BMW Unveils 2025 X3 SUV in Tanzanite Blue, Diesel and Hybrid Powertrains

BMW has unveiled the 2025 X3, a sleek SUV that stands out in a deep blue Tanzanite II Metallic paint, one of the brand's iconic colors. This model caters to various markets, offering both diesel and hybrid powertrains.

The 2025 BMW X3 40d xDrive, sold primarily in Europe, the Middle East, and select Asian markets, boasts a mighty 3.0-liter inline-six diesel engine paired with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. This combination delivers an impressive 303 horsepower and a whopping 670 Nm (495 lb-ft) of torque. Despite its power, it maintains an official WLTP combined consumption of 6.7 L/100 km. Performance-wise, it accelerates from 0-100 km/h in just 5.4 seconds and reaches a top speed of 245 km/h (152 mph).

For those who prefer a plug-in hybrid, the 2025 BMW X3 is also available in Europe. Meanwhile, BMW Germany offers an entry-level 2025 X3 20d xDrive variant, featuring a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine producing 197 horsepower and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) of torque. The X3's muscular rear haunches are amplified by its clean surfacing, and it comes in a range of colors, including Vegas Red Metallic and Arctic Race Blue Metallic, along with various shades of gray and white.

The 2025 BMW X3, with its striking Tanzanite Blue II Metallic paint and powerful diesel engine, is set to make a mark in markets where diesel remains popular. Its impressive performance and efficiency make it a compelling choice for SUV buyers in Europe, the Middle East, and select Asian markets. However, U.S. customers will not have access to the 40d xDrive variant.
