GLENDALE, Calif., July 17, 2017 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- The BMW X3 — a high-performance and luxurious compact SUV — received a pleasing redesign for the 2018 model-year, with a striking and dynamic design, a powerful and efficient drive system and world-class luxury and refinement. The 2018 BMW X3 will be offered later this year at Pacific BMW, a dealership in Glendale, California.

Los Angeles-area premium car shoppers can count on an exhilarating driving experience in the 2018 X3. The standard model is powered by the BMW TwinPower Turbo technology 2.0-liter 4-cylinder inline gasoline engine, delivering an output of 248 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. For even greater performance, consumers can opt for the X3 M40i, which possesses a new M Performance TwinPower Turbo 3.0-liter 6-cylinder inline engine, generating an impressive 355 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque, and a 0-60 mph time of only 4.6 seconds. The new X3 is also highly-capable when heading off the beaten path, with off-road features like Intelligent all-wheel-drive, Dynamic Stability Control, Driving Dynamics Control and Hill Descent Control.

Inside the 2018 X3, the cabin boasts exceptional material quality and carefully thought out ergonomics. Comfort and convenience features in the new X3 include 40:20:40 split/folding rear seat backrests that can be adjusted individually and through various stages thanks to the standard cargo function. This feature also allows the backrests to be released remotely from the load compartment, which expands the standard load capacity of 28.7 cu-ft to 62.7 cu-ft. The X3 also offers front ventilated seats for the driver and front passenger to maximize comfort on warm days, as well as a 9.8-inch longer panoramic glass moonroof.
