The all-new 2018 BMW X3 has been officially revealed, bringing a new-generation overhaul to the Bavarian manufacturer's popular mid-sized SUV. Measuring 4708mm long, 1891mm wide and 1676mm tall, the new-generation X3 is 60mm longer, 10mm wider and 1mm taller than its predecessor. Meanwhile, the new car's 2864mm wheelbase is a 54mm gain on the old version.

The X3 also retains its forebear's relatively high 204mm ground clearance - making it somewhat more off-road capable than the modern crop of luxury SUVs. In terms of its overall design, the X3 borrows elements from numerous BMW models, including the larger X5, smaller X1 and even the new 5 Series. Up front is the latest take on the company's double kidney grille, shaped with now more-elliptical headlight units with full-LED bulbs, along with a new LED daytime-running light signature. There's also a new strip of LED fog-lights which replace the old car's circular units.
Out the back, there's hints of the X1 and X5, though the X3 gets uniquely-shaped LED tail-lights to further distinguish it from its stablemates. All engine variants also get dual tailpipe outlets too, compared to the outgoing generation's single exhaust tip for just about every model. Filling the arches are a selection of new alloy wheel designs, ranging from 18 to 21 inches in diameter, while a more tapered roofline gives the new X3 an athletic and sleek side profile. Inside is where the most distinct changes have occurred. Gone is the dated interior layout from BMWs of last decade, replaced by a cockpit very similar to that of the latest 5 Series. Up front there's a new driver's information cluster with digital instruments, a new floating touchscreen infotainment system with the latest version of iDrive and gesture control, new steering wheel designs and a selection of new trims and materials.
Three model line packages are available to give the X3 a more distinguished look inside and out; xLine, Luxury Line, and M Sport. The xLine version gets a more off-road inspired look, with front and rear skid plates, matte-aluminium exterior trim highlights and 'xLine' sill trims.Opting for the classier Luxury Line package switches out the matte-aluminium exterior trims for shinier chrome, wood interior trims, and 'Luxury Line' door sill finishers. Finally, the M Sport package gets the M Aerodynamics body kit, alloy wheel designs up to 21-inches (rather than 20 for the other two), M Sport brakes and suspension, along with high-gloss black exterior highlights. Inside, the M Sport version gets a unique steering wheel, 'M Sport' door sill plates and M Sport seats.The X3 also offers the suite of BMW Personal CoPilot semi-autonomous driver assistance systems, which includes active cruise control with stop & go function, steering and lane control assistant, and lane change assistant.
