The 2025 BMW X3 enters its fourth generation with a series of upgrades, including new styling, updated powertrains, and enhanced infotainment and safety features. Let's explore what this compact luxury SUV has to offer. Hybrid Powertrains For 2025, all X3 models employ standard all-wheel drive. The base 30 xDrive trim comes with a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine that is boosted by a 48-volt hybrid system, producing 255 horsepower. This setup is incredibly efficient, holding an estimated EPA rating of 33 mpg on the highway. more The M50 trim (which replaces the previous M40i) packs a more powerful punch with its turbocharged 3.0L inline-six engine. The engine works with the battery-fed electric motors to generate 393 horsepower, which can be used to launch the SUV to 60 mph in just 4 seconds. The M50 model also comes with an adaptive suspension with three drive modes that adapt to varying road and driving conditions. Next-Generation Entertainment The 14.9-inch curved touchscreen features iDrive 9, BMW's newest infotainment system. Although BMW upgraded to touch-only functionality in all other vehicles sporting iDrive 9, the X3 is the sole SUV that retains a handy rotary knob to assist with touchscreen navigation. The system can also be controlled through the steering wheel and by voice commands. A personal, voice-activated AI assistant can perform almost any function, and it gets smarter with every interaction. Subscribing to BMW Digital Premium unlocks several advanced capabilities. When the vehicle is stopped, games and video streaming become available to keep you entertained. And don't worry, your passenger can join in too with dual-play modes. Integrated audio streaming services such as Spotify and Amazon Music are also there to provide access to tailored music playlists and the latest audiobooks. Contemporary Design The X3 sports a redesigned kidney grille with contoured lighting and double light signature headlights. The available Sky Lounge Panoramic Roof allows more light to enter the cabin, creating a more open and inviting atmosphere. A contemporary interior awaits inside the X3, featuring standard front sport seats that are power adjustable, heated, ventilated, and have three color options. Although the standard faux-leathery is comfortable and stylish, you can upgrade to genuine leather for a more upscale experience. New Safety Features The X3's suite of driver-assistance technology adds several new features to its standard lineup, including adaptive cruise control with traffic-light recognition and automated lane change. A Parking Assistant Professional Package is now available, enabling the car to park itself in a designated parking space that has been stored in the vehicle's system, even if you aren't in the vehicle. The all-new BMW X3 takes a proven formula and makes it even better, showcasing updated powertrains, styling, and technology. Ready to experience the next level of driving performance and luxury?
