BMW X3
The BMW X3 is a premium mid-size luxury SUV aimed at buyers who want a balanced mix of performance, practicality, and everyday comfort. It immediately stands out for its refined and powerful turbocharged engines paired with BMW’s xDrive all-wheel-drive system, delivering strong performance and confident handling. At the same time, it offers a spacious cabin, high-quality materials, and a feature-rich interior, making it comfortable for both city drives and long highway journeys. The overall package feels well-rounded and premium for its segment. That said, its high price and relatively firm ride over rough roads could be considerations for some buyers. Overall, the X3 suits buyers seeking a practical luxury SUV that still feels engaging to drive.
BMW X3 Latest Update
Last Updated On 16th Feb'26: BMW has launched a new performance-focused variant of the BMW X3 called the 30 xDrive, priced at Rs 74.50 lakh (ex-showroom). It is powered by a 2.0L twin-turbo petrol engine that produces 258 hp and 400 Nm of torque, sending power intelligently to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox. This is now the most powerful and most expensive variant of the X3 available in India.
Launched at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 in January, the fourth-generation BMW X3 continues to be sold with the same set of specifications and features. As it is still very new, it does not require any updates yet.
