BMW X3 details were reveled ahead of the launch. Know what can we expect from the 4th Generation.
BMW is gearing up for the global debut of the fourth-generation BMW X3, with some exciting new details surfacing about this highly anticipated SUV. Set to be larger, sleeker, and more dynamic than its predecessor, the new X3 is poised to make a significant impact in the SUV market. Here’s a closer look at what the upcoming X3 has in store.
BMW X3 Improved Aerodynamics and Enhanced Performance
The new BMW X3 boasts a reduced drag coefficient, down from 0.29 to an impressive 0.27, which is expected to enhance fuel efficiency. The SUV’s dimensions have not been officially revealed yet, but it is anticipated to surpass the previous model’s 4.7m length and nearly 1.9m width.
BMW X3 Dynamic Design and Advanced Features
While official images of the new X3 are still under wraps, BMW has hinted at a more dynamic and comfortable driving experience compared to the outgoing G01 generation. The new X3 (codenamed G45) is expected to feature a wider track and reduced lift at the rear axle, improving rigidity and providing a more engaging drive.
BMW X3 Advanced Chassis and Safety Features
The new X3 will offer an adaptive chassis with electronically controlled shock absorbers, enhancing ride quality and comfort. The SUV will also incorporate the latest safety and driver assistance technology, aiming for top scores in Euro NCAP crash tests.
Interior and Powertrain Innovations
While details about the interior are limited, the new X3 is expected to feature a more streamlined design with fewer physical buttons, focusing on touchscreen functionality for accessing various functions. Rumors suggest that the X3 M variant may be replaced by a high-performance M50 model, and BMW may streamline its petrol engine lineup by removing the ‘i’ designation.
Hybrid and Electric Options
The new X3 is set to offer a plug-in hybrid variant, likely named the X3 xDrive30e, featuring an upgraded battery pack for increased all-electric range. Additionally, the X3 EV, previously known as the iX3, will undergo a generation change, moving to the Neue Klasse platform for improved performance and efficiency.
BMW X3 in India
While there’s no official word on the new X3’s launch in India, BMW has been actively updating its lineup in the country. The current third-gen X3, priced from Rs 68.5 lakh, offers both diesel and petrol variants. BMW India is also gearing up to introduce the all-new 5 Series and i5 in the Indian market, indicating a strong commitment to the country’s SUV and electric vehicle segments.
