Boasting greater sporting appeal, visual impact, and versatility than ever, the new BMW X3 assumes the mantle of a talented all-rounder for everyday use, leisure activities, and trips away in the brand’s core segment. A new design language gives the fourth generation of this Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) much enhanced exterior presence and an aura of dynamic grace. High-quality materials, a far more generous standard specification, advanced digitalisation, and the new BMW iDrive with QuickSelect based on BMW Operating System 9 set the tone for the premium ambiance inside the progressively designed cabin. Driving pleasure, safety, and long-distance comfort in the new BMW X3 benefit from the precise tuning of the overall vehicle setup and a wide selection of semi-automated driving and parking systems.
Efficiency and Dynamic Performance
The new BMW X3 heralds major improvements in efficiency and dynamic performance with its wide-ranging model line-up. The portfolio includes not just highly efficient petrol and diesel engines but also a latest-generation plug-in hybrid system. The new BMW X3 30e xDrive plug-in hybrid achieves an electric range of 81–90 kilometres (50–56 miles) in the WLTP cycle, offering an efficient and eco-friendly driving option. Meanwhile, the BMW X3 M50 xDrive M Performance model provides a powerful drive with 293 kW/398 hp, delivering a compelling blend of power and efficiency.
A Fresh Design Language
A new design language for the exterior helps to give the fourth generation of the BMW X3 an almost monolithic overall appearance with distinctive BMW X model proportions. The new BMW X3 is 34 millimeters longer than its predecessor, while its width has increased by 29 millimeters. Together with the 25-millimeter drop in vehicle height and wider tracks, this produces a very powerful and sporty look. The large BMW kidney grille, a new structure for the grille interior, and optional BMW Iconic Glow contour lighting add fresh touches to the design.
Advanced Interior Features
Inside, the new BMW X3 blends robust SAV functionality with ample spaciousness and a premium ambiance full of individual style. The BMW Curved Display, BMW Interaction Bar, and new-look gear selector lever are defining elements of the cockpit’s modern, driver-focused design. The interior offers generous space and modern versatility, with load space increasing from 570 to a maximum of 1,700 liters. The cabin features high-quality materials, including newly designed electrically adjustable and heated sport seats upholstered in Econeer, with surfaces and cushioning made from secondary material.
Cutting-Edge Technology
The new BMW X3 comes equipped with the latest version of BMW iDrive with QuickSelect, providing intuitive and easy control. This system is based on BMW Operating System 9, which paves the way for a customisable selection of additional digital services. The new BMW iDrive is geared towards touch and voice control, enhancing the user experience. The BMW Digital Premium package offers an array of digital services, including music and video streaming options, in-car gaming, and digital payment of parking fees.
Performance and Handling
The new BMW X3 models are equipped with 48V mild hybrid technology, enhancing efficiency and power delivery. The BMW X3 20 xDrive and BMW X3 20d xDrive feature four-cylinder engines, while the range-topping BMW X3 M50 xDrive boasts a powerful six-cylinder engine. All models come with an eight-speed Steptronic transmission and BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive as standard. The new BMW X3 also offers increased agility, cornering stability, and long-distance comfort, thanks to a body with lower weight but increased rigidity and high-quality chassis components.
Safety and Driver Assistance
The new BMW X3 offers a far more extensive range of standard and optional systems for semi-automated driving and parking. Standard features include front collision warning, Lane Departure Warning, Speed Limit Info, and Driving Assistant. The Parking Assistant, which incorporates features such as the Reversing Assistant and a Reversing Assist Camera, is also standard. Optional systems include the Steering and Lane Control Assistant and automatic Speed Limit Assist.
Conclusion
The new BMW X3 continues the success story that began 20 years ago, combining modern design, advanced technology, and powerful performance. With its wide-ranging model line-up, efficient powertrains, and enhanced features, the BMW X3 remains a leading choice in the premium midsize SAV segment. The new BMW X3 will be built at BMW Group Plant Spartanburg (USA) and Plant Rosslyn (South Africa) and will launch in Europe and the USA in the fourth quarter of 2024, with other markets following from January 2025.
