BMW India is preparing to launch the all-new BMW X3 30 xDrive M Sport Pro in the Indian market on 16 February 2026. Before the event, the company is in the process of taking pre-launch bookings for the SUV. To be locally manufactured in India, this iteration of the model will be more powerful than the currently available version and will continue to compete against models like Mercedes-Benz GLC, Audi Q5, and Volvo XC60.
The BMW X3 30 xDrive will be powered by a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine. This unit is tuned to produce 258 hp of power and 400 Nm of peak torque. This unit is paired with a 48V mild-hybrid system, which adds 11 hp and 25 Nm. The power will be transferred using an 8-speed automatic gearbox to all four wheels via BMW's xDrive system. With all of this, the X3 will be on par with the competition in terms of powertrain.
