All-New BMW X3: What’s Under The Hood?
The 2025 BMW X3 30 xDrive uses a 2.0-liter TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder unit (designated B48B20O2) putting out 255 horses and 295 pound-feet of peak torque. It is now mated to a 48V mild-hybrid system and can hit a top speed of 130 mph.

Both the variants get all-wheel-drive as standard and comes mated to the BMW’s 8-speed Steptronic automatic gearbox.
All-New 2025 BMW X3: The New Design
It seems like the leaks were true and we have the dual-pattern grille in reality and as seen in the pictures, it seems like it will grow on you with time. The new BMW X3 is 1.3 inches longer than its predecessor at 187.2 inches overall, while the width has increased by 1.1 inches to 75.6 inches. Together with the 1-inch drop in vehicle height to 65.4 inches and the wider tracks, this produces a very powerful and sporty look.
The new large BMW kidney grille paired with the upright front end of the new BMW X3 exudes an air of assured road presence. A new internal structure for the grille composed of vertically and diagonally arranged bars, adds a fresh touch. The SAV also gets the BMW Iconic Glow contour lighting – standard on X3 M50 xDrive, optional on X3 30 xDrive. The daytime driving lights, side marker lights, and turn signal indicators in the LED headlights are now all produced by L-shaped, overlapping light sources. Full LED Headlights with cornering light functions, plus blue design detailing, are optionally available, as are M Shadowline lights.
The new BMW X3 30 xDrive is equipped as standard with 19-inch alloy wheels with a selection of 20-inch and 21-inch packages available as options.
