Such a tendency is very traced in the photo of the new model, and in practice.

Below are the characteristics of each motor of the updated crossover. We strongly recommend familiarizing yourself with them:

Suspension

The "chassis" of the updated crossover, the Germans practically did not touch. There is no significant changes in it, and the approach to creating suspension remained almost unchanged. In front of the BMW X3, all the same 2 levers without pneumatics are installed, and the standard "beams" for the concern is installed. In some sets, the manufacturer offers potential owners of the model to establish an adaptive shock absorbing system, otherwise the suspension is completely identical to the old crossovers X3. Given this, we will not consider it in detail.

Safety

Despite the lack of changes in the design of the model, besides its increase, the BMW X3 has become safer. Reached the manufacturer of this at the expense of two aspects:

1. Improving old security systems.
2. Add a couple of new complex assistants for drivers.

All technological innovations give the highest level of security in terms of operation BMW X3 2018. For more information about the electronics used in the model, let's talk a little later.

Exterior

The BMW X3 update touched on all aspects of the model. In contrast to the technical characteristics, the external data of the car has changed global. Let's start considering the new design of the crossover from the exterior. First, we recommend reading the following photos of BMW X3:

He - who is more or less familiar with the work of the Germans, makes it clear on the photo presented standard for them to the design of cars. The exterior of the updated BMW X3 looks just like other modern manufacturer models. Of course, the differences between the crossover from its closest fellow in the autoconecerne is, but the general type of design is similar. All evidence in the photo.

It should be noted that BMW X3 2018 - All the same clear and straight car, Possessing cute and interesting lines in the body. Unlike predecessors, the new crossover has a greater number of "muscles" in the form of embossed ribs.

In the new generation of BMW X3, you can highlight a huge number of exterior innovations. Their consideration will be made gradually. First of all, let's talk about the "front" model. It stands out:

• new acoustic and increased windshield;
• improved optics (headlights based on LEDs and various kinds of new electronics by type of air damper or protection);

• already marked upgrades of optics;
• combined into one double "exhaust";
• sports of bumper.

From the side view of the BMW X3 2018 looks noticeably more than its predecessors. At the same time, a large body relief is traced and an interesting design of smallest things in the face of pens, doors or mirrors. Otherwise - no change.

Note! In the concept of external design, the BMW X3 became noticeably better and more modern. The processing of his design was aimed at improving such with the giving to the crossover some aggressiveness. In principle, the Germans achieve their tasks managed to be perfectly traced at the considered photos.

Interior

The interior design is a competent continuation of the exterior of the model, expressed in the same aggressiveness and a peculiar correctness of the interior design. It combines and convenience for the driver, passengers, and stylistics. The leading role in the design of the cabin plays the use of hexagonal design elements with rounded edges. Naturally, all "interior chips" made of high-quality, pleasant to the eye and the touch of the material. You can get acquainted with the interior of the BMW X3 in the following photos:

In general, with interior design, everything is clear - the style combined with German ergonomics. If the appearance of additional explanations does not require, then the interior functionality is still worth it. Our resource allocated such elements as:

A pair of electronics words of the new crossover

BMW X3 2018 is an innovative car in all senses of the term "innovation". In addition to the thoughtful technical part and excellent species, the crossover has an excellent "filling". If with the pop electronics by the type of multifunctional steering, climate control and panels of control in the Germans, everything was always fine, then they approached some aspects of the optional equipment of the model more than competently.

Separately wants to highlight three electronic systems of the new BMW X3 2018:

1. Autopilot or Co-Pilot, which is one of the best in modern budget fiscal automotive. It works at the updated crossover, it is simply canceled, the errors practically does not allow and allows you to avoid problems with any motorist, if you wish, to distract from the management of the vehicle. All elements of the autopilot system were organically fit into the design of the machine and practically invisible externally. In general, you can only praise BMW for such a good job.
2. Safety represented by numerous electronic buns in the crossover. In all details of the processing of electronics in this regard, there is no need to consider. It is enough to state their significance and innovation, which is confirmed not only by the assurances of BMW X3 engineers, but also by special tests.
3. Optics, which has changed and externally, internally. Perhaps the third generation of crossovers have one of the best and innovative optics of modern automotive industry.

Functional options in the BMW X3 has always been a lot. The configuration "stuffed" in such a way that, without exception, crossover lovers found for themselves the necessary functions. In 2018, the Germans survived themselves, having thought of the electronics of the car to the most minor trifles. It seems that the concern engineers work on the basis of famous aphorism - "nothing is imperfect," and we even grate, at first glance, the ideal components of their cars.

The BMW X3 sales level in the new variation is high and even slightly exceeds the concern's forecasts. The implementation of the crossover comes along the increasing line and prerequisites for the deterioration of the current state of affairs.

The competitive environment at the BMW X3 2018 is insignificant. Large autocontracens such global changes in the rules of their crossovers were not prepared and not prepared, so in the near future the model in question today will be the best among the analogues.

What is the cost what according to the technical specifications marked models similar to the BMW X3 2018However, they still do not reach it. There is no innovation and stylish in appearance. Still, the German crossover more fresh and the other would be expected from him wrong.
