After launching the all new BMW X5 in India, BMW India is gearing up to launch the new 2015 X3 next month. Unveiled globally in February this year, the X3 facelift will reach Indian dealerships next month, according to a report.
Similar to the new X5, the updated X3 gets a set of new design elements that work together to bestow the popular SUV with a dose of freshness. For the 2015 model, the X3 gets a larger set of headlamps, with LED fixtures being available as an option. The X3 also gets a new kidney grille, which now appears more catchy. A new front bumper completes the set of updates for the revised car’s front end. The interiors get revisions in the upholstery and trim options.
Powering the 2015 BMW X3 will be the same 2.0-liter, four pot oil burner with some minor tweaks making it more fuel efficient and punchy at the same time. The engine now churns out 190 PS of max power and will come mated to an eight speed automatic transmission.
