BMW is planning to create a full-fledged off-road vehicle with the index G74, inspired by growing demand for brutish SUVs, particularly in the Chinese market, where it will compete with the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
Key Details:
- BMW has developed a render of the new off-roader with an angular body similar to the Gelendwagen, but with modern design inspired by the Neue Klasse style
- The vehicle will feature high ground clearance, high-profile tires, trapezoidal stamped lines above the wheel arches, and a spare tire mounted on the tailgate
- It will be based on a reworked platform from the next-generation BMW X5 with hybrid powertrains; fully electric versions remain uncertain
- Production is planned to begin in 2029 at BMW’s plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina, USA, where the off-roader could replace the BMW XM crossover
The Bottom Line: BMW is preparing to enter the premium off-road vehicle segment, adapting its technologies to a new format and target market where demand for such models continues to grow.
