BMW India has momentously launched the fourth-generation BMW X3, a flamboyant automobile that stands as an ultimate embodiment of the marque’s relentless pursuit of luxury, innovation, and performance. Revealed on the second day of the Auto Expo 2025 in Delhi and locally produced at BMW Group’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Chennai, this latest BMW offering is poised to redefine standards in the premium midsize segment.

Impressive Exterior

This new BMW X3 is presented with a remarkable exterior defined through clean lines and precise contours, coupled with bold proportions. With a length of 4,755 mm and a wheelbase of 2,865 mm, it is longer than any car in its category. However, an overall width of 1,920 mm, coupled with a height of 1,660 mm makes it an imposing automobile.

The signature BMW Kidney Grille now bears the BMW Iconic Glow, surrounded with a gracefully illuminated glow. Adaptive LED headlights with cornering functions and blue design accents substantially highlight its enthralling presence, guaranteeing unmatched visibility.

The M Sport package, standard in the all-new X3, intensifies dynamic flair with design items like large air intakes, black grille bars, specific side skirts for M cars, and a rear apron with integrated diffuser. Adding flair to this are an eye-catching set of 19-inch M light-alloy wheels. These attributes give the vehicle a robust stance, seamlessly blending aerodynamic optimization with an athletic demeanour.

A Cabin of Sophistication and Innovation

Towards the inside, the all-new X3 is a sanctuary of luxury, featuring an all-new driver-focused cockpit featuring the BMW Curved Display, comprising a 12.3-inch information display that flows organically into a 14.9-inch control display. The BMW Interaction Bar, boasting functional tactile controls and customizable ambient lighting, further adds glory to its futuristic look.

An expansive panoramic glass sunroof generously floods the roomy cabin with ample sunshine. Leaving no stones unturned in ensuring unparallelled passenger comfort, the all-new X3 also boasts new Sport Seats in sustainable Veganza upholsteries.

Rear passengers benefit from increased knee room, while roller sunblinds on the windows offer privacy and protection. Completing the immersive experience is the Harman Kardon surround sound system, featuring 15 speakers delivering 750 watts of power.

Where Performance Meets Efficiency

The BMW X3 is powered by BMW TwinPower Turbo engines paired with a 48V mild hybrid system. The petrol-powered xDrive20i produces 190 hp and 310 Nm torque, accelerating from 0-100 km/h in 7.8 seconds.

The diesel-powered xDrive20d delivers 197 hp and 400 Nm torque, achieving the same sprint in 7.7 seconds. Both variants feature an 8-speed Steptronic transmission and adaptive suspension for an unparalleled driving experience across varied terrains.

Cutting-Edge Technology and Connectivity

The X3 introduces the BMW Operating System 9 with intuitive iDrive functionality, QuickSelect menus, and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto integration. The MyBMW App enables remote vehicle monitoring, while the BMW Digital Key Plus transforms smartphones into car keys, enhancing convenience.

Unrivaled Ownership Experience

Available in both petrol and diesel powertrains, the all-new X3 is offered in two variants: xDrive20i M Sport at ₹75.8 lakh (approx. $87,500) and xDrive20d M Sport at ₹77.8 lakh (approx. $89,900) (ex-showroom).
