Allegedly, BMW is developing an off-road SUV that will take on Mercedes-Benz G-Class. With reference to anonymous insiders, Automotive news Reports that the production of this model will start in the second half of 2029 in the company’s factory in South Carolina.
The model not yet mentioned has apparently received the internal code name G74 and will ride on an adapted version of the platform of the next generation X5. This differs from the G-Class, which has been stuck with a ladder frame chassis since its foundation, even when it became electric.
The report also claims that BMW’s off-road SUV will probably serve as an indirect successor to the XM, who has been the flagship in the company’s SUV line-up. The XM is currently built in South Carolina and can be stopped in 2028, taking the G74 its place as a Halo offer.
Earlier in June this year, BMW celebrated the 25 -year anniversary of the X5 by introducing the Silver Anniversary Edition in the United States. Limited to 1,000 units, this is supplied with the Xoffroad package that is not offered on another current BMW X model in the country. Including with the package, two-axis air suspension, a rear locking serial, special off-road drive modes, extra sub-bottom protection and all-terrain tires, all of which are suitable for the G74.
The next generation X5, which is claimed to be the basis for the G74, will be offered with electric and internal combustion drivers. The latter will probably be the only option for the G74, where an attached hybrid system is also a possibility.
