• The new model is offered with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder in two different flavors.
• Chinese X3s have a 4.37-inch longer wheelbase than normal models sold elsewhere.
• The wheelbase increases rear knee room by 3.7 inches without impacting the weight distribution.

The facelifted BMW X3 has just launched in China, but the local model is a little different than those sold in other markets. That’s because many Chinese buyers prioritize rear legroom, so the new X3 has been unveiled with an extended wheelbase before sales begin later this month. No standard wheelbase model will be offered locally, meaning it’s either the X3 L, or no X3 at all.

New BMW X3s sold in China will be built locally and the two available versions have a 4.37-inch (111 mm) longer wheelbase than the regular X3 sold in other markets. This boosts rear knee room by 3.7 inches (96 mm) while still retaining the standard SUV’s perfect 50:50 weight distribution. The new X3 L is quite a bit larger than the model it replaces, measuring 4.9 inches (126 mm) longer and sitting 0.9 inches (25 mm) wider. However, the eye-catching design of the refreshed model does a good job of hiding the added size.

Sitting at the base of the Chinese range is the X3 xDrive 25L Luxury. It features a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine with 190 hp and 229 lb-ft (310 Nm) of torque. Those figures aren’t enough to get the heart racing, but they do propel the X3 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 8.7 seconds and through to a 133 mph (214 km/h) top speed, figures more than adequate for a vehicle like this.

Found at the top of the range is the X3 xDrive 30L. This boasts an upgraded version of the same 2.0-liter and is rated at 258 hp and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm). It can hit 62 mph (100 km/h) in 6.5 seconds and continues through to 148 mph (239 km/h).

All Chinese X3s come standard with a host of features that aim to cater to the desires of local buyers. For example, both versions are equipped with LED lighting around the front kidney grilles and there are several unique digital services available through the infotainment system. Customers can choose between five different metallic finishes and one Frozen (matte) option.

While BMW has yet to announce local pricing for the 2025 X3 L, we know it will be built at Plant Lydia, which BMW operates through the BMW Brilliance Automotive joint venture.
