As the pioneer of coupe SUVs, the BMW X6 has led the design trend in this market segment since its launch. Other brands have also launched their own coupe versions of SUVs. However, BMW seems to want to fully occupy this market segment. Currently, X2, X4, and X6 have been launched, which also correspond to the coupe versions of X1, X3, and X5 respectively. As BMW's flagship SUV, the X7's corresponding coupe model has not yet been launched, but now this situation is expected to change. Overseas media recently captured test spy photos of the BMW X8.

Although there is no official statement that the X8 is a coupe version of the X7, judging from the spy photos, the roof line of the car is obviously lower than that of the X7. At the same time, the wide D-pillar of the BMW X8 has a smaller tilt angle, similar to the style of the BMW X2. Of course, as a BMW, the kidney grille will not be missing, and from the outline point of view, the size of the X8 is not inferior to the X7 at all.

It is worth noting that the BMW X8 has a "Hybrid Test Vehicle" label around the body, and the rear of the car uses a hidden exhaust layout. Therefore, it is not difficult to speculate that the car is likely to be a plug-in hybrid version. The power system of the car is currently unknown.

Editor’s comment:

Based on the relationship between X1 and X2, X3 and X4, X5 and X6, if the X8 is really the Coupe version of the X7, then after the launch of the X8 , it will naturally be higher in terms of positioning and price. According to the news, the regular version of X8 is expected to be unveiled in 2021. At the same time, BMW has previously registered the trademark "X8? M", which also indicates that the car will focus on high performance. If you have anything to say about this car, please leave a message after the article!
