ALL-NEW BMW X3 REVEAL 2025 REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The all-new BMW X3 (2025) represents a significant generational leap, moving to a split platform strategy with distinct architectures for pure electric (iX3) and internal combustion/plug-in hybrid variants. The reviewed models showcase a more monolithic design, improved aerodynamics (cd 0.27), and increased sustainability in production. Key highlights include the optional illuminated kidney grille, adaptive Matrix LED lighting, and a choice of adaptive suspensions. The interior boasts a new cockpit with a 15-inch infotainment screen, a redesigned steering wheel, and innovative Econeer seating made from recycled materials. The plug-in hybrid variant doubles its battery capacity to 20.4 kWh, promising an estimated electric range of around 80 km. The M50 performance model stands out with visible exhaust pipes and sport suspension. While the reviewer praises the overall design and interior advancements, they note the continued absence of air suspension and rear-axle steering. The pricing starts around €60,000 for the base model, escalating to approximately €90,000 for a fully-specced M50, positioning it competitively within its segment.
