2025 BMW X3 Coming Soon

The premiere of the fourth generation BMW X3 is approaching, and now we have photos so we can have an idea of what it will look like. The Bavarians hope that the new generation will continue the path of its predecessor, which in 2023 was the best-selling model of this car company with 350,000 units sold.

The car is still in the testing phase, and the published photos of the camouflaged car do not reveal much. What can be noticed in the photos is that the new generation is slightly lower but also wider than the previous one. The body was strengthened and the aerodynamics were increased, which reduced the air resistance (0.27 instead of 0.29), and reduced fuel consumption. The plug-in version (X30e) comes with a revised suspension and steering system that will ensure even better driving characteristics without sacrificing comfort. Electronically monitored adaptive shock absorbers will also be optional.

What we know so far about this car is that it will be powered by turbo petrol and turbo diesel engines assisted with mild and plug-in hybrid systems. The most powerful version will be the M50 instead of the current M40i, and this model will also be the first to no longer have the letter “i” in the turbo-petrol version. The letters “d” and “e” remain in the designations for turbodiesel and hybrid versions.

The first deliveries of the new generation X3 model are expected by the end of 2024, and for 2025, BMW has announced the arrival of the fully electric iX3. It’s part of a big plan that BMW recently unveiled, which includes 40 new cars by the end of the decade. Soon we can expect the new BMW X5, and everyone who had an insight into the current development of these models says that they are really attractive cars.

At the beginning of April, BMW reached an agreement with Rimac Technology, which will develop and produce high-voltage battery systems for BMW Group vehicles, which will be used in future models. Mate Rimac, CEO of Rimac Automobili, did not hide his excitement about this collaboration, and posted on his Facebook profile: “For me, it all started with a BMW from 1984, which I started to convert to electric drive in 2008. At that time, it was my dream to work for BMW. This collaboration marks a key moment in the growth of Rimac Technology and is a clear sign of the transition from a high performance product provider for small series models (like Aston Martin Valkyrie, Pininfarina Battista, Rimac Nevere etc.) to a high capacity manufacturer for projects like this one with the BMW Group,” said Rimac.

The last Bizzarrini 5300 GT Revival

Between 1964 and 1968, the Italian automotive manufacturer Bizzarrini produced its most successful model, the Bizzarrini 5300 GT. It is a low slung, two-seat coupé and track-tuned racer, which was produced in only 133 copies. In 1965, a Bizzarrini Grifo won its class at Le Mans, and in his honor the company decided to present the Revival Edition series, which finally came to an end with the last produced example.

“The Bizzarrini 5300 GT Corsa Revival is intended to reintroduce the Bizzarrini brand to the elite of the automotive world. Since completing the first car 24 months ago, we have worked tirelessly to deliver authentic and perfect Revival models to the world’s most passionate car collectors. We have reached the end of this chapter and we are ready for the next, and this feels like another significant step on our journey,” said Simon Busby, director of Bizzarrini.

This 5300 GT is finished in Verde Bosco Ventiquatro and is powered by a 5.3-liter V8 engine with 400 hp (298 kW) and a power-to-weight ratio comparable to modern supercars.

“The demand for this car and the interest in our future plans is exactly the reaction that we feel the Bizzarra brand, associated with one of the greatest automotive engineers and designers of all time, really deserves. Now our attention turns to the development of the Giotto model, in order to deliver a car more than worthy of the esteemed name,” said Busby.

2025 Opel Frontera as an electric SUV

The new Opel Frontera has arrived as a fun and spacious SUV. It will be offered as an all-electric version, and customers will also be able to choose a version with a 48-volt hybrid system.

At first glance, the new Frontera reveals a more modern look compared to its predecessor, which was produced between 1991 and 2004. The lines of the front part of the vehicle and the unique proportions combine a functional and spacious cabin with a very contemporary look. Also, the front part is adorned with a new Opel badge, integrated Eco LED headlights with automatic high beams, and a new cooling vent, emphasizing the car’s solid and robust stance. The side design amazes with its contemporary interpretation with three blocks of lights that are separated by inserts in body color, revealing a striking C-pillar that visually separates the spacious cabin. The design of the arches and fenders complete the modern look of the car.

The modern design continues in the interior of the car. The spacious cabin now comes with decorative elements that visually give the feeling of more space. The Pure Panel digital cockpit with two 10-inch screens and a multimedia system for information and entertainment catches the eye upon entering, just like the elegant new steering wheel. Driving comfort is ensured by the Intelli-Seat on the front seats (a groove that reduces pressure on the coccyx), guaranteeing top comfort even during long journeys. The seats are upholstered in sustainable recycled material with contrasting stitching.

Frontera comes with its innovative connectivity system that, after connecting via an app, turns the user’s smartphone into an infotainment control panel that can also work in conjunction with the steering wheel buttons. This connectivity system is optional and comes at an additional cost. Charging mobile devices is easier than ever thanks to the cooled wireless charger and two USB ports in the front and two more USB ports in the second row. Opel also took care of the spacious luggage space, which now offers more than 460 liters, and when the rear seats are lowered, it increases to 1600 liters.

When it comes to the powertrain, the new Opel Frontera comes as a fully electric SUV, and there is also an optional version with a 48-volt hybrid system.
