In the luxury brand camp, German BBA has an unshakable position and is highly sought after by Chinese consumers. With the improvement of national living standards, luxury brands are no longer out of reach. Take the SUV market, which has been particularly hot in recent years, as an example. Audi Q5L, Mercedes-Benz GLC and BMW X3 all have extremely high sales and popularity. Among them, the BMW X3, which is both sporty and luxurious, is the representative of luxury mid-size SUVs in many people's minds.
The new BMW X3 adopts BMW’s family-like design style in its appearance. The lines are very tough and it looks very grand. The size of the "double kidney" grille has become larger than that of the old model, and it even looks like an X5 from a distance. Among them, the sports suit version adopts a large area of ??blackened design on the lower part of the front face, which is more popular among young people.
The headlights on both sides use full LED light sources. When the angel-eye LED daytime running lights are lit, they are very eye-catching. However, this time the headlights are not opened to the corners of the eyes, which also makes the front face look wider.
The body size of the BMW X3 is 4717*1891*1689mm, and the wheelbase is 2864mm, which is a good level in its class. The side is simple and elegant, and the tough waistline design is well integrated with the sunken front. The overall body presents a swooping posture, and combined with the shark gill decoration, it creates a strong sense of sportiness.
In order to retain its long-standing sports genes, the new BMW X3 still does not choose an "extended" design, and the tires are also equipped with real "hard goods", using F1 tires from the high-end brand Goodyear.
This set of tires perfectly inherits Goodyear's top "black technology" in the F1 arena. As the only brand in the industry that can use "F1" as a tire trademark, Goodyear has helped drivers win the championship 368 times in the F1 arena. A brilliant record, it is still more than twice that of the second tire manufacturer. At the same time, this tire is also the best example of integrating racing technology into civilian tires. Decades of accumulated track experience have created the F1 series' super strong grip and precise control, with extremely excellent performance.
In the interior, in addition to retaining BMW's classic design style, the BMW X3 also adds a full LCD instrument panel and a large-sized suspended central control screen, which to a certain extent improves the quality of the vehicle's interior. A sense of technology. In addition, the new X3 is also very good in terms of workmanship and materials. Almost all the places that can be touched by the hand are wrapped in soft materials, which is extremely comfortable to the touch. It is worth mentioning that the xDrive25i version of this entry-level model can also be equipped with welcome lights and 11-color ambient lighting in the car, which costs 3,000 yuan.
The space of the BMW X3 is indeed the most complained about area, but the actual experience is still good, at least it is definitely enough for home use. Sitting in the back row, there will be no obvious feeling of crowding whether on the top of your head or on your legs. Moreover, the rear air-conditioning outlets, headrests and central armrest are all equipped, and the rear seats are also very flat when folded down, making it highly practical. The seats are indeed on the hard side, which slightly affects comfort.
In terms of power, the BMW X3 is equipped with 2.0T engines with three powers, including 184 horsepower for the 25i model, 224 horsepower for the 28i model, and 252 horsepower for the 30i model. They are matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Integrated gearbox, all series come standard with xDrive four-wheel drive system. The 25i is sufficient for home use, and the 30i is powerful but expensive. Overall, the 28i model is the most balanced.
In general, the BMW X3 is a very comprehensive model. After being made in China, the BMW X3 has a more fashionable appearance. At the same time, it does not adopt an elongated design like its competitors in the same class to ensure its insistence on sports control. I believe this is one of the reasons why the BMW X3 has always been loved by everyone. Of course, it would be even more satisfying if the discounts could be bigger!
