It looks like BMW Malaysia is gearing up to introduce the new G05 X5 and G02 X4, after both models were sighted at Ingress Auto Puchong by paultan.org reader Sean Leong.
Starting with the larger of the two SUVs, the latest X5 first made its global debut back in June last year. The G05 is a much bigger car than the F15 model it replaces, with a length of 4,922 mm (+36 mm), width of 2,004 mm (+66 mm) and height of 1,745 mm (+19 mm). The wheelbase has also been increased by 42 mm to 2,975 mm.
The design is new too, with an enlarged kidney grille, sharper headlamps with trademark hexagonal corona ring daytime running lights, new taillights and a revamped interior. This particular example comes with the M Sport kit, as the aggressive front apron clearly indicates.
As for the interior, the BMW Live Cockpit Professional system is a standard fitment, and consists of a digital instrument cluster display and a 12.3-inch touchscreen on the dashboard. We also see what is likely Vernasca perforated leather in Cognac being used as the upholstery for the cabin.
The layout of buttons on the left steering wheel spoke also suggests the X5 seen here doesn’t come with the Driving Assistant Professional package, which includes things like Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go.
As for the powertrain, the badge at the rear points towards this being the X5 xDrive40i that features a 3.0 litre turbocharged inline-six. The mill makes 340 PS (335 hp) and 450 Nm of torque, paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive system. Performance-wise, the variant will sprint to 100 km/h from a rest in 5.5 seconds, and tops out at 243 km/h.
Moving on to the X4, it too has been completely redesigned since February 2018, sporting more slimmer lighting units at the front and rear. Aimed at those who want a “coupe version” of the current G01 X3, the X4’s characteristic low-slung roofline has been retained.
Just like the X5 mentioned above, the white X4 spotted also comes with the M Sport kit, with the front apron being divided into three sections by blacked-out portions of the bumper, forming “tusks” in the corner inlets.
The dimensions have been revised too, as the new X4 sees an 81 mm increase in length to 4,752 mm, an extra 37 mm width to 1,918 mm, a height reduction of three millimetres to 1,621 mm, as well as a 52 mm gain in terms of wheelbase (2,864 mm).
Inside, the G02 looks to come with the same upholstery as the X5, albeit with a different design. The higher-end Professional navigation (with a 10.25-inch touchscreen) is also seen here, while passive cruise control is another standard bit of kit as well.
This being the X4 xDrive30i, as the “blurry” badging suggests, there’s a 2.0 litre turbocharged four-cylinder with 252 PS (248 hp) and 350 Nm. An eight-speed automatic and xDrive all-wheel drive system are paired with the engine.

Car buyers are going to get a shock of their lives with the new prices. Previous X40e was RM388k. This car is estimated to be RM688k
Not bad Malaysia. From RM388k terus jump to RM688k. Bad practices from the past is brought forward.
Amazing Malaysia!
You must be volvo sales man. I have not seen a single S90 on the road yet. This is lagi teruk
Poor BMW Malaysia, now Malaysians have phobia to buy EV or Hybrid because of the RM130k hybrid battery scandal by Mercedes
So, BMW Malaysia are seeing super low sales on their 330e, 530e and X5 40e. This is why they are bringing this car in.
End of the day, we the rakyat suffer. Higher car price of RM688k and higher road tax (last time 40e used 2.0)
X5 with Kia / Hyundai rear? Lols.
BMW is better than Mercedes
This new X5 without EV tax incentive is over RM580k. Siapa berani beli?
Don’t become like the old X5 buyers. Bought their cars for RM580k, then suddenly BMW Malaysia introduced the X5 Hybrid for RM388k.
Those people who bought the X5 for RM580k, overnight, their cars became RM250k in value. Buta buta lost RM300k in value
Careful buyers. Careful cause one day BMW Malaysia will intro the new G05 X5 Hybrid at RM388k
Australia this car AUD112k
McDonalds worker salary in Australia is AUD22.74 per hour.
10 hours work per day AUD$220
Per month salary AUD$6000
Malaysia this car is RM600k
McDonalds worker salary is RM8 per hour
10 hours work per day is RM80
Per month salary RM2400
So why do I still see more BMWs in KL than I do in Sydney?
At least now it will be a 7 seater. Malaysians want 7 seaters as we have about 5 to 6 kids. This is where our Proton X70 has failed us with a 5 seater. Konon national car
Red: My, BMW! What big nose you have.
Big Mean Wolf: The better to sniff you with.
