WHAT'S NEW: Complete treatment with a less boxy, more sporty look (photo is of current gen), added passenger and cargo room, a more driver-friendly interior, and myriad standard and optional high-end appointments, such as adaptive headlights, night vision, and head-up display.
COOL FACT: The new X3 will be built alongside the X5 and X6 in Spartanburg, N.C., instead of at Magna Steyr in Graz, Austria.
