Will the BMW X3 have a long-wheelbase version in the future?
1 Answers
The domestic BMW X3 has become more affordable, with a larger and sturdier body, but it has remained unchanged, and it is estimated that there will be no further updates in the future. The standard Audi Q5 (overseas version) has a wheelbase of 2,820 mm and a length of 4,660 mm. The new BMW X3 has a wheelbase and length of 2,864 mm and 4,717 mm, respectively. The extended FAW Audi Q5L measures 2,908 mm and 4,765 mm. It can be seen that the wheelbase of the BMW X3 is exactly between the standard Q5 and Q5L, so strictly speaking, the X3's wheelbase is not short. Currently, the new-generation X3 launched in China has the model code G08. Compared to competing models from Mercedes and Audi, the new-generation BMW X3 has a shorter wheelbase, but it is still longer than the previous-generation BMW X3. It is said that BMW is unwilling to compromise its excellent driving dynamics. Although Chinese consumers place more emphasis on rear-seat space and comfort, a significant number of Chinese buyers are also beginning to have high demands for handling and performance.
