BMW X3 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2021–2024) — Third Generation Restyling 1
The facelifted third-generation BMW X3 combines a practical five-door SUV body with several powertrain choices. Your driving routine and equipment priorities will help you narrow down the version that suits you.
BMW X3 engine choices include the diesel 20d xDrive, gasoline 20i xDrive and plug-in hybrid 30e xDrive. Diesel generally suits regular longer journeys, while gasoline is a straightforward option for mixed driving. These examples all pair an automatic transmission with all-wheel drive, easing everyday driving and helping traction.
BMW X3 trim levels describe equipment choices alongside the technical version. The gasoline M40i xDrive, with automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, has configurations named M-Sport and Exclusive. When choosing, check the individual car’s seats, driver assistance and convenience features, since a trim name alone does not establish every fitted option.
The 30e xDrive uses a lithium-ion battery for its plug-in hybrid system. BMW X3 battery capacity helps you judge its potential for electric driving, but usable range also depends on temperature, speed and heating use. Regular charging makes electric journeys more practical, while the gasoline engine supports longer trips.
