2014 was the last facelift. It was probably therefore rather time for the new X3, because Audi's new Q5 is already on the road. This BMW will do this not before the end of the year. What is new to him is shown in the pictures above. What you can not see is the platform of the X5/X7, in the future for the X3 as the smallest model.

Apparently, the platform is as variable as of other manifacturers, because the X5 has again 7 cm more wheelbase, although the new X3 has got 5 cm more. The X5 is 17 cm longer. Interesting, that for the X5 exactly this performance level of the M40i with its gasoline engines is widely missing.

In the X3, the overhangs have remained the same, which means that the extended wheelbase is likely to benefit the rear seats rather than the luggage compartment. Otherwise, the car is a little bit wider and even slightly higher. The c_W-value has been improved, but hardly not for this sporty variant shown here.

A total of three gasoline and two diesel are already established. Indicated this time are only X3 with four-wheel drive. It is hard to believe that there is not yet one to lower the price limit of currently 44,000 euros. After all, there was such a one as predecessor and there is also in the X5, but there from 60,000 euros.10/17
