The all-new BMW X3 is coming! The exterior, interior, and power have been greatly upgraded
Do you know which new car under BMW has the best sportiness and the best reliability? It's not the BMW 3 Series as your friends think, it's actually the BMW X3.
The BMW X3 uses the chassis of the previous generation BMW 3 Series, which has excellent sporty performance and is one of the few new BMW cars that does not have an extended wheelbase. Excellent chassis handling and low failure rate have made the BMW X3 gain many fans in China.
After careful calculation, the current BMW X3 has been sold in China for six or seven years, and it will also undergo a major facelift. So will the newly launched BMW X3 compromise with the market and upgrade to the BMW X3L? Will the power system undergo fundamental changes? And there is also a rumor in the market, that is, the new generation of BMW X3 internal combustion engine will disappear completely in the future, is this the case?
The answers to these mysteries have been revealed, because the overseas version of the new generation BMW X3 has been very fully lifted, let's find out.
It is worth mentioning that the new BMW X3 will not be greatly lengthened, judging from the information exposed so far, the wheelbase is only 2865mm, which is only 1mm longer than the current model, so the sports performance is still the killer feature of the new BMW X3.
The second is that the power system that consumers are more concerned about has indeed undergone a great degree of change. The original 2.0T engine was eliminated and replaced by three different power forms. The entry-level model will be equipped with a 2.0T+48V mild hybrid system. It is also available in a plug-in hybrid version with an electric motor and engine. The third form of power is pure EV power, and the power structure of the all-new BMW X3 has indeed undergone significant changes, and pure gasoline vehicles no longer exist.
The exterior styling design has become a bit similar to the new domestic BMW X5L, the front part of the car has been significantly widened, and the headlights have become more slender, which looks a bit squinting and more spiritual.
The most noticeable side change is that the original mechanical door handle has been eliminated and replaced with a semi-hidden mechanical door handle design similar to that found on the BMW 7 Series. Obviously, this is an attempt to move closer to the era of electrification.
The rear of the model is similar to the current model, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, which further improves the excellent handling performance of the chassis.
The interior design has also undergone significant changes. The separate floating screen on the current model has been eliminated and replaced by a continuous design with a fish screen, and the central control screen, the driving computer screen and the co-pilot entertainment screen have been seamlessly integrated.
The gear shift has also been upgraded to a large extent, and the visual mechanical gear knob has been eliminated and replaced with an electronic front and rear push-pull style design.
Overall, the chassis and handling of the new BMW X3 are still there, so the problem of limited space in the car has not been solved in the new BMW X3. It is clear that the BMW Group is not prepared to sacrifice handling for the sake of sales, so BMW is still very BMW!
