A BMW X8, Really? Oh, Yes, It Could Be In The Works

With the introduction of the X7 earlier this week, BMW’s high-riding vehicle lineup has grown to, well… seven vehicles, including the X1, X2, X3, X4, X5 and X6.

Bavaria’s largest SUV yet is a Mercedes-Benz GLS and Range Rover rival with loads of space inside, tons of luxury features and the brand’s latest and greatest technologies.

Now, if you’re wondering whether BMW’s appetite for crossovers of all styles and sizes has been satisfied with the introduction of the new X7, well, the answer is likely not, as rumors have been swirling about a super-luxurious (and expensive) big brother to the sportier X2, X4 and X6, the X8.

Speculated to arrive withing the next two years, the X8 will essentially be an X7 with a sloping roofline, following in the footsteps of the smaller X4 and X6 SAVs.

Base models are expected to arrive with seating for five, whereas upper specs should benefit from a couple of second-row captain’s chairs, cutting the passenger hauling ability to four.

BMW is said to have trademarked the X8 moniker earlier this year. As it very often happens when automakers present new products, the X7 in this case, rendering artists go wild in trying to predict how future vehicles might look like, based on existing offers.

Shared at the bottom of the page are a few of renderings that popped up after the introduction of the X7. Penned by XTomi and Aksyonov Nikita, they try to give us an insight on what the rumored BMW X8 could look like. Only time will tell if they’re on the right track.
