The all-new X3 smoothly turns the volume up on BMW’s small luxury SUV. India launch likely early 2018
The BMW X3 is a tough SUV to drive. In the context of it being the all-new entrant that represents the third generation of BMW’s small SUV, that is. Because outside of the optics, the changes are subtle and can be hard to spot. But on the flip side, that’s a good thing because the old X3 was no slouch at all in most ways.
NEW BITS AND BOBS
The design of the X3 is obviously new. Still very much a BMW SUV, the new kidney grille looks smart and the new LED details inside the headlamps look fresh. The kidney grille has the shutters that close for aerodynamics. This grille, changes to the roof spoiler and a nearly fully clad underbody give the new X3 a drag coefficient of just 0.29. The tail lights are also large, ornate LED units and unlike most other cars, BMW has now taken to shaping the light units which looks interesting from some angles.
