BMW IX3: Design
The new IX3 is quite different from its appearance, which has a completely new front face with a new kidney grill with two vertical slots and single slots at each end. This entire setup has been flanks with a new light signature with slim headlamps. The side profile of the IX3 is accompanied by a clean and plain design with flush fitting door handles and square wheel archas.
The arches are filled as 20-inch alloy wheels standard, with an option to upgrade 22-inch alloys. At the back, the IX3 has a separate interpretation of L-shaped lighting signature that is placed in new raparound clusters. In dimensions, the BMW IX3 has a length of 4,782mm, width 1,895mm and height is 1,635mm. The changes made in front and rear bumpers have improved aerodynamics, causing the drag to 0.24.
BMW IX3: Interiors and Features
The new BMW IX3's cabin layout is a minimalist, with most features either multi-functional 4-spoke steering wheel or a huge 17.9-inch central touchscreen running on BMW OS X. A full-science vision system sits just below the edge of the windscreen. Interior trims come in many themes, which range from sustainable fabrics to leather. M Sport variants make the cabin even better with sports seats, M steering wheels and black high-glaoss accents.
