A facelifted BMW X3 is just around the
corner, and these renderings give us a good idea of what it will look like. these renderings strip it away and show what changes have been made. As is
common with mid-cycle refresh models from BMW, the alterations are minimal.
The most obvious point of difference
between the facelifted X3 and the current model are slightly more angular
headlights, somewhat similar to those of the X5. Elsewhere, the renderings show
simplified air intakes up front and what appear to be the same horizontal
daytime running lights as the outgoing model.
At the rear, the new X3 will sport tweaked
taillights that have the same overall shape as the current units but new LED
graphics. In addition, the updated SUV in these renderings from Kolesa has a
more muscular rear bumper than the pre-facelift while also ditching the simple
two round tailpipes in favor of two large rectangular ones.
BMW is not expected to make any powertrain
modifications to the 2022 X3. Consequently, it will continue to be sold with a
range of petrol and diesel engines plus at least one plug-in hybrid. Continuing
to top out the range will be the X3 M that’s powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo
straight-six which is good for 473 hp in standard form and 503 hp in
Competition spec.
