It’s been almost a year since the beginning of the road tests for the next-generation BMW X3. In June last year, we caught a prototype of the premium SUV for the first time, and today, we have a new video that shows work on the Bavarian model continues. This isn’t a standard combustion-powered test car but a crossover with a plug.
This heavily camouflaged X3 wears provisional taillights but this isn’t the most interesting thing about it. If you take a look at the stickers on the rear bumper and the front doors, you’ll see they say Electrified Vehicle. Also, there’s certainly a charging port on the front driver’s side fender, which basically confirms this is a plug-in hybrid prototype.
