How much horsepower does the BMW X3 have?
2 Answers
BMW X3 is equipped with a B48 2.0T engine, with three different power outputs depending on the model: 184 horsepower (xDrive-25i), 224 horsepower (xDrive-28i), and 252 horsepower (xDrive-30i). Below is a related introduction to the BMW X3: 1. Exterior: The exterior of the new car remains consistent with the 2019 model, still featuring two design packages: the Luxury Design Package and the M Sport Package. The side and rear of the car are also identical to the current model. In terms of dimensions, the new car measures 4717/1891/1689mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2864mm. 2. Configuration: The most significant change in the 2020 model is the upgrade of the xDrive25i series to a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel, making it standard across the entire lineup. Additionally, the new car now includes front seat heating, while the in-car CD player has been removed, and the 9-speaker audio system is no longer optional. The xDrive28i series adds features such as a hands-free tailgate, front seat heating, Harman/Kardon audio system, and a 16-speaker setup.
I've driven the BMW X3 a few times, and the horsepower is really impressive. The base model xDrive30i has around 248 horsepower, which makes for a smooth drive—quick acceleration in the city and solid stability on the highway. If you opt for the high-performance M40i, the horsepower jumps to 382, delivering an intense push-back feeling and a 0-100 km/h acceleration in under 5 seconds, significantly boosting the driving fun. That said, for regular family use, 248 horsepower is more than enough—it's fuel-efficient and practical, especially paired with BMW's all-wheel-drive system, which adds safety in rainy or snowy conditions. Just remember, high-horsepower cars require extra attention to engine oil and tires during maintenance. I recommend regular engine checks—don't get too caught up in speed and neglect routine upkeep.
