Next-gen BMW X5 M60e & 7 Series facelift leaked!

BMW is gearing up to debut the all-new i3 on March 18. We had shared the first leaked images of the electric sedan recently. Now, images of two other upcoming BMW models have surfaced online – the next-generation X5 and i7 facelift.

Next-gen BMW X5

The design of the new BMW X5 is based on the brand’s Neue Klasse design philosophy. Like the new BMW i3, the X5 will feature a slim kidney grille and a new LED light signature.

As you can see from this leaked image, the X5 carries forward the muscular profile with its flared wheel arches and a bulky rear section. The rear fascia, though, has been completely redesigned and now features slim wraparound LEDs and a dual-tone bumper.

The new-gen X5 will be offered with petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid powertrains. The example featured here is the M60e xDrive variant powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo 6-cylinder petrol engine paired with an electric motor. It is said to produce around 570 hp.

BMW will also offer a pure-electric version of the SUV, the iX5.

BMW 7 Series facelift

BMW’s flagship limousine, the 7 Series, is also getting a major makeover this year. It will be presented at the Beijing Auto Show in April.

The 7 Series facelift gets a completely reworked front end. It has a sharper-looking kidney grille. It’s still ginormous and has an illuminated surround. It has a split headlamp setup, featuring dual LED DRLs and the main headlamps positioned on the front bumper in a separate pod.

The BMW 7 Series LCI will be offered with petrol and diesel powertrains upgraded to Euro 7 standards. The pure-electric i7 will also receive similar cosmetic and feature updates.
