The all-new 2025 BMW X3 is a stunning blend of sleek design and powerful performance. Entering its fourth generation, the X3 boasts a fresh, “almost monolithic” look that’s clean and sophisticated. The base model now features eye-catching diagonal bars in the kidney grille, a bold move inspired by the new 1 Series overseas. The M50 model sticks with the classic blacked-out horizontal bars for those who prefer a more traditional look.
Say goodbye to the old naming conventions! BMW has revamped the lineup, with the base four-cylinder now called the X3 30 xDrive and the six-cylinder powerhouse dubbed the X3 M50 xDrive. The M50, formerly known as the M40i, is equipped with a turbocharged 3.0-litre six-cylinder engine, cranking out an impressive 393 horsepower and rocketing from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds. This model has high-performance goodies like Adaptive M Sport suspension, variable sport steering, brakes, 20-inch wheels, and an M Sport differential.
For those seeking a smooth and efficient ride, the X3 30 xDrive features a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 255 horsepower, reaching 60 mph in six seconds. Both models include 48-volt mild hybrid technology, ensuring a smoother start-stop experience and better fuel efficiency. The new X3 is lighter, more rigid, and boasts a wider rear track, making it a joy to drive on long trips. Plus, it’s slightly larger, with increased length and width, but sits slightly lower for a sportier stance.
Step inside the 2025 X3, and you’ll be greeted by a high-tech, luxurious interior. The dual-screen iDrive 9 system, newly designed seats, and the option for eco-friendly woven fabric dash trim made from recycled polyester create a modern, stylish cabin. Ambient, interactive light bars add a fun, futuristic vibe, though their vibrant colours might not suit everyone. And let’s not forget the massive door handles, reminding you that this isn’t just any BMW—it’s the ultimate utility vehicle.
Starting at $50,675 for the base model and $65,275 for the M50, the 2025 BMW X3 offers incredible value. Built in Spartanburg, South Carolina, this exciting new SUV will hit the roads in Q4 2024. Get ready to experience the next level of driving pleasure with the all-new X3!
