Sorry folks...this is what a Jeep looks like and there is no way to confuse it with anything else.

Because they are switching platforms and the new X7 will be built on the same platform. They can switch the whole Spartanburg factory over to the new platform.

Did I start a trend by drawing comparisons between Kia and BMW's new kidney grille designs? Seems like everyone is jumping on the bandwagon now and maybe taking it a bit too far by posting pics of Jeeps and Kias in this thread. Sorry folks, a white strip in the middle of the tail light does not automatically make this new X5 preview look like a Jeep...

Tail lights don't have the same shape or even white/red color pattern. Round vs. square exhaust pipes Square vs. round wheel arches Shifting body line vs. straight line on the Jeep Not even close other than the classic SUV silhouette shape and maaaybe the rear spoiler. Nice try to the haters though!

The headlight design, like the new X3, is ugly to me. The sharp angular shape doesn't compliment the grill well, it clashes.
I like everything else, well maybe not the tail lights. Maybe it's just being resistant to change. |

You realize one can be designed to look like the other. It matters not which one came out first

I think the similarities between the X3 and x5 have always been there regardless of where each is in lifecycle.

Battery location for X5 40e
The G-series platform for the X3 was designed for an all-electric version with under-floor battery (revealed in China show). I would presume that the PHEV version of the X3 would also use some of this under floor space. How about the new X5 40e. Will it use an underfloor battery or continue to intrude on the trunk space as in the current model?

BMW E70 BMW F25 BMW F15 BMW G01 BMW G05 Based on the above.. I think the G chassis looks very close to each other than any other chassis.

with the x5 currently I have seen some not so flattering images that make the car look a little off however in person and on the road they look awesome. I am going to wait to judge till I see this new one in person as I feel it could be the same case for me personally.

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.
