The overview

Redesigned for 2025, the fourth-generation X3 grows slightly in length and power, and it adopts a high-tech, minimalist interior design. It launches in two trims: 30 xDrive with a 255-hp, 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four and M50 xDrive with a 393-hp, 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six engine. Each is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, augmented with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system, and employs all-wheel drive. The optional driving assistance suite includes adaptive cruise control and lane centering assistance. The dash is dominated by a wide, curved display that houses the iDrive 9 infotainment system, available with numerous connected features. Among the notable upgrades is the ability for navigation instructions to be overlaid on the road ahead using the head-up display for augmented reality.

Behind the data

Latest source update: September 11, 2026

Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.

Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
