BMW has started assembling CKD kits of the 2018 BMW
X3 at the BMW Group Plant Chennai. The company will launch the all-new BMW X3
in India on 19 April. The latest BMW X3 is the third generation of the premium
mid-size SAV. The BMW X3 has remained largely
unchanged in dimensions. However, it has a five-centimetre-longer wheelbase
compared to its predecessor. It is underpinned by the CLAR platform now and up
to 55 kg lighter than the second generation model.
The 2018 BMW X3 is available in five grades:
Standard, Advantage, xLine, Luxury Line and M Sport. Features like the colour
of the kidney grille and side window graphic, alloy wheel design, interior trim
and seat upholstery are visual differentiators of the grades.
In the fully equipped configurations, full-LED
headlights, kidney grille with active air flap control, LED fog lamps, 21-inch
alloy wheels, LED rear lights, downward-sloping roof spoiler and twin exhaust
tailpipes are the exterior highlights. Main interior features include BMW
Display Key, full-colour head-up display, 12.3-inch fully digital instrument
cluster, 10.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system with gesture control,
three-zone automatic climate control and perforated leather climate seats.
The 2018 BMW X3 could have a starting price of
around INR 50 lakh (ex-showroom).
