Will the BMW X3M model be phased out? What's going on?

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.

Perodua Traz VS Ativa, which one is more worth buying?

Traz, as a newly launched mid-sized SUV, offers more spacious room and mainstream power compared to small SUVs, but its pricing appears slightly higher than that of Ativa. Ativa, on the other hand, is Perodua's long-time best-selling small SUV with more affordable pricing and a balanced combination of power and tech features.

Will the Toyota Yaris Cross come to Malaysia? If it comes, how much will it sell for?

The launch of Perodua Traz indicates that the market size of small SUVs in Malaysia has been expanding in recent years. However, the question naturally shifts back to Toyota. As a brand with the most comprehensive product line and a strong foundation in both the SUV and hybrid sectors, will Toyota choose the Yaris Cross to participate in this small SUV competition?

Perodua Traz VS Toyota Yaris Cross, where does the Traz fall short?

Perodua Traz VS Toyota Yaris Cross, where does the Traz fall short?

Before the official launch of the Perodua Traz, market expectations were actually very high because it shares the same DNGA platform as the Toyota Yaris Cross. However, sharing the same platform does not equate to the same experience, and the Traz's final performance has indeed been disappointing. Perhaps it is precisely because of the delayed launch that it has almost no competitiveness in the current competitive environment.

Why is the Toyota Sienna so popular with so many people?

In Malaysia, most family MPVs choose Toyota Alphard, Vellfire, or Kia Carnival. These models each have their advantages in luxury, space, or brand influence, but models that truly balance large space, multifunctional practicality, fuel efficiency, and reliability are rarely seen.
