And
now the new BMW X3 is set to write the next chapter in this success
story with three model variants (xLine, M Sport and Luxury Line trim).
BMW X3
The BMW X3 was the car that launched the mid-size SAV (Sports
Activity Vehicle) segment in 2003. Since then, BMW has recorded more
than 1.5 million new registrations of the X3 across the two model
generations so far.
And now the new BMW X3 is set to write the next chapter in this
success story with three model variants (xLine, M Sport and Luxury Line
trim).
The third generation all new BMW X3 follows in its predecessors’
tyre tracks by combining rugged off-road looks with a sporting presence.
Its familiar proportions, including very short front and rear
overhangs, shine the spotlight on the perfect 50:50 distribution of
weight between the front and rear axle.
The potent dynamic intent of the new BMW X3 is highlighted by a
chunky kidney grille and foglamps featuring a hexagonal design for the
first time on a BMW X model. At the rear, the light clusters (whose
three-dimensional look in optional full-LED guise give them considerable
visual impact), markedly downward-sloping roof spoiler and twin exhaust
tailpipes bring matters to a suitably muscular conclusion.
The interior of the new BMW X3 displays unbeatable fit and finish
and material quality, and is even classier and more luxurious than its
predecessor. Comfort levels are further elevated by a host of new
equipment options like three-zone automatic climate control, the Ambient
Air package, active seat ventilation, the cargo function of the
standard 40:20:40 split/folding rear seat backrests and the panoramic
glass roof that brings extra airiness to the interior and further
enhances perceived quality.
Another new equipment item is the optional BMW Display Key, which
not only locks and unlocks the BMW X3 by radio remote control, but also
shows a variety of status information on the car and serves as the
control unit for the optional auxiliary heating, for example. Optimised
combination of dynamic sharpness and ride comfort.
Even more efficient line-up of engines and intelligent lightweight
design. Two diesel engines and three petrol units will be available from
launch (or shortly afterwards) for the new BMW X3. The 360 hp BMW X3
M40i has combined fuel consumption of 34.5 mpg. The BMW X3 xDrive30i
produces 252 hp with combined fuel consumption 38.2 mpg. All the engine
variants will team up as standard with an optimised version of the
eight-speed Steptronic transmission.
BMW ConnectedDrive: semi-automated driving and cutting-edge
connectivity. When it comes to the BMW Personal CoPilot features
focusing on driver assistance and (semi-)automated driving, the new BMW
X3 can be specified as an option with the latest generation of Active
Cruise Control and the Driving Assistant Plus safety package, including
Steering and lane control assistant, Lane Change Assistant and Lane
Keeping Assistant with side collision protection. This extensive line-up
of assistance systems puts clear water between the new BMW X3 and its
direct rivals.
The second pillar of BMW ConnectedDrive – alongside the BMW
Personal CoPilot driver assistance systems – is formed by BMW
ConnectedDrive Services and apps. As a result, the new BMW X3 now also
features BMW Connected. Working on the basis of a flexible platform, the
Open Mobility Cloud, this new integrated digital concept for enhanced
personal mobility uses various touchpoints (such as smartphones and
smartwatches) to integrate the car seamlessly into the user’s digital
life.
This means, for example, that it can transfer mobility-related
information, such as addresses from calendar entries, from a smartphone
into the car, enter them automatically as destinations into the
navigation system and calculate the optimum departure time for the
journey.
Gesture control allows various navigation and infotainment system
functions to be operated intuitively using finger and hand gestures.
Meanwhile, the likewise optional Voice Assistant lets the driver use
everyday language to have their requests turned into the appropriate
actions instead of having to use set spoken commands.
And the optional Head-Up Display enables the most important
driving-related information to be projected directly into the driver’s
field of vision. The Head-Up Display in the new BMW X3 is unrivalled in
its segment for graphics, resolution and display options.
Estimated starting price in Nigeria is N22.6m
