Everyone knows about the localization of bmw X5, and bmw is promoting the mid-term restructuring of X5 overseas at the same time. Recently, it was revealed that BMW's medium-term modification of the X5 will have a more reinforced power system, and will also launch an M60i model, which may be based on the existing V8 engine, adding an electric motor to achieve the effect of power enhancement, as for what kind of hybrid, it is not clear for the time being.
At present, there is no clear picture of the mid-term modification of X5, only spy photos and hypothetical pictures, from the spy photos, the new X5 should have some changes before and after, these areas are covered with camouflage stickers, the front headlights seem to become thinner, the internal lighting design may also change, and the grille of the middle net seems to become larger. There are not many changes seen in the tail at present, because there is less information, and we cannot speculate where there will be changes.
In the hypothetical picture, you can see that the headlights of the mid-term modification X5 have changed the most obviously, the internal daily running lights have become the appearance of the 5 series, which is reasonable, and the bottom of the surrounding sides is a certain change, becoming more moving. But after all, it is a hypothetical map, and it will take a while to know how it is.
Regarding the power, the current information is: the 40i model was originally equipped with a 3.0T engine with a maximum horsepower of 340Ps, and it is possible to upgrade to 370Ps in the future, but it is still the B58. The N63 engine on the M50i model may be further optimized, and it is reported that a new V8 engine codenamed S68 is under development, which may form a light mix system. The M50i after that may become the M60i. Neither the M50i nor the M60i should be able to enter the domestic market.
GO Car Jun comments: It is expected that the mid-term redesign of the X5 will be put into production overseas in the second quarter of 2023, before which the domestic long-shaft version of the BMW X5 should be listed, and when to bring the domestic mid-term redesign model, it may have to wait until the end of next year.
