BMW X3 30 xDrive bookings commence ahead of India launch

BMW is gearing up to expand its X3 lineup in India with the introduction of the X3 30 xDrive, scheduled to launch on February 16. Pre-bookings will open on January 30 at 12:30 pm, signalling BMW’s push to offer a more powerful petrol option in the segment. The BMW X3 30 xDrive will be offered exclusively in the M Sport Pro trim, which adds a sportier edge to the SUV’s design. Exterior highlights include an illuminated kidney grille, sleek LED headlamps, and BMW’s new signature DRLs, giving the X3 a more aggressive and premium appearance. Powering the X3 30 xDrive is a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine paired with a 48V mild-hybrid system, producing 254 BHP and 400 Nm of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via BMW’s xDrive all-wheel-drive system, promising improved performance and traction. Currently, the BMW X3 is sold in xDrive20 (petrol) and xDrive20d (diesel) variants. The petrol version makes 188 BHP and 310 Nm, while the diesel produces 194 BHP and 400 Nm. With its higher output, the new 30 xDrive will sit above both as the performance-focused petrol option in the lineup.
