Inside, high-quality materials, advanced digitalization, and the new BMW iDrive with QuickSelect based on BMW Operating System 9 define a premium ambience.
Enhanced Performance and Efficiency
The 2025 BMW X3 showcases major improvements in efficiency and dynamic performance across both the 4-cylinder and high-performance 6-cylinder variants.

The new design language of the 2025 BMW X3 emphasizes distinctive proportions and a monolithic appearance.
