Overview

  • BMW’s internal G74 project is intended to fill a long-standing gap in the lineup with a halo-class off-roader aimed at rivaling the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
  • Production is scheduled to begin in the second half of 2029 at BMW’s Spartanburg, South Carolina plant after XM output wraps up in late 2028.
  • The SUV will ride on a heavily modified next-generation X5 monocoque platform equipped with subframes to support long-travel suspension.
  • A senior BMW manager told Autocar UK the model will seat up to seven in a three-row luxury cabin and prioritizes ICE power for segment credibility.
  • Industry reporting indicates the G74 may offer up to three locking differentials, air suspension height adjustment and an optional M-badged high-performance variant.
