New BMW X3 To Launch In India At Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025

 

BMW is gearing up to launch the fourth-generation X3 SUV in India. The latest iteration of the X3 was unveiled globally in June 2024 and is now confirmed to enter the Indian market early next year, with its official debut scheduled for January 2025 at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo. Globally, the 4th-gen X3 is available with a range of powertrain options, including petrol, diesel, and plug-in hybrid models. However, for the Indian market, BMW is expected to offer two variants – one petrol and one diesel.

In terms of design, the new X3 is in sync with the brand’s newer SUV models, such as the X1 and X2. It features new headlamps with new LED daytime running lights, a larger kidney grille with new and updated styling, and a silhouette that, while similar to the previous model, appears more imposing, thanks to wider arches and other styling updates.

The system runs on the latest BMW iDrive software with QuickSelect, based on BMW Operating System 9.
