BMW is reportedly working on a rugged new SUV designed to take on the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
Codenamed “G74” the model will be built on the next-generation X5 platform and could potentially replace the XM as BMW’s flagship SUV.
Expected to debut in 2029, it’s set to feature a boxy design and serious off-road performance.

The grill looks aweful!!
This is just a render probably from the guys who shared this info😬
The new design theory which has the glow kidney grille is slowly being incorporated in most of the models.
Not an easy task to take on OG G Wagon. Performance wise it could be great as BMW are known for engines, but build quality has to be addressed.
**PS : I like BMW more than Merc.
Mercedes-Benz is in talks with BMW to use its 2.0-liter B48 petrol engine in upcoming models, including the CLA, GLA, GLB, C-Class, E-Class, GLC and the new compact “Little G” SUV. The engine already meets Euro 7 standards and works well in plug-in hybrid systems, making it a practical option as Mercedes looks to strengthen its hybrid range.
Production would likely take place at BMW’s Steyr plant in Austria, with a possible U.S. facility under discussion. An agreement could be announced before the end of 2025, and the first Mercedes models using BMW engines may reach the market in 2027.

Merc Luxury with BMW Engines, that's a great combination.
