宝马在下一代X3上下了很大的赌注，因此新车也备受关注，最近国外媒体发布了新车合成图。新一代X3将于明年发布，从合成图看，该车扔将采用人们熟悉的设计，一眼就可以辨认出来。车头可以看到更大的散热器格栅，两侧是LED前大灯和圆形雾灯。向后是塑料防擦条，车身侧面突出的特征线，车顶线条略微倾斜。先前的谍照显示该车还配备了与尾灯集成在一起的扰流器，双排气尾管和包围形尾灯组。宝马不愿透露新车更多细节，但预计车厢内采用新的三辐方向盘和独立式iDrive显示屏，数字仪表群和改款控制键。至于动力系统，预计将包括2.0升四缸和3.0升直列六缸引擎。宝马还将提供高性能版本，包括功率至少360马力的X3 M40i和最高达到500马力的X3 M。先前有报道称，宝马会在明年1月的北美车展发布新一代X3，但现在看来，该车要等到明年下半年才能首次亮相了。

 

Next BMW X3 rendered with evolutionary design

BMW has a lot riding on the next-generation X3 so our colleagues at OmniAuto have created a rendering of what the crossover could look like.

 

Set to be introduced sometime next year, the rendering shows the model will have a familiar design that is instantly recognizable. Starting up front, we can see a larger grille that is flanked by LED headlights and circular fog lights. Moving further back, there's plastic body cladding, a prominent character line, a gently sloping roof. Previous spy photos have shown the model will also have a tailgate-mounted spoiler, a dual exhaust system, and wraparound taillights.

 

BMW has been tight-lipped about the model but the cabin will have a new three-spoke steering wheel and a freestanding iDrive display. Drivers will also find a digital instrument cluster and revised switchgear.

 

Under the hood, we can expect to see a variety of familiar 2.0-liter four-cylinder and 3.0-liter inline-six engines. BMW will also offer a handful of a high-performance variants including an X3 M40i with at least 360 horsepower and an X3 M which could have as much as 500 hp.

 

Previous reports have suggested the redesigned X3 could be unveiled as early as the 2017 North American International Auto Show but it now appears the model will debut during the second half of next year.
