BMW reveals the new X3, X3 M, X4 and X4 M

BMW has revealed the brand-new X3 and X4. Both models have had a sportier refresh, with new styling and infotainment. The launch of the new models will be released to the UK market in September 2021, with production beginning August 2021.

Exterior

The new BMW kidney grille is much larger than before. The grille is finished in pearlescent chrome and the grille bars are satin-finished aluminium. Front headlights feature full-LED technology and can be darkened with inserts as an option. BMW Last Light with a range of 650 metres is available as an optional upgrade. Both models include new front and rear bumpers, taillights, and revised exhaust trims.

Interior

The interior of the new BMW X3 has a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen with a control panel. While the X4 has a twin 12.3-inch display screen, which is an optional extra in the X3. Further features included navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto connectivity, and active blind-spot detection.

Both models have been modernised with sport seats with SensaTec upholstery, available with a black, beige, cognac, or red interior with optional leather seats in black, oyster, or mocha. Also, automatic air conditioning with three-zone control comes as standard – separating temperature settings for the driver, passenger, and the rear passengers. The load volume of the new BMW X3 is 550 litres but can be increased to 1,600 litres with the rear seats down. The new BMW X4 holds 525 litres, with a maximum of 1,430 litres.

The BMW X4 includes a panoramic sunroof, M Sport suspension, and BMW’s Cockpit Professional. BMW’s Premium package contains a heated steering wheel, heated front, and rear seats, heads-up display, panoramic sunroof, and gesture control are available to all the X3 and X4 models.

BMW X3 & X4 M Competition models.

In addition to the new X3 and X4, BMW has launched their new X3 M and X4 M Competition models. Both include more power to increase adrenaline for consumers even further. The updated range has a fresh new design that will undoubtingly turn heads. Both models have a powerful in-line six-cylinder petrol engine, with an estimated acceleration of 62 mph in only 3.8 seconds. In addition to the Carbon Black metallic and Brooklyn Grey metallic, brand new colours have been added to the range. Marina Bay Blue metallic and Sao Paulo Yellow are exclusive to the X3 M and X4 M, with additional paint finishes available.

Further new features include a larger BMW kidney grille with a vehicle-specific logo: X3 M or X4 M, along with a front-facing iCam lens which provides visual separation of the BMW kidney grille. The M Sport exhaust system provides drivers with a distinctive engine sound, but also allows for day-to-day practicality.

Furthermore, the M xDrive all-wheel-drive system improves the overall traction of the car, which connects to the Dynamic Stability Control system (DSC). All at the touch of a singular button, the driver can influence the distribution of drive torque between the front and rear wheels.

Driving Assistant Professional is available for the first time for the BMW X3 M and BMW X4 M Competition. It includes Active Cruise Control, additional city braking functions, emergency lane assistant, and steering/lane guidance assist. Drivers have 3D visualisation to provide an overview of which systems are activated and what functions they offer.

UK customer deliveries are expected to commence September 2021.
