Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, the world’s largest maker of luxury cars, is revamping its X3 model to catch up with Volkswagen AG’s Audi in the U.S. market for small sport-utility vehicles.
The compact SUV, which goes on sale in the U.S. on Jan. 22, will bulk up, adding more than 3 inches in length and 1 inch in width, and be sold at a lower price, to take on the Audi Q5. The current X3’s sticker price of $38,850 is $3,650 above the Q5.
