Recently, foreign media exposed a set of spy photos of the new BMW X5 M. The new car is a mid-term facelift version of the current model. It will be officially released at the end of this year as soon as possible and will be delivered in April 2023.
From the spy photos, the new car is still in a relatively high degree of disguise, with multiple raised rib lines designed on the hood, which is consistent with the current model; the air intake grille still adopts a double-kidney-shaped design, and the internal structure cannot be judged; the shape of the headlights on both sides is much flatter than the current model, and the interior is blackened, and the integrated line-shaped sunlight similar to the new BMW X1 is in a sharp style. The three-stage design can be seen in the surrounding part of
, and small-size diversion grooves with vertical layout on both sides can improve aerodynamic performance; the middle part uses polygonal air intakes, and the huge ACC radar probe is very eye-catching.
In terms of side shape, the body lines do not change much, the roof lines are a little curved, and are equipped with shark fins and luggage racks, which effectively increases the sporty atmosphere; the waistline adopts a segmented design, embellishing the layering of the side of the body; the front fender is covered with camouflage, which means that the shape of the diversion groove may change, further optimizing the aerodynamic performance; the wheel hub still adopts a multi-spoke black shape, and the texture is created better.
In terms of tail shape, the roof is equipped with a small-size spoiler, and high-position brake lights are not absent; the taillight group is covered with strict camouflage, which means that the shape of the taillight group may change; the tailgate still adopts the upper and lower cross-opening form, which is a very recognizable design style; the lower surround is obviously in a temporary state, and it is suspected to be equipped with a exhaust gas collection device, so the emission standards should be being tested. There are currently no spy photos of the interior of
. If there is no accident, the new car will be replaced with the latest curved through-type dual-screen interior of BMW , but the chicken leg-type electronic gear lever should be retained. In terms of power, the new car will still be equipped with a 4.4T V8 dual supercharged engine, but it is expected to add a 48V mild hybrid system, with the maximum power remaining 625 horsepower, and the 8AT gearbox and xDrive four-wheel drive system are still matched. Thanks to the support of the 48V mild hybrid system, fuel economy and smoothness during automatic start and stop work should be improved.
