Recently, the automotive industry have caught a glimpse of the prototypes of the new generation BMW X3 in both regular and M Sport versions. One of the prototypes is equipped with large-sized wheels alongside M-Sport brake calipers, while the other prototype features smaller wheels.
The front fascia of both versions appears to be nearly identical with skillful camouflage layers. However, based on previous models, we are informed that BMW will introduce more powerful and aggressive design elements in the sporty variants.
The combustion engine-powered X3 is reportedly being developed on an older CLAR platform, while the iX3 EV will transition to BMW’s new Neue Klasse platform specifically designed for electric powertrains.
BMW has showcased some Neue Klasse sedan concept models to provide a glimpse of how the first 3-Series utilizing this new Neue Klasse platform will significantly differ from its predecessor. Meanwhile, it appears that the conventionally powered X3 will retain its familiar design language. Its overall proportions are similar to the current model, with the only modern touch being the flat door handles already observed on the younger X1. Additionally, the rear LED cluster seems to resemble the LED lights system on the present X3.
Unfortunately, the interior has not been captured by photographers. According to certain sources, the 2025 X3 will come equipped with an infotainment system similar to the latest BMW models. Based on prior prototype images, the new X3 is expected to incorporate the wide panoramic display screen commonly seen in modern BMWs, which combines a touch center screen and a digital instrument cluster.
The new iDrive 8.5 infotainment system has begun rolling out on certain models, but the X3 may potentially feature the new iDrive 9 system. BMW iDrive 9 brings with it significant upgrades in comparison to the current iDrive 8 and 8.5 systems.
Under the hood, we can expect a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine with hybrid technology to power the majority of the X3 models, although BMW will still provide a 6-cylinder engine option for the M version.
