2025 BMW X3: Australian pricing revealed

The 2025 BMW X3 will arrive in Australia for customer deliveries early next year, bringing new looks and new tech inside-and-out, along with updated powertrains.

At least initially, the new BMW X3 will launch with just two power options, both of them petrol: the entry-level 20 xDrive and the powerful M50 xDrive.

There won't be an electric iX3 with this generation, as that badge will be worn by the upcoming, all-electric 'Neue Klasse' SUV – expected to launch sometime in 2025.

Design and Dimensions

The new BMW X3 adopts an all-new look inside and out, featuring a high-quality interior with sustainable materials.

The vehicle's length has increased by 34mm to 4,755mm, and its width has grown by 29mm to 1,920mm, while its height has been reduced by 25mm, enhancing its sporty profile.

Powertrains and Performance

BMW Australia will launch the X3 with two variants: the X3 20 xDrive and the X3 M50 xDrive.

Both models come standard with BMW's xDrive all-wheel-drive system and feature 48-volt mild hybrid technology for increased efficiency.

X3 20 xDrive: Powered by a TwinPower Turbo inline four-cylinder petrol engine, the X3 20 xDrive delivers 140kW and 310Nm of torque, claiming a 0-100km/h time of 8.5 seconds.

X3 M50 xDrive: The hero model (pending a proper X3 M) is driven by a 3.0-litre M-tuned turbo petrol six-cylinder engine, producing 293kW and 580Nm. For this model, BMW claims a 0-100km/h 4.6 seconds – 0.2 seconds faster than X3 M40i it replaces.

Interior and Technology

Inside, the 2025 BMW X3 features the BMW Curved Display, BMW Interaction Bar, a flat-bottomed steering wheel, and a new gear selector lever.

For this new generation, BMW is talking up the X3's sustainable interior materials, such as Veganza upholstery (a leather alternative made from recycled plant material), which requires 85% fewer CO2 emissions to produce than traditional leather, and a new instrument panel made from recycled polyester.

Advanced driver assistance systems are standard, with features including front collision warning, Steering and Lane Control Assistant, Lane Departure Warning, Driving Assistant Professional, and Parking Assistant Plus with a surround view camera.

On the infotainment front, the new X3 includes the latest BMW iDrive system with Operating System 9 and QuickSelect, allowing for direct function activation without submenus. Adaptive suspension is also standard – usually an option overseas.
