The new BMW X3 has failed in China, although the cars are sold at an unprecedented price

The Chinese did not appreciate the newest BMW X3: in April of this year, only 2,742 cars were sold in China - and this is very little. For comparison, 9,082 units of the Audi Q5L and 8,807 units of the Mercedes-Benz GLC were sold last month. Even the Volvo XC60 and Cadillac XT5 are selling better.

The situation is also interesting because the new BMW X3 in China is already now, just a few months after the start of sales, offering huge discounts - they exceed 70 thousand yuan (~ 10 thousand dollars). Taking into account the discount, the basic version of the crossover can be purchased for 280 thousand yuan (38.9 thousand dollars), although the official price is 349.9 thousand yuan (48.7 thousand dollars). As Dongchedi notes, three years ago, you could only buy a BMW X1 for 280 thousand yuan, but now a model of a higher class is offered for this money.

Why the Chinese did not appreciate the new BMW X3 is still unknown.
