BMW X3 facelift launched in India

A nip here, a tuck there

A few nips and tucks are essential to keep looking young, and attractive. At least that is what the entertainment industry tells us. It’s the same with the auto industry as well, and fresh off the operating table is the BMW X3 facelift.

On the face, the SUV gets a tweaked kidney grille, fully adaptive LED headlamps, revised front and rear bumpers, new alloy wheels, and a set of refreshed LED tail lights.

On the inside, there’s now a freestanding touchscreen infotainment system, a 12.3in fully-digital instrument cluster, a panoramic sunroof, a 360-degree camera, park assist function, and a surround sound system tuned by the experts at Harman Kardon.

Under the hood is a 2.0L four-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine producing 252bhp and 350Nm of torque. This is mated to an eight-speed automatic gearbox.

The 2022 BMW X3 comes in two variants – 30i SportX Plus, and 30i M Sport. The former is priced at ₹59.90 lakh, and the latter at ₹65.90 lakh (ex-showroom).
