BMW's new X3 spy photos exposed, may be officially released in the first half of the year

The BMW Group today released the official "spy photos" of the new generation X3 (codenamed G45), indicating that this model will be officially unveiled in the near future. According to information released by BMW, the new X3 is expected to be launched in the North American market first this month.

This new car is built on the CLAR platform, which is a "co-linear oil and electricity" platform that has successfully hatched outstanding products such as the BMW 3 Series and i3. BMW has launched a new pure electric platform Neue Klasse, and the next generation BMW i3 will be produced based on this new platform.

According to the official spy photos, the new-generation X3 is equipped with a wider kidney-shaped grille, but its design style is relatively restrained and does not go the exaggerated "nostril-glaring" route of some BMW models. . In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new X3 are 4755/1920/1676mm respectively, and the wheelbase remains at 2865mm, which is the same as the current model. However, compared with the current model, the new car is 42mm longer, 23mm wider and 16mm lower in height, which reduces the drag coefficient from 0.29Cd to 0.27Cd.

#The data editor learned that the internal space of the new BMW X3 has also been improved, and the trunk volume can reach 570L. If the rear seats are folded down, you can get a huge space of up to 1700L.

The new X3 will have a variety of options. The plug-in hybrid version is expected to be equipped with a combination of 2.0T engine and motor, with a maximum power of 292 horsepower and a pure electric cruising range of 63 kilometers. The high-performance version is expected to be equipped with a 3.0T inline six-cylinder engine, with a maximum power of 401 horsepower, and may be named "M50". Unlike previous naming conventions, this time the name may no longer contain the letter "i" for fuel injection.
