BMW X3 and X4 get a refresh

BMW X3 car lease front

The BMW X3 and X4 car leasing ranges have been revamped for 2021.

The stylish BMW X3 and X4 car leasing range have been comprehensively revamped to deliver new equipment, modern interiors and an updated infotainment system.

Both models receive a redesigned rear and front section – and in the X3, this accentuates the sports activity vehicle appearance.

And in the X4, the sports activity coupe silhouette has been enhanced.

There’s also hybrid technology onboard the refreshed cars with the X3 xDrive30e receiving a plug-in system that uses a 48-volt setup.

All versions of the contract hire BMW X3 feature the firm’s intelligent all-wheel drive system, xDrive, along with the firm’s eight-speed Steptronic automatic transmission.

The gearbox has been tuned to match the engine’s characteristics to reduce emissions and lower fuel consumption.

Also, both models have range-toppers with the M40i and the M40d variants – and when specified in the Pro Edition trim, they offer more dynamic performance and agility.

Enhanced equipment for the BMW X3 and X4 includes the firm’s Live Cockpit professional that features a 12.3-inch display.

Other standard equipment for the X3 and X4 lease models include automatic air-conditioning with three-zone control and enhanced leather sports seats.
