A slightly ascending bonnet, short front overhangs and wedge shape of the silhouette provide additional visual cues to the vehicle’s superior driving dynamics. The plug-in hybrid version of the BMW X3 can be identified with the charging port behind the left front wheel.

While dimensions of the new locally assembled variants remain unchanged, the New BMW X3 will now sport a modified range of alloy wheels in up to 20 inches in size, as well as full-LED taillights with three-dimensional contouring along the sides, and new, larger tailpipes.

The M Sport Package, available as standard in the new variants of the BMW X3 offers noticeably upgraded equipment levels, with a streamlined range of vehicle configurations. These can be seen in the larger air intakes and specific front aprons in both models, along with new colour offerings, rims, and interior trim finishers.

The New BMW X3 will arrive in two petrol variants – the sDrive20i and xDrive30i, along with a PHEV variant with the xDrive30e.

Alternatively, the New BMW X3 xDrive30e combines the range of an internal combustion engine (ICE) with a powerful electric motor and battery with a gross capacity of 12kWh to enable a range of up to 50 kilometres (WLTP) in all-electric mode – offering an uncompromisingly sporty driving experience with lower emission output.

The low centre of gravity, 50/50 axle distribution, advanced chassis and xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive system ensure that the New BMW X3 variants are among the most dynamic vehicles in their segment, while still offering a high level of ride comfort.

Owners of the New BMW X3 will be able to choose between an all-wheel drive version as offered via the New BMW X3 xDrive30i and BMW X3 xDrive30e, or a rear-wheel drive as offered via the New BMW X3 sDrive20i – both featuring the M Sport suspension with specific sprint and damper tuning for even more dynamic handling.

The BMW Live Cockpit Plus with black panel technology, analogue circular dials and a 5.1-inch display in the instrument cluster perfectly complements the inside of the New BMW X3 sDrive20i, whilst the rest are fitted with the BMW Live Cockpit Professional as standard.

All new variants of the New BMW X3 and BMW X4 are powered by the BMW Operating System 7, the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant and a wide range of optional BMW Connected packages. Over-the-air Remote Software Upgrades ensure the vehicles are always running the latest software.
