An ugly car, we can describe it as ugly;

A good-looking car, we can describe it as sophisticated.

But is an ugly and delicate car good looking or ugly?

In the past two days, BMW's new generation X3 was unveiled, and as a new model, the new car has attracted much attention. Moreover, as the first model of BMW's new generation of design language, its appearance also means that almost all models of the BMW family in the future will be in this style in terms of design.

Let's take a look at the design details first, in the new generation X3, BMW's classic kidney front grille has been retained, and the size has been further increased, and the two "nostrils" outer rings have been added to the luminous LED light bar, which is very recognizable at night.

However, in order to cope with the change of new energy sources, the air intake function of the grille has been eliminated, and it has been made solid for the purpose of reducing air resistance. BMW has also installed millimeter-wave radar in one of the "nostrils", and it is not even ruled out that the charging port of some models will be moved to the nostrils.

The proportions of the sides of the body are difficult to describe, and the entire canopy is on the long side, so the passenger compartment becomes very rear. And, due to the impact of the rear shift of the passenger compartment, the D-pillar of the new car has become bloated and straight, looking like a compact SUV rather than a mid-size SUV.

Fortunately, the new large-size wheels have pulled back a game in terms of appearance and look very spirited. However, after mass production, with ordinary 18-inch wheels, it is estimated that it will be ugly.

Instead of pop-up door handles, the new car uses this semi-concealed one, which may not look as tech-savvy but is incredibly convenient to use.

The rear end has a relatively simple shape, and the new tail light style with the roof shark fin antenna and spoiler makes it look very sporty and recognizable. On performance variants such as the M50 xDrive, BMW even insists on an external two-sided quad exhaust pipe, which is to be praised.

Compared to the peculiarity of the exterior, the interior looks a little more normal, but it is still very stylish. Plenty of crystal decorations and mood light bars create a strong nightclub style. The luxurious details of the car have also changed from leather and metal accents to today's polymer and fabric materials. The smell of electronics is even stronger.

The new car will be equipped with a 12.3-inch + 14.9-inch dual-screen design, built-in BMW iDrive 9 system with QuickSelect function, and it is reported that the new generation BMW X3 will also be equipped with L2 level intelligent assisted driving as standard.

As for the power, the core is still the 2.0T engine with a 48V mild hybrid system, with a maximum power of 208 hp for the 20 xDrive and 259 hp for the 30 xDrive, mated to the classic ZF 8AT gearbox.

However, there are also plug-in hybrid models, the core of which is a combination of a 2.0T engine and an electric motor, with a maximum power of 299 horsepower and a maximum torque of 450 Nm, and will also provide a pure electric range of 90 kilometers.

Guess what, Chinese consumers will accept the appearance of the new generation BMW X3?
