The front looks about as expected. I’ve been disappointed in the rear end styling of all these new designs.

Not sure when the official reveal is supposed to be but based on these leaked shots it sure seems like they are putting them somewhere for an upcoming reveal.

Rear looks worse then I thought as I had high hopes for that at least. I can do without the front. Side profile looks good. So is the split gate gone? Looks like it or is it hiding right under the tail light line.?? Front is spot on from what we thought it would look like. Rear spoiler with the two sticking up areas is a miss in my opinion.

To me it looks like the split tailgate is gone but it’s possible that line under the roundel and the taillights could still mean it does split. It doesn’t appear there is an open button on the tailgate except for at the bottom like the X3 which seems like odd placement of it does in fact split.

I don't know how any of you can look at the lower rear design treatment and say this looks good. It's HORRIBLE. Also, congrats on using Alfa Tonale rear lights flipped upside down.

The front with the skinny vertical kidneys seems fine, but lighting them up is kitsch. Mercedes has taken that to the next level of pathetic, though.

Ugh… so essentially it received the front end design cues from the iX3.

Of course. This has always been expected. It’s the NK design.

Scratch my previous reply and see below post #11. The G65 is still based upon the CLAR platform and not based on the NK platform.

Interesting color for an M car! Could this be the debut of Grey Pine?

Be advised the G65 is still based upon the CLAR platform.

The BMW X5 is one of the most successful SUVs on the market, and its fifth generation is set to continue that success in 2027. The new 2027 BMW X5 (G65) will be based on the CLAR platform, which is also used by the current generation X5. This means that the new 2027 X5 will be available with a variety of powertrain options, including combustion engines, hybrid engines, and electric motors.

This is not a “M Car.” It is a M Performance vehicle. There is a difference.

I don't love it but I can get used to it. It's what's coming on the inside that worries me.

I always hate the new model when it drops i just accepted the last one lol

Looks like some photos are starting to appear of the upcoming M60e. Looks like the split tailgate is officially gone.

So sexy looking. Nothing about this I don’t like. Be nice to see the interior! Let’s leak those!

Whats up with BMW? M2 xDrive leaked, i3 leaked early, X5 leaked way too early, 7 series lci as well???

Really hate that rear badge that’s meant to split the tail lights

Just like the 5 and 7 series - it looks too tall. This leak along with the i3 leak and the discontinuance of the 8 series makes for a pretty disappointing lineup from BMW at this time.

I literally just watched a POV posted yesterday with iDrive X (10) dominant.

Not terrible, but not too bad

I can honestly say that I never felt that way pertaining to the E53, E70, or F15 X5s. The G05 was the first. The G05 LCI addressed most of my exterior concerns, but introduced ID 8/8.5 to interior which I am not a huge fan of. I live with it, but I don’t love it.
