BMW is launching a new iteration of its popular X3 Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) exclusively for the Chinese market, featuring a longer wheelbase and enhanced interior comfort. This new version, the BMW X3 25L xDrive and BMW X3 30L xDrive, marks the brand’s commitment to catering specifically to the preferences of Chinese consumers.

The extended wheelbase of the new X3 models, increased by 110mm to 2,975mm, significantly enhances rear-seat legroom, providing a more comfortable experience for passengers. The updated BMW X3 boasts an exterior length of 4,865mm and a width of 1,920mm, making it the largest in its competitive segment. The new design incorporates the brand’s latest styling cues with a sleek roofline and modern proportions that reflect BMW’s current design language.

Inside, the BMW X3 offers a luxurious environment with the latest BMW iDrive system based on the BMW Operating System 9. This system includes digital services tailored specifically for the Chinese market. The interior features a BMW Curved Display, BMW Interaction Bar, and a steering wheel with a flattened lower rim. High-quality materials, such as Veganza sports seats and optional “Crafted Clarity” glass applications, contribute to a premium feel. The panoramic glass roof with optional Skylounge lighting adds to the ambience, providing a sophisticated touch to the vehicle’s interior.
