Dynamic Performance and Efficiency
The 2025 BMW X3 features significant improvements in both efficiency and dynamic performance across its variants. The two models in the lineup, the BMW X3 30 xDrive and the BMW X3 M50 xDrive, have been rebranded to emphasize their power and sophistication. The BMW X3 30 xDrive is equipped with a 2.0-litre TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder engine, delivering 255 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. This enables a swift 0-100 km/h acceleration in just 6.3 seconds, showcasing its robust performance credentials.
For those seeking even greater power, the BMW X3 M50 xDrive is the epitome of performance within the X3 lineup. It features a 3.0-litre inline 6-cylinder engine paired with a 48V mild hybrid system, producing a combined output of 393 hp and 428 lb-ft of torque. This advanced powertrain includes the Efficient Dynamics Next technology package, which incorporates innovations such as the Miller combustion cycle, redesigned intake ports, and dual injection for optimal performance. The result is an exhilarating driving experience with rapid power delivery and enhanced efficiency.
Striking Exterior Design
The new BMW X3's exterior design exudes a monolithic presence with distinctive proportions that emphasize its sporty and powerful character. The SAV is 34 mm longer and 29 mm wider than its predecessor, with a lower height of 1,660 mm, creating a sleek and commanding silhouette. The large kidney grille at the front, featuring a new internal structure of vertically and diagonally arranged bars, adds a fresh touch to the vehicle's front end. The illuminated kidney grille, standard on the X3 M50 xDrive and optional on the X3 30 xDrive, forms a continuous line around each grille element, enhancing its visual impact.
The side profile of the X3 is defined by bold side skirts and a roofline that extends deep into the rear end, giving it a dynamic appearance. The prominently flared wheel arches and flush-mounted rear window further accentuate its width and sporty stance. The rear lights feature a modern T-shaped graphic with a satin-finished horizontal bar and integral turn signal indicators, completing the vehicle's contemporary look.
Premium Interior and Advanced Technology
Inside, the new BMW X3 offers a blend of robust SAV functionality and premium ambiance. The cabin features the BMW Curved Display, BMW Interaction Bar, flat-bottomed steering wheels, and a new gear selector toggle, creating a modern and driver-focused cockpit. High-quality materials, including optional Merino Leather and a new woven fabric made from recycled polyester, enhance the interior's luxurious feel.
The spacious interior offers generous amounts of space, with luggage capacity expandable from 570 litres to a maximum of 1,700 litres by folding the rear seats. The standard electrically adjustable and heated sport seats are upholstered in Perforated and Quilted Veganza, available in three colors, with additional options for Merino Leather and M Veganza/Alcantara combinations.
The BMW X3 also boasts the latest BMW iDrive Operating System 9, which provides intuitive control of vehicle functions through a touchscreen, multifunction buttons, and voice commands via the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant. The optional BMW Head-Up Display and the new BMW Digital Premium package further enhance the driving experience with features like in-car gaming, music streaming, and cloud-based navigation.

The standard Parking Assistant incorporates the Backup Assistant and Rear View Camera, making parking maneuvers easier and safer.
For those seeking advanced capabilities, the optional Parking Assistant Professional offers automated parking features that use road markings and the curb to determine parking space boundaries. The BMW Manoeuvre Assistant, included in this package, can store and execute complex parking maneuvers automatically using GPS data and steering trajectory information.
