We previously reported that BMW registered the X8 and It is the new BMW X8, a coupe-style roof model based on the X7. Its appearance will be more suitable for the tastes of young people.

In terms of power, according to overseas media, the new car will be equipped with the first 4.4T V8 plug-in hybrid engine launched by BMW's M High Performance Division, with a maximum output of 560kW, and the transmission system is matched with an 8-speed Automatic manual transmission and xDrive four-wheel drive system.

#?The relationship between X8 and X7 will be the same as that between X6 and X5

You can find a lot of X7 shadows in the design drawings of BMW X8, especially On the front face, the X8 uses the same large-size double-kidney grille. The seven vertical slats and thick chrome decoration highlight the luxury and muscular look of the vehicle. The lamp units on both sides of the grille are long and narrow, and the spoon lights have a good lighting effect at night. I believe BMW will further adjust the shape of the lamp units and LED animations to differentiate it from the X7 model. In addition to this, the vehicle's bumper should also be slightly different, with larger vents to visually make it sportier.

Although this SUV remains consistent with the X7 from the front face to the b-pillar, starting from the roof, the lines of the BMW X8 begin to slowly slope toward the rear. Compared with the boxy shape of the The back design makes it more beautiful, but looking at the rear of the new car from the rendering, it seems that the ending is a little too hasty and looks very abrupt and uncoordinated. I hope BMW designers can make a new adjustment to the rear design of the X8.

#Editor summary

Fastback styling has gradually become a new trend in this era, from the earliest BMW X6 to the BMW X4 and the Audi Q8 launched in recent years. The rise of car models can also support the above point of view. Of course, referring to the positioning and price range of the BMW X7, it is obvious that the arrival of the X8 will not be available to ordinary people. Therefore, wealthy people who want to buy a luxury car can wait.
