BMW India will start the pre-bookings for the all-new BMW X3 30 xDrive M Sport Pro on January 30 at 12:30 pm. The official launch is set for February 16, 2026.

The high-performance variant of the fourth-generation SUV will be locally produced at the BMW Group Plant Chennai. The premium luxury SUV, known for its dynamic performance and sophisticated design, is set to redefine the mid-size luxury SUV segment with advanced technology, powerful engines, and enhanced comfort features.

A Massive Performance Leap: 254 BHP and Mild-Hybrid Tech

Under the hood, the X3 30 xDrive receives a significant heart transplant. It features a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine now paired with a 48V mild-hybrid system. 1 This setup pushes out a formidable 254 BHP and 400 Nm of torque—a massive jump from the 188 BHP found in the current xDrive20.

This extra power is delivered to all four wheels through BMW’s legendary xDrive all-wheel-drive system, ensuring that the X3 remains the “Ultimate Driving Machine” in its segment.
