BMW has revealed the all-new fourth-gen X3 SUV that sits on a new platform, gets new looks inside and out, and a long features list. The new X3 will also spawn an all-electric version, the iX3, which will make its global debut next year.

  • New X3 gets two engine options
  • Gets illuminated grille on some variants
  • India launch likely by the end of this year

BMW X3: design, feature highlights

The new BMW X3 (codename: G45) also gets the brand’s new nomenclature – it drops the i suffix from xDrive30i and switches the positions of the number, becoming 30 xDrive. This means the new BMW iX3, which was previewed by the vision Neue klasse X Concept will use the “i” as a prefix.

The new X3 is slightly longer and wider than its predecessor, and has many fresh design cues, including a few common design bits from the latest-gen BMW X1. The new-look large-format kidney grille – illuminated on the flagship M50 xDrive (optional on the base 30 xDrive) – is similar to the ones we’ve seen on the new 7 Series, the XM flagship SUV and also on the upcoming 5 Series LWB in India. The new X3’s grille gets slats positioned in a tilted position on some variants, but in the top-spec M50 variant, it is positioned horizontally.




Other design highlights include the new-look headlamps with L-shaped daytime running lamps and 19-inch alloy wheels as standard – 20- and 21-inch iterations available as an option.

On the inside, the X3 gets BMW’s curved display with the iDrive 9 infotainment first seen on the current X1. It also gets newly designed heated sport seats, a flat-bottom steering wheel and BMW's new woven fabric instrument panel, which will be available on MY2025 models.



BMW will also offer the X3 30e xDrive plug-in hybrid, which combines the 190hp, 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine with a 184hp electric motor delivering a total output of 300hp and 450Nm. The 30e sprints to 100kph in 6.2 seconds and goes on to a top speed of 215kph. However, in EV-only mode, the plug-in hybrid SUV has a top speed of 140kph, and its 19.7kWh battery offers a range of up to 90km (WLTP).

The top-spec BMW X3 gets the 3.0-litre turbocharged six-cylinder mill that churns out a healthy 398hp with 580Nm of torque, propelling the SUV to 100kph from a standstill in 4.6 seconds. Its top speed is electronically limited to 250kph with the optional performance tyres. When equipped with the standard all-season rubber, the X3 M50 xDrive has a speed limit of 210kph. All engine options get AWD and BMW’s 8-speed automatic gearbox as standard.




BMW X3 :- India launch details

We expect the new X3 to launch in India by end of this year or early next year. Key rivals will include the Mercedes-Benz GLC and the Audi Q5, among others. BMW India is currently gearing up to launch the new 5 series LWB in our market
