You’re eyeing the new 2018 BMW X3 that was launched in April this year. BMW unveiled this third-generation X3 at the 2018 Auto Expo and it is based on the CLAR platform.

The new X3 is currently being offered in the xDrive 20d (Expedition, xLine and Luxury Line), and the xDrive 30i (only Luxury Line) variants.
