BMW is reportedly going to introduce an all-new X3 crossover for the 2017 model year. The big news is that the next X3 will see the introduction of a plug-in hybrid version as well as the first M version.
According to Autobild the standard four-cylinder and six-cylinder powertrains will return, but with some performance tweaks to give each engine around 15 extra horsepower. A new X3 M40i version is also in the works with around 360 horsepower thanks to its twin-turbocharged six-cylinder. For the first ever X3 plug-in hybrid, it will pair a 2.0L four-cylinder with a 95-horsepower electric motor. It’s expected that it will have an electric driving range around 31 miles.
