The next generation BMW X5 was just caught testing for the first time a few days ago, but once the beast is let out of its cage, there's no way it's going back. Unfortunately, this round of testing still has the future X5 under extreme camouflage, but a few new details were still let out.

The next X5->ke326 is rumored to make its world debut in 2014 at the Detroit Auto Show and, like most of SUVs, will come forward with an improved fuel consumption and a reduction in weight of about 330 lbs. BMW->ke178 will be achieving this with the use of all their latest technology.

A first for the X5 will be the availability of two new four-cylinder engines, but the most powerful version will still be powered by its usual 4.4 liter V8 engine. The only difference is that the V8 engine will feature improved figures and an improved fuel economy. A plug-in hybrid version has also been rumored.

More details will be unveiled in the coming months, so stay tuned!
