X5 [Spy Shots] Next Gen BMW X5 (G65) and iX5 - coming in 2027?

[klier]

I'm not getting van vibes just yet. Perhaps pitching closer to a crossover lines than before - I actually get Velar vibes from the side profile - but not an MPV as yet.

Velar. YES. Good way to describe it from these spy pics.

Kind of seeing Volvo XC vibes. But the panels are probably making it look that way.

Yeah - a little bit of that too...

Gives me first generation X5 vibes. Especially from the side and the rear. Looks amazing.

Grille is taller. You can see how deep it goes.

Indeed looks longer and lower, first reinterpretation away from the first X5 generation and its’ successors. Intrigued.

The BMW X3 model line never had a "proper" Hofmeister kink to begin with. The last X5 with a traditional kink was the F15. Even G05 has a loose interpretation of the traditional kink.

The new X3's D-pillar treatment is purely an extension of the theme established with G01. So I doubt we'll be seeing BMW revert to the - let's call it classic - Hofmeister kink on this new model.

The current X5 has a clear kink IMO. The second gen X3 also had a clear kink, although it didn’t look so good. I have seen people argumenting that the current X3 also has a kink, but that it is just starting earlier….

All this Kinky talk is making me excited!

The door handles correspond to those of the BMW Neue Klasse X study, exciting! Currently, BMW models are driving around with four different door handle variants. Those from the i7/iX, i5, iX3 NA, and now these here.

Looks good, although definitely getting some Acura MDX vibes from this angle.

The Neue Klasse i3 is scheduled to start production only 3 months after the new X5, hopefully we see some testing on the road soon.

Looks sensational already. Can't wait to see more.

After the weird G60 5er, the X5 might be the only model, together with the 3er, that BMW nails time after time.

 

[rollo]

It does look promising.

 

[bmwz4coupe]

Good to see that people think it looks promising, but personally I can’t see a shit with all that camo….

Side and 3/4 views along with the short front overhang caught my eye.
