As a owner of the PRE LCI F25, i have followed the F26 close. I think the G02 is more mature and more as a stand alone model, than the original was. I like the ass actually, this might be better than expected, which was´t "sky high"...

It actually has a Macan vibe to me, but perhaps that was where Merc got theirs too.

I think that rear is a huge improvement, very very nice looking and this looks to be the top D variant x4M40d wonder if that's the tri Turbo 380hp is updated from the x5m50d

I agree I like it consistent with x6 and possibly x2

I thought the rear was photoshopped at first. Then I come to find out it's not

Too much mixture of Mercedes & Porsche, trying too hard maybe? The front is nice and masculine though.

I would rather bet the M40d is the successor of the current euro bi-turbo 313ps 35d, just like the M40i has already replaced the 35i on the current generation. This bi-turbo diesel packs more than enough punch, the mighty tri-turbo is too heavy, expensive and overkill for the 3/4/X3/X4 models.

I like this ! Rear design is very similar to the GLC coupe which isn't a bad thing to me (flame suit on)

Same it's a lot easier on the eye as a light cluster than the awkward X3

Not a huge fan of the rear end. It looks like they tried to force the 3D look into the taillights.

The design on this.... trying too hard to be unique with the hard line/soft line combo. Ugly is an understatement.
