Additionally, the updated 7 Series showcases a more streamlined front, paired with slimmed-down LED daytime running lights (DRLs) and redesigned vertical projector units. Not only that, but the kidney grilles, which are signature to the German automaker, as per the leaked images, have grown larger and more rectangular.

Notably, the front grille features horizontal slats and an illuminated perimeter. In addition to that, the company seems to have replaced the bumper from the previous generation along with the air dam design. Both of these have made way for a cleaner and more minimalist aesthetic, complemented by new alloy wheels.

The next-generation of the BMW X5 looks set to adopt the new ‘Neue Klasse’ philosophy, which is being advocated by the German automaker. Currently, there are only two models under the Neue Klasse philosophy, namely the iX3 and the recently showcased i3 electric 3 Series sedan. Interestingly, the next-gen X5 is expected to be launched later this year.

Moreover, the next-generation BMW X5 boasts a very upright design, which features a slab-sided front with slim grilles with LED outlines. The LED outlines merge into the sleek black panels on the front fascia of the new X5. Along with that, the side profile of the X5 looks heavily borrowed from the ‘Neue Klasse’ iX3. It features smoothened body panels, retractable door handles, and squared-off wheel arches, making the car look especially large, compared to its Neue Klasse sibling.

Furthermore, the next-generation BMW X5, as per the images which were leaked online, boasts wide-LED tail lamps. These are not exactly connected LED tail lamps since they stop short of meeting in the middle. Along with that, the next-gen BMW X5 features a dual-ridge roof spoiler and a performance-centric, sporty rear bumper to sum up the rear section of the car. In addition to that, the next-gen SUV from BMW features quad exhaust tips, thereby giving the next-gen SUV a more sporty and performance-centric look.
