We are seeing a new generation X5 soon, with multiple drivetrains available, improved B58, improved B58 PHEV, S68 V8, EV, hydrogen.
I'm honestly surprised to hear Honda is having a rough time with emissions. Gone are the days of the CVCC engineering first company. Same with Toyota now being a rebadge company ala the dark days of GM.

A lot of us car enthusiasts also forget about cost. Trying to do all of that and sell the hybrid for 60k instead of 90k also makes things a lot more difficult.
The BMW system is good but we're also seeing they have underspent on BMS - Feels like almost 20% of X5 and X3 packs degrade and require cell replacements in the warranty period.
