The Power Behind the New 2017 BMW X3

Here at BMW of San Antonio, we are proud to have the 2017 BMW X3 as a part of our collection because this SUV is an incredible performer. Driving enthusiasts who appreciate exceptional capability will especially be drawn to this model because of its two potent powertrains and what they can do. Put in action, the new BMW X3 delivers an irresistible ride.

The two powertrains available with the new 2017 BMW X3 are distinguished by their respective engines: the 28i 2.0L 4-cylinder TwinPower Turbo and the 35i 3.0L 6-cylinder TwinPower Turbo. The former offers up to 240 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque while the latter offers up to 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque. As you can see, both produce excellent results, and this is largely because of the lightweight composition and the reinforcement of Double-VANOS and other smart technologies that optimize energy output. In fact, when paired with the 8-speed STEPTRONIC automatic transmission, these engines will even allow you to launch from 0-60 in 6.2 and 5.3 seconds, respectively!

While the engines are central to the new 2017 BMW X3 and its powertrain, there are other notable components such as the enhanced chassis system which can be geared with an available Dynamic Damper Control which help your vehicle adjust to the conditions of the road. This contributes to a smoother and more stable ride. An intelligent all-wheel drive system is also a nice reinforcement to its performance. It utilizes technologies to monitor the wheels, and if any slippage is detected, it allocates more power as needed to the corner in question to even out traction. The result is better handling with every bend and bump in the road.

Taking these specifications into consideration, the new 2017 BMW X3 is a clear winner.
