Design and Performance

The fresh exterior pares back lines and amplifies surfaces, so the X3 reads broader and more athletic at a glance, helped by a slightly longer body, a touch more width, and a lower roof for a sportier stance. Under the hood, the 2.0‑liter turbo-four with 48V mild hybrid is tuned for quick response and strong midrange, delivering 255 hp and 295 lb‑ft for a 0–60 mph run of 6.0 seconds and a 130‑mph top speed. A lighter yet stiffer structure, wider rear track, and retuned axle kinematics improve turn‑in and stability, while optional M Sport hardware sharpens steering and braking feel on the 30 xDrive.

Tech and Safety

Inside, the BMW Curved Display running iDrive 9 reduces buttons and centralizes functions, while the Interaction Bar adds smart lighting and touchable surfaces to streamline daily use. Standard safety brings forward collision mitigation, lane keeping, blind‑spot alerts, and a capable Parking Assistant with Backup Assistant, with highway‑grade lane guidance and Traffic Jam Assistant available for stress‑free commuting on limited access roads. Digital Premium unlocks streaming apps, in‑car gaming, richer maps, and additional My Modes, with over‑the‑air updates keeping features current over time.
