BMW is expanding its lineup with a new Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) tailored specifically for the Chinese market. The new BMW X3, built exclusively in China for China, now offers an extended wheelbase for the first time, delivering enhanced legroom and an exceptionally comfortable rear-seat experience. This premium mid-range SAV features a luxurious interior with an array of standard equipment designed to cater to the unique preferences of Chinese customers.
The latest BMW iDrive, based on BMW Operating System 9, brings a suite of digital services and BMW Digital Premium content tailored to the needs of Chinese drivers. The vehicle’s design, technology, and equipment have been meticulously developed to meet the high standards of discerning Chinese consumers.
Luxurious Design and Comfort
Produced at the state-of-the-art Lydia plant in Shenyang, the new BMW X3 boasts impressive dimensions, making it the largest in its competitive class. With an exterior length of 4,865 millimeters and a width of 1,920 millimeters, the X3 commands a striking presence. Its long roofline and dynamic silhouette are complemented by BMW Iconic Glow contour lighting for the radiator grille, standard across both model variants.
The extended wheelbase of 2,975 millimeters—an increase of 110 millimeters over global versions—enhances interior space and comfort. Inside, the BMW Curved Display, BMW Interaction Bar, and high-quality materials create a sophisticated environment. Standard features include Veganza comfort seats in three two-tone colors, “Crafted Clarity” glass applications, and a panoramic glass roof with optional skylounge lighting.
A New Chapter for BMW in China
With its modern design and advanced digital features, the new BMW X3 is set to build on the success of its predecessor, which was BMW’s top-selling vehicle worldwide in 2023. In China, the BMW X3 has proven immensely popular, with approximately 156,000 units delivered in the past year, representing around 40 percent of BMW’s X model sales in the country.
As the fourth-generation BMW X3, the Shenyang-produced model incorporates an extended wheelbase and tailored equipment options, following the success of locally produced BMW X1 and BMW X5. This new version is poised for continued success in the world’s largest automotive market, offering an unparalleled driving experience for Chinese consumers.
