Although it’s only the beginning of September, the current BMW X3 entered the 2024 model year a few weeks ago. This means that the next-generation luxury crossover will be available in the United States as a 2025 model. However, there are still some final tests that need to be completed. Our spies had the opportunity to closely analyze two prototypes, both of which had less camouflage than previous sightings, revealing the production body.

It’s important to note that the two test vehicles were equipped with combustion engines, as the future iX3 will have a substantially different appearance. The iX3 will switch to the Neue Klasse platform, as mentioned here. Currently, the electric crossover shares the same design as the conventionally powered X3, using the CLAR platform. However, this will change in 2025 with the introduction of a dedicated electric architecture.
