I believe that is the main reason, but I also believe the fact the new Q7 is such a strong competitor, the RRS was refreshed this year AND the new ML will be out in 2019 are also compelling reasons for them to release a new X5.
While I think the outside of the current X5 looks great, the inside (at least to me) feels a little dated. Not that it isn't still nice, but when you sit in a new Q7, there is definitely room to improve the interior.
