The 2025 BMW X3, now in its fourth generation, boasts many standard luxurious amenities, impressive performance, and the latest tech to upgrade your driving experience. If you’re looking for your next compact luxury crossover, check out some of the most impressive features you’ll love about this sporty SUV.

1. Standard All-Wheel Drive

One of the most notable updates for the 2025 X3 is the newly standard xDrive, BMW’s advanced all-wheel drive system. Now you can enjoy all-terrain performance with any model, giving you extra confidence to navigate Maine’s snowy roads this winter.

2. Turbocharged Engine

The base X3 30 model is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine supplemented by a 48-volt hybrid system for 255 horsepower, and can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in just 6.0 seconds. An eight-speed automatic transmission controls the power in all models. Upgrading to the M50 model retains the hybrid system, but swaps the base engine for a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six with 393 hp and an incredible 4.4-second acceleration time.

3. Luxurious Seating

Perforated and quilted synthetic leather upholstery covers the seats inside the X3, and can be had in black, brown, or beige. A leatherette and faux suede combo is available, as is genuine Merino leather. The standard front sport seats are heated, ventilated, and power-adjustable for maximum comfort and support. Extended legroom in the rear ensures up to three people have plenty of space to relax in the second row.

4. BMW Curved Display

One of the cutting-edge technology features inside the 2025 X3 is the large 14.9-inch BMW Curved Display, which is complemented by the BMW Interaction Bar and the iDrive rotary knob for intuitive operation. The latest iDrive 9 system can also be controlled with your voice, touchscreen inputs, and steering wheel controls, giving you the freedom to customize how you interact with your infotainment system.

5. Cargo and Towing Capacities

The 2025 X3 offers more cargo space than ever, with 32 cubic feet of room behind the rear seats, which is perfect for stocking up on supplies, packing for memorable trips with friends or family, and more. If you need to bring extra equipment along or use your SUV for a DIY move, an optional factory-installed trailer hitch enables towing up to 4,000 lbs with the base model and up to 4,850 lbs with the M50.

Whether this is your first time driving an X3 or you’re an experienced owner looking to upgrade, you’ll understand why it continues to be one of BMW’s bestsellers as soon as you step inside the 2025 model.
