– Debut expected in the coming months
– Could be the last generation to feature ICE
The aging six-year-old BMW X3 is poised for replacement by a completely new generation. The automaker has been conducting tests on the prototype in various settings for some time now, and our most recent encounter occurred in an undisclosed location in Germany. This marks the debut of the new X3 with its final production lighting design.
Notable features include a substantial air intake on the front bumper, flanked by two smaller ones on either side, a more prominent grille, a slightly more curved roofline, seamlessly integrated door handles, and a prominent spoiler at the rear. Inside the cabin, the upcoming X3 will maintain a conventional layout, departing from the avant-garde design showcased by the recent Neue Klasse concept. BMW has offered a glimpse of the interior, which prominently features a curved display unit combining a 14.9-inch infotainment screen with 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.
The next-gen X3 will continue to feature internal combustion engines, and it has been reported that it will be the last of its kind to be fed by fossil fuels. The powertrain family will likely comprise four- and six-cylinder engines, with 2.0 and 3.0-litre displacements, respectively, joined by plug-in hybrids. An all-electric iX3 will join the line-up as the greenest of them all, and sitting at the very top, in terms of performance, will be the X3 M. It is unknown as to when BMW will host the grand unveiling of the all-new X3, but it could debut in a few months. The vehicle is expected to hit the market either as a 2024 or a 2025 model.
