In July 2025, CAR Magazine reported that BMW has confirmed its M department is working on a new halo performance car. However, it seems a car of this ilk is not the only BMW in the works, with reports now suggesting the Bavarian brand is working on a new off-road flagship SUV.

While there’s no official confirmation about this model yet, Autonews has reported that inside sources have said it will be internally known as the G74, likely be based on the next-generation X5’s unibody platform (as opposed to the X7’s), and debut in 2029. In addition, this publication’s sources have suggested the as-of-yet-unconfirmed SUV is expected to employ an internal combustion engine (ICE). Though, a fair bet would be that the latter will likely be supplemented by some electric wizardry. In addition, as it will reportedly be a more off-road-focused offering, it will likely feature an array of mechanical items to lend it improved capability.

As a reminder, BMW’s current SUV (or SAV, sports activity vehicle, in BMW speak) portfolio comprises a variety of models – ranging from the X1 to the barnstorming XM, the latter of which is expected to be discontinued in 2028 according to reports.
