The BMW Group hasn’t ruled out launching a pickup to counter the Mercedes X-Class. With arch rival Daimler bringing the Mercedes X-Class to the market this year, the BMW Group will be watching this space closely. With that thought, automotive illustrator Shoeb Kalania has rendered a BMW mid-size pickup based on the BMW X5.

Daimler sells Mercedes-Benz-branded vehicles under the Mercedes-Benz Vans division, while Audi is owned by the Volkswagen Group which owns Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles. The BMW Group, on the other hand, doesn’t make CVs, making this project harder and more expensive.
