, X7, 3 Series, etc. etc. So some of these cars are electrified iX5, iX7 on CLAR.

Others are pure EVs on NCAR: iX3, iX4, i3, i4 and a few more towards the end of the decade.

So there was never a plan for an iX5 on Neue Klasse from what I know, at least not for the foreseeable future.

The upside of that is the fact that an X model doesn't suffer from awkward proportions when you mix BEV and ICE on one platform. Both the iX3 and iX1 look perfectly in proportion with either powertrain, which I guess is the major upside of a high riding SUV shape.

I have no doubt the next gen X5 will look like a proper X5 and will thus not suffer from any weird proportions.

It's a disappointment. It is not right to confine the vision of Neue Klasse to a single segment. iNEXT was used as advertising, but the result was ineffective. I hope the same thing doesn't happen. From now on, every new model should have an electric platform only. At least that's what Mercedes wants to do.

Actually the market says the opposite of what you just said. That was one thing that many OEMs have learned after COVID.

What specific market data are you basing that on?

but the result was ineffective.

In what aspects? Please enlighten us.

I would say globally. Unless you're a new EV player, I see most of other OEMs contemplating this EV-only strategy. Even Mercedes will sell ICE and EV cars in parallel.

It sounds like a strategic decision, based in part on launching first of all in NK the two obvious competitors of the Tesla model 3 and Tesla model Y, which are the most successful EV's in the world currently (and where there is more share space), another part seems based on life cycles of certain models, the "shared" CLAR has proven to be very efficient and cost effective, so why go crazy

It was said that it would be the technology flagship and revolutionize it. It actually turned out to be an ordinary electric SUV. There is no innovation it brings.

But selling ICE and EVs in parallel doesn't necessarily mean they will be on the same platform, which I think was the point @leylandi was making.

Having said that, BMW is making the right moves by making NK a dedicated EV platform and given NK based vehicles will be the volume sellers. While Mercedes is doing the opposite making the MMA platform shared platform for both ICEVs and BEVs.

Even Mercedes

That makes it sound like Mercedes is some kind of leader when it comes to EVs. They are as lost a kite in a storm.
