Leaked! Facelifted BMW X7 With New Split Headlights

As for the car itself, there's another big departure from BMW design. By another, we're of course referring to BMW'srecent penchant for big grillesover the traditionally restrained kidney design it has used in the past. The big departure in question is that of the headlights. They're alittle more Genesis SUVand a little less BMW SUV. The top appears to house the daytime running light, and perhaps a low-beam bulb. That leaves the high beams or fogs to the lower part of the design.

The rest of the front is pretty typical of BMW these days. Big grille? Check. The same U-shaped lower air intake and splitter on just about every BMW since the E46? Also, check.

Bulgy hood with some lines across it? Also, yes. Unfortunately, we don't have leaked photos of the rear, but we expect minor tweaks befitting of a mid-cycle refresh like this. Usually, when photos like this make their way out into the wild, it means a reveal is imminent. However, BMW has been pretty quiet about it. There hasn't been so much of a whisper about the 2023 X7 out of Munich in some time. Who knows? Perhaps people talking a lot about the split-light design will force the Bavarian brand's hand.
