BMW unveils the third-generation X3
A small-capacity petrol engine, an M Performance version and various semi-autonomous driving technologies are the highlights of BMW's 2018 X3.
This all-new SUV – which arrives at UK dealers in November – will be offered with a choice of SE, xLine or M Sport trim grades. As standard, all have LED headlights, satellite navigation, Park Assist, leather upholstery, three-zone climate control and an eight-speed Steptronic transmission.
While the initial engine line-up is being limited to a couple of diesel units, they're going to be joined later by a 2.0 litre, four-cylinder, turbocharged petrol alternative. There's no word yet on whether a plug-in hybrid powertrain is coming, though.
In addition, the M40i variant is the undisputed range-topper. As well as an M Performance 3.0 litre, six-cylinder, turbocharged petrol motor, it boasts unique bumpers, upgraded brakes, recalibrated suspension and 20” lightweight alloy wheels.
Driver assistance is provided via a suite of functions known as BMW Personal CoPilot. With the right options specified, an X3 can now monitor and control its own acceleration, braking and steering when travelling along a multi-lane highway. Furthermore, several traffic warning systems are available.
If things do go wrong, then a built-in SIM card and Intelligent Emergency Call can automatically summon assistance and declare where an incident has occurred.
