Why this new-gen SUV is now worthy of being world’s most popular BMW (2025 BMW X3 20 xDrive Review)

The fourth-generation version of BMW’s midsized luxury SUV, the X3, has arrived in Australia with baby-iX looks and refreshed engines. Although sitting on a carry-over CLAR platform and retaining the same wheelbase as its predecessor, the 2025 X3 has a larger body and is significantly different in virtually every area. For now, buyers in Australia have the choice of two turbo petrol, all-wheel-drive models: the 140kW/310Nm X3 20 four-cylinder petrol and 293kW/580Nm X3 M50 six-cylinder. Nathan Ponchard reviews the entry-level variant to discover an X3 that, while not perfect, is arguably the best generation yet.
