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.
