The new flagship X8 of BMW SUV is really here. Do you expect the shape of the sloping roof?

I always thought that the BMW X7 was the flagship model in the SUV family, but in fact this idea was wrong, because there was a BMW X8 on it. It's really coming!

Recently, overseas spy photographers captured the disguised prototype of BMW X8. Intuitively, it can be seen that this car has a top design, similar to BMW X4 and X6.

In order to cater to consumers in China market, BMW will still introduce three rows of seats in X8 models. Due to the roof shape, X8 will only introduce 2+3+2 seat layout.

BMW previously applied for registration of the trademark "X8" in the United States on 20 16. May I ask "X8? M "trademark registration, suggesting that BMW X8 will launch a high-performance version in the future.

The camouflage prototype captured this time is still a plug-in hybrid version, and it can be clearly seen that there is a plug-in device at the front fender on the driver's side. According to previous news reports, the future BMW X8 plug-in hybrid will consist of a 3.0T inline six-cylinder engine and an electric motor, or the same powertrain as the BMW 7 Series 745e, with a comprehensive power of 389 HP and a comprehensive torque of 600 Nm.

BMW X8 and X7 will belong to the BMW CLAR platform, so in some body elements, it is possible for the two cars to share parts. Some time ago, overseas spy photographers captured the figure of the redesigned BMW X7 in mid-2023, so the front face of the X8 may be similar to the new X7 in the future, and it is expected that the two cars will be launched at the same time.

According to the plan, in 2022, three flagship new cars of BMW family will be ushered in, including the brand-new X8 model, which will compete with Audi Q8, Jaguar J-PACE and Range Rover Sport.

The brand-new X8 will come from the production base in South Caspatinburg, USA together with X7. American media people predict that the starting price of new cars will not be less than $654.38 million+10,000.
