BMW Group India on Thursday launched the new X3 in two variants -- X3 xDrive 20d Expedition priced at Rs 44.90 lakh and X3 xDrive 20d xLine -- priced at Rs 49.90 lakh (ex-showroom).
The latest sports utility vehicle will be locally produced at the BMW plant in Chennai in the diesel variant.
“The new BMW X3 is the embodiment of independence, whether it’s on the way to work or on a weekend, with family or for some quality time alone. It is built for both the small and big challenges that each day brings,” Philipp von Sahr, President, BMW Group India said.
The new vehicle is available for the first time in a new design scheme -- the BMW xLine equipment package which brings out the robust and dynamic Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) character even more prominently, he said.
The X3 xDrive 20d is the first model to feature the latest-generation diesel engine with outstanding performance and low fuel consumption, the company said.
The new generation of all-aluminium two-litre diesel engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology uses common rail direct injection with solenoid valve injectors and works with increased injection pressure, it said.
This pushes the engine output to 140 kW/190 hp with the maximum torque of 400 Nm. The vehicle can go from 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 8.1 seconds with a top speed of 210 km/h, it added
