All three BMW X-models are new platforms, which should support continued strong sales. Benz has one all new (shared) platform with the GLE and GLS on the V167/X167 platform, and the GLC is a facelift for 2020.

It wouldn't surprise me to see the X3 surpass the GLC in sales. When M-B introduces the GLB and future all new GLC, small SUVs will be an even more competitive segment.
X3s have grown in size so it’s almost like Medium, Large and XL now. Small would be the X1/X2s.
