from stunning designs with outstanding appearance, to cutting-edge technology, to classic models raved by car fans, bmw has always done its best in everything it does.

at the chengdu auto show, the all-new bmw x3 long-wheelbase version made its global debut, and countless car fans were excited by the appearance of the all-new bmw x3 long-wheelbase version.

as the fourth-generation x3 long-wheelbase model, the new car's many intelligent technologies and luxury configurations have been upgraded exclusively for chinese customers, with many surprises. for the first time, the standard wheelbase version has been increased by 110 mm to 2,975 mm, even consistent with the bmw x5 standard wheelbase version. at the same time, the new bmw x3 long-wheelbase version has a body length of 4,865 mm, the longest in its class, and a width of 1,920 mm, the widest in its class, once again refreshing consumers' perception of luxury mid-size suvs.

design iteration

it is actually a testament to technological progress.

the new look is the beginning of the all-new bmw x3 long wheelbase being loved by everyone at the chengdu auto show.

bmw's design style has undergone many changes, always reflecting the changes of the times and consumer needs. the reason why the x3 has become a classic is that it actually represented a new trend, or a new technology, in its early days.

more than 100 years ago, the bauhaus school, which influenced the world's design history, was founded in weimar, germany. its pioneering design concept of "less is more" also laid the foundation for modernism.

one hundred years later, bmw has incorporated the essence of modern minimalism - "less is more" - into the design of the new bmw x3 long wheelbase version, using fewer elements to create a stronger brand recognition. this design principle advocates removing redundancy, returning to the essence, and everything serving the function.

the modern minimalism and rough-cut-like shapes not only create the pure bmw x3's recognition, but also demonstrate bmw's extremely high level of industrial technology.

for example, the criss-crossing geometric lines are inspired by fashion design and racing culture, blending a simple and modern texture while cleverly integrating cameras and radars.

for example, the designers skillfully used fluid mechanics to show the soft and steady mechanical power and the beauty of modern technology under the changes of light and shadow. the precise curves posed a high challenge to the body craftsmanship. this not only demonstrated bmw's forward-looking thinking and innovative spirit in aesthetics, but also proved bmw's comprehensive strength in body materials and engineering manufacturing.

for example, there are china-exclusive rear seats with greater inclination and thicker cushions, a panoramic star-track skylight that is unique in its class, a wireless charging plate on the rear center armrest, and other china-exclusive luxury configurations, all of which reflect bmw's technological innovation in multiple dimensions of materials and craftsmanship.

understand the "driver-centric" approach

everyone says that "bmw cars cannot be difficult to drive." in fact, it is very simple to lengthen the body of the car. however, for bmw, which focuses on control, perhaps the x3 must achieve the best performance in terms of space, design, and control before it can meet consumers.

first of all, the newly upgraded interior design adheres to bmw’s “driver-centric” design concept and uses “technological magic” to empower intelligent and minimalist design.

for example, the integrated floating curved screen is slightly tilted towards the driver's side; the driver-centric design brings a classic mechanical texture, perfectly interpreting bmw's design concept of "keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the steering wheel".

this time, exclusive rear seats, a rear surround light strip and a panoramic skylight unique in its class have been added, making the rear horizontal and vertical space not only spacious but also more luxurious.

in terms of driving control, which bmw is proud of, the new x3 long-axis version is equipped with bmw's "golden power combination". the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 190 kilowatts, combined with an 8-speed manual transmission and bmw xdrive intelligent all-wheel drive system, which can accurately transmit the surging power to the wheels.

not only that, the new bmw x3 long-wheelbase version adopts more advanced chassis technology. with the cooperation of the ninth-generation lateral dynamics management system and the arb-x anti-skid stability control system, it is not afraid of the longer wheelbase and can easily cope with various road conditions, allowing users to experience more relaxed all-scenario driving pleasure.

since the first generation of bmw x3 was unveiled in 2003, bmw x3 has gone through four generations in 21 years. as one of the most successful models of the bmw x family, bmw x3 has won the trust of more than 3.5 million owners around the world.

since the beginning of this year, competition in china's auto industry has intensified and the market is full of uncertainty, but the bmw group still maintains its leading sales in china's luxury car market. from the lineup of exhibitors at this chengdu auto show, it can be seen that bmw has brought new products in almost all major market segments.

the launch of the bmw x3 long wheelbase version demonstrates bmw's strong product strength of continuous innovation and driving pleasure. it provides chinese consumers with a variety of innovative choices and pure driving pleasure while continuing to lead the luxury market.
