The 2025 BMW X3 is a diesel SUV with AWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the G45 generation. The 20d xDrive is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured 20d xDrive version develops 197 hp and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 7.5 seconds, which is responsive rather than outright performance-focused. Top speed is listed at 215 km/h (134 mph). Its power output is about 16% below the peer average. Its acceleration is close to the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Fuel economy and range
The listed fuel consumption is 5.5 L/100km. Fuel-tank capacity is 55.0 litres (14.5 US gallons). Recorded CO2 emissions are 145 g/km. Consumption, emissions and range can be measured under different regional procedures, so like-for-like comparisons should use the same market and test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,755 mm (187.2 in) in length, 1,920 mm (75.6 in) in width, and 1,660 mm (65.4 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,865 mm (112.8 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 570 litres (20.1 cu ft), expanding to 1,700 litres (60.0 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,820 kg (4,012 lb). The recorded braked towing capacity is 2,400 kg (5,291 lb). That cargo volume is about 22% above the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of 30 xDrive, 20 xDrive, 20d xDrive, 30e xDrive, and M50 xDrive. Across the range, the specifications span 197 hp to 398 hp, 4.6 s to 7.8 s, and 90 km, while listed starting prices run from $49,800-$68,675. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby diesel SUV models from the same period, the 2025 BMW X3 is strongest on cargo capacity, while power stands out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
