AshleyJul 24, 2024, 03:56 PM

The all-new BMW X3 will be on the market soon, and there will be two engines to choose from, but unfortunately, the new vehicle will not offer the X3M model, which is known for its performance. The purpose of this is to make room for the high-performance electric SUV iX3M, codenamed ZA5.

The all-new BMW X3 is built on a new platform and uses a 48V hybrid system. There are two engines for consumers to choose from. If you are passionate about internal combustion engines, you can also choose the X3 M50 version. This car is equipped with a 3.0T turbocharged engine, which is known as the B58 engine, with a 48V light hybrid system.

The new iX3M will use BMW's latest pure electric platform - Neue Klasse, the maximum output of this platform can reach 1341 horsepower. According to BMW's consistent style, excellent driving quality still exists, so this car is still worth looking forward to.

Looking at the entire market of high-performance luxury midsize SUVs, sales of all models are shrinking, including the Porsche Macan, which is gradually moving towards electrification. Therefore, for those who want to buy high-performance luxury SUVs should really seize the opportunity.
