This X5 prototype took all the ground a little too literally
–>
- A BMW X5 prototype crashed during cold weather tests in Sweden.
- He left the company’s test track and found himself stuck in Deep Snow, which required an excavator to release it.
- The production model should echo the Neue Klasse X concept and make its debut next year.
The BMW X5 helped popularize luxury crossings and have always been shamelessly focused on the street. Although it means better than average driving dynamics, you don’t want to exactly take the off -road model.
However, this is exactly what a test pilot did in a 2027 X5 Neue Klass prototype. The crossroads left the BMW test track near the Arctic circle and seems to have driven out an embankment. He then remained stuck in heavy snow.

The driver was fortunately unscathed, but the vehicle was not as lucky. Although it is not immediately clear if the prototype was damaged, the snow was deep enough for another X5 not to tow it for free.
This required calling the big canons in the form of an excavator. He finally dug the vehicle, which allows you to get safe. Although this is good news, the incident closed the test track for an important part of the afternoon.

By putting the accident aside, the Redesinian X5 will adopt a brand new before fair that echoes the Neue Klasse X concept. As a result, there is a thick “light bar” and two thin kidney grids. They are joined by consumption in mid-mix as well as by a large lower opening.
The changes are less drastic at the rear of the A, but the previous images showed the rationalized bodywork and the minimalist door handles that imitate those on the Ford Mustang Mach-E. The rear also appears to be scalable, but the hollow of the license plate will move from the hatching to the rear bumper.
Under the hood, we can expect an assortment of internal combustion engines as well as fully electric options. A variant fueled by hydrogen would also be underway and BMW previously announced its intention to launch its first series production battery vehicle in 2028. It will use a powertrain which has been developed jointly with Toyota.
