Only you are going to be able to make that decision. Some things to think about:
1. Do you need a vehicle now or can you wait another 12-18 months and get the LCI? 2. Knowing what we know now, what about the LCI do you think is worth waiting for? 3. The reverse of the above, what about the LCI do you not like? 4. When looking at a 22, what do you think it is lacking? Will it always bug you if you get one and then find out that lack was taken care of in the LCI? 5. Are there any financial concerns? There is likely to be a price increase and of course interest rates will probably be quite a bit higher than they are now.

I am picking the 2022 purely because I can't stand the tablet display they are throwing in the cars now. It's such a basic looking display to me. I was in a new Escalade last week and it looked so much nicer.
The only thing I would want from the lci is the additional power but since this is a car for my wife it's plenty powerful already. Lastly, there's a good chance pricing goes up for the lci so that's another thing to consider.

I will choose to live in the present rather than wait, as you can always wait for the next generation products year after year. We are not buying antiques for its value, we are buying life. Technology will always leave us behind. Enjoy the moment, enjoy the life.

There personally wasn't anything that significant enough for me to wait nearly 2 years for at the time I ordered, so we stuck with the 45e.
Worst case if its significant enough, we'll change. If not, we'll wait until the next iteration of the X5 or just go full EV when its time to move onto the next vehicle. |

I'm waiting for the extra power on the 50e, charging rate and hopefully range. The rest is cosmetics which I really don't mind either way. Plus residuals of course.
If you can wait why wouldn't you. Who wants to buy something which will be updated in 10 months time if you intend keeping it for a few years. I then hear the argument why not just trade. Very very expensive to do that in France and I'm not rich lol |

By that time, will people want to wait an additional 30 months for the next gen X5? |

Dealer starts taking orders for the 2023 in July. Is that the LCI or does that come later?
What are the changes? No hurry to replace my 2016 with 49000 problem free miles except for replacing batteries and original tires with non run flat and of course oil changes and wioer blades. |
