All-New 2025 BMW X3 Price & Specs
The all-new 2025 BMW X3 will be launching in South Africa before the end of the year and thanks to BMWSA’s website/Duoporta, we can confirm some details such as engines and pricing.
The 4th-generation X3 is manufactured right here in South Africa, at BMW Group plant in Rosslyn, Pretoria. Interestingly, the plug-in hybrid derivative is manufactured solely in SA for both local consumption and export, while other X3 models are sourced from the US and China.
Engines and Lineup
The all-new 2025 BMW X3 will be sold in a three-model lineup, with a petrol performance flagship, a sensible diesel and a plug-in hybrid. All models will feature all-wheel drive as well as automatic transmissions.
The 20d is likely to be the volume seller and its easy to predict why. The 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder diesel engine makes 145 kW and 400 Nm, and will be the most frugal of the range, with a claimed consumption figure of 6.2 L/100 km. In terms of acceleration, the 20d is good for a claimed 7.7 seconds to 100 kph.
For the performance-minded customers, the BMW X3 M50 storms in with a 3.0-litre turbocharged 6-cylinder petrol engine that makes 293 kW and 520 Nm. It’ll be the quickest X3, with a claimed 0-100 kph of just 4.6 seconds.
A plug-in hybrid model makes its debut and it designated as the X3 30e xDrive. It’s powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine and an electric motor. Combined, there’s 140 kW from the engine + 135 kW electric boost giving it a total outputs of 220 kW and 450 Nm.
It is said to consume just 1.1 L/100 km and capable of hitting 100 kph in just 6.2 seconds. It’s also capable of a claimed pure electric range of around 85 km.
