Although the next-generation BMW X5 could be as far as two years away from hitting the market, one brave soul has decided to render the SUV anyway.

The only 2019 X5 prototypes our spy photographers have snapped have been covered in camouflage, with BMW doing a good job at hiding the vehicle’s exterior design changes. Consequently, it is nearly impossible to render the next X5 with any accuracy, but for what it’s worth, the image above is quite convincing.


For starters, it is widely thought that the new X5 will inherit some design elements from the all-new X3. As such, the rendering posted in BMW Blog adopts headlights very similar to those of the new X3, while the horizontal fog lights of the X3 have also made their way across to the SUV’s bigger brother, as have the shoulder line and a number of other styling cues.
