2027 BMW X7 SUV spied for the first time, set to go electric
The German brand revealed it's working on a second-generation of the X7 SUV – a rival to the Mercedes-Benz GLS, Audi Q7 and Lexus LX – in its latest financial reports.

The report confirmed costs incurred in the carmaker's financials for the new X7 – the first public mention of a successor to the current model – as well as the iX3 battery-electric SUV and new 2026 X5 SUVs.
BMW Australia has yet to confirm the next X7 for local showrooms.
According to Autocar the new X7 will use a heavily updated version of the current vehicle's Cluster Architecture (CLAR) underpinnings – meaning similar dimensions – and be offered in both petrol-hybrid and electric powertrains.
"We are in a phase where flexibility is required," BMW R&D boss Frank Weber told Autocar. "We have to detach ourselves from how we have perceived platforms up to now."
The current X7 – codenamed G07 – is sold in Australia with a choice of 3.0-litre turbocharged petrol and turbo-diesel in-line six-cylinder engines and a 4.4-litre V8 twin-turbocharged petrol M60i flagship.
The carmaker recommitted to internal-combustion engines earlier in 2025, saying it will continue to offer V8 engines for certain models.
"V8s are here to stay. There are markets such as the US and Middle East where you cannot replace V8s with inline-six hybrids," said Mr Weber. "We will continue to offer V8s."
The current 'S68' V8 in the X7 was adapted to a plug-in hybrid set-up for the BMW M5 performance sedan and wagon, meeting Euro 6d emissions standards and making it a logical fit for the 2027 X7.
Electric versions of the X7, badged 'iX7', could use the 800V tech being developed for the battery-electric iX5 expected in showrooms from 2026.
Spy shots of the camouflaged SUV show exhaust pipes and heat shields at the rear indicating the vehicle pictured uses internal combustion and is not the battery-electric model.
It also reveals an exterior design departing from other BMW SUVs, showing a front-end closer to that of the 7 Series sedan.
BMW has said it will roll out its Neue Klasse design language with the next BMW iX3 due to be unveiled at the 2025 Munich motor show in September.
"We will make sure that the form language that we are developing now – and starting this year at the IAA [Munich show] with the first of the Neue Klasse vehicles – will be rolled out over the entire product portfolio, leaving no car behind," BMW head of design, Adrain van Hooydonk, told Autocar.
"Of course, it would not be good for us or for our customers if there would be a new type of BMW and a 'classic' type of BMW. We're going to change the look and feel of the BMW brand."

MG S6 EV breaks cover as new Tesla Model Y rival
After being spied and appearing in a patent filing, MG's new mid-size electric SUV has now been revealed courtesy of the Australian Government. Australian Design Rule certification documents for the MG S6 EV have shown off the exterior of the new Tesla Model Y rival for the first time, ahead of its local launch during the first half of 2026. According to the ADR filing, it measures 4708mm long, 1912mm wide and 1664mm tall on a 2835mm wheelbase. Running clearance is 190mm. That makes the MG S6 EV 84mm shorter than the top-selling Model Y and 70mm narrower. There's a choice of 62.2kWh and 77kWh batteries, and single-motor rear-wheel drive or dual-motor all-wheel drive configurations. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car. Click here to get a great deal. The styling has a distinct familial resemblance to other MG electric vehicles (EVs) such as the MG 4 hatch, the MG S5 EV small SUV, and the Cyberster sports car, with a split front bumper treatment, aggressively angled headlights, and no traditional grille. In contrast to the MG S5 EV, there's a smoother rear-end treatment featuring a more gently curved tailgate and conservative full-width light bar. No interior photos are shown in these approval documents. The range opens with what's referred to in the documents as the 62.2kWh RWD TL1, which produces 151kW of power. These government approval documents don't typically list torque figures. It weighs 1900kg and is capable of towing up to 1500kg braked, and rides on 19- or optional 20-inch alloy wheels. Stepping up to the larger 77kWh battery gets you a more powerful 180kW electric motor in the two rear-wheel drive variants, listed as TL1 and TL2. Unusually, tare mass actually drops down to 1880kg in the TL1, but it's 1911kg in the TL2. Towing capacity and wheel sizes are unchanged from the smaller-battery variant. To get all-wheel drive, you have to choose the larger battery and 20-inch alloy wheels. ABOVE: MG S5 EV, Cyberster This variant features a 119kW front electric motor and 180kW rear unit for a total system output of 266kW. Unusually only a TL1 variant is listed. That appears to suggest there's no way to get the larger battery in up-spec guise with all-wheel drive. The dual-motor MG S6 EV weighs 2005kg. The MG S6 EV isn't the only new EV coming to Australian MG showrooms, with the larger, more premium IM5 liftback and IM6 SUV – from MG parent SAIC Motor's IM Motor brand – also landing this year. By the end of this year, MG will have five EVs on offer in Australia, and next year's MG S6 EV launch will bring the count to six.

Cupra Leon Sportstourer PHEV here in October with 120km EV range
Cupra Australia is part of the #SaveTheWagons clan, with the Leon Sportstourer slated for an October arrival as part of the facelifted Leon range in Australia. Head of product Jeff Shafer confirmed the local range will kick off with the 200kW VZe plug-in hybrid, with the 245kW VZx with all-wheel drive due in the early stages of 2026. Mr Shafer cited "technical reasons" for the delayed launch of the VZx, though said the Spanish brand is excited to go against the grain and offer a sporty wagon in a market where options are next to none. "Wagons are a niche in Australia, there's no doubt about it. But I think they also appeal to a really devoted fan base," Mr Shafer told CarExpert. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car. Click here to get a great deal. "I think in some ways [we're bringing it in] because we can. At Cupra, we have a bit of leeway to be a little bit daring." However, Mr Shafer said the Leon Sportstourer isn't likely to be a hit with fleets as has often been the case with station wagons. As for price point, Mr Shafer wouldn't be drawn to confirm a figure for the Leon Sportstourer VZe, but did hint that it would be logical to assume the wagon-bodied Leon will be "just a little above" the equivalent hatchback. While the updated Leon Hatch at this stage will only get the lower-tune 150kW PHEV in early 2026, the outgoing Leon Hatch VZe with the 180kW PHEV system – the predecessor to the 200kW version – wears a retail price of $61,690 before on-road costs. Factor in the usual wagon premium of $2000-$3000, and you can see where the Sportstourer VZe might end up. The VZe will use the 200kW/400Nm 1.5 e-Hybrid PHEV drivetrain, the more powerful of the two offered globally. Driving the front wheels via a six-speed 'DSG' dual-clutch automatic, the Leon Sportstourer PHEV claims a 7.3-second 0-100km/h sprint as well as 120-124km of electric driving range (WLTP) from its 25.8kWh (gross) battery pack. Fans of the old Golf R Wagon meanwhile, will love the VZx's 245kW/420Nm turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with all-wheel drive, shared with the refreshed VW Golf R and Audi S3. It'll crack 100km/h from standstill in 4.9 seconds. Perhaps most important to note is the boot space, a key differentiator between the Leon Sportstourer and Leon Hatch. Petrol versions quote 620 litres (versus 380L), while the PHEVs offer 470 litres (versus 270L). Stay tuned to CarExpert for all the latest Leon Sportstourer updates in the lead-up to its October arrival!
