New BMW X3: Let’s be honest—finding a luxury SUV that perfectly balances thrilling performance with everyday practicality is no easy feat. But with the release of the all-new BMW X3, the German automaker seems to have cracked the code once again.
Starting at ₹ 72.50 Lakh, the latest iteration of the X3 isn’t just a facelift; it’s a massive leap forward in design, sustainability, and cutting-edge technology. Whether you’re navigating chaotic city streets or escaping for a weekend highway cruise, the new BMW X3 promises to make every journey feel like an event.
Let’s break down exactly what makes the all-new BMW X3 a standout in an incredibly competitive segment.
A Design That Commands Attention
The moment you lay eyes on the new BMW X3, you can tell it means business. BMW has given it a more monolithic, imposing stance with expansive surfaces and sharp, crisp contours. It looks wider, longer, and undeniably more aggressive.
But the real showstopper? The front fascia. BMW has introduced the Kidney Iconic Glow—a beautifully contoured white light that illuminates the signature grille. Whether you are parked or cruising down the road at night, it creates an unmistakable presence. Pair that with the sleek new double-light signature headlights and the striking 19-inch M light alloy wheels (featuring a gorgeous dark center with gloss-lathed surfaces), and you have an SUV that turns heads effortlessly.
Step Inside: A Sustainable Sanctuary
Opening the door to the X3 feels like stepping into a futuristic lounge. The cabin is an absolute masterclass in minimalist, contemporary design.
One of the first things you’ll notice is the massive 1.8-meter single-pane Panorama Glass Roof. It floods the interior with natural light, making the already spacious cabin feel downright cavernous. And speaking of space, rear passengers are in for a treat with extended legroom that easily accommodates three adults in total comfort.
For the eco-conscious luxury buyer, BMW has introduced 100% vegan upholstery, proving that you don’t need leather to achieve a premium, warm aesthetic. Up front, the sport seats come with active ventilation—an absolute lifesaver for Indian summers—and customizable lumbar support. Add in the dynamic ambient lighting with 15 color options, and you can instantly set the perfect mood for your evening drives.
New BMW X3 Tech That Feels Like Magic
If you love gadgets, the X3 is going to blow you away. The dashboard is dominated by the stunning 14.9-inch BMW Curved Display, powered by the lightning-fast Connected Drive OS 9. It’s your central hub for everything from entertainment to navigation.
Here are a few tech highlights that make living with the X3 a breeze:
- BMW Digital Key Plus: Forget your keys? No problem. Your smartphone now unlocks the car automatically as you approach, even triggering a welcome light sequence. You can also securely share your digital key with up to five friends or family members.
- Augmented View Navigation: Say goodbye to missing your exit. This feature projects live video of the road onto your screen and overlays floating directional arrows to show you exactly where to turn.
- Seamless App Integration: With the My BMW App, you can check your vehicle’s status, book service appointments, and stay connected to your car from anywhere.
Performance: Thrills on Every Terrain
It wouldn’t be a BMW without the brand’s signature driving dynamics. The X3 is available in both powerful petrol and diesel engine options, sending power to all four wheels via BMW’s legendary xDrive system.
To ensure the ride is as smooth as it is sporty, BMW has equipped the X3 with Adaptive Suspension, which constantly adjusts to the road surface. If you want to have a little fun, simply flick the car into “SPORT” mode—the suspension tightens up, and the Variable Sport Steering sharpens, giving you incredibly precise control and that classic BMW driving joy.
Your Personal Co-Pilot
Driving in heavy traffic or squeezing into tight parking spots can be stressful, but the X3’s advanced driver assistance systems have you covered:
- Driving Assistant Plus: This suite includes Active Cruise Control and Lane Keeping Assist, essentially acting as a co-pilot on long highway stretches or in stop-and-go traffic.
- Parking Assistant Plus: Hate parallel parking? The X3 will do it for you. The fully automated parking system, combined with a crystal-clear 360-degree Surround View camera, means you’ll never scrape a curb again.
The Verdict: Should You Buy It?
The all-new BMW X3 successfully merges the aggressive styling of a sports car with the comfort and tech of a luxury flagship. At ₹ 72.50 Lakh, it offers immense value for buyers looking for a premium, no-compromise SUV.
To sweeten the deal, BMW Financial Services is currently offering a “Drive Your Match” plan with a special ROI of 6.49%.
If you’re in the market for a luxury SUV that is just as fun to drive as it is comfortable to sit in, the new X3 absolutely deserves a spot on your shortlist.
