2025 BMW X3 20 xDrive G45 Auto AWD.

This 2025 BMW X3 20 xDrive brings together the practicality of a family-sized wagon with BMW’s familiar focus on driver engagement. As a demo vehicle with 6,580 km, it presents the current G45-generation X3 in a specification that places a strong emphasis on comfort, technology and everyday usability.

Power comes from a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine paired with an 8.0 kW electric motor. The petrol engine produces 140 kW and 310 Nm, while the electrified assistance is designed to support smoother progress and efficiency. BMW quotes combined fuel consumption of 7.5L/100km, with the system using regenerative braking to replenish its compact lithium-ion battery. An eight-speed Sports Automatic transmission sends drive through xDrive constant all-wheel drive, providing the all-weather traction expected of a premium SUV-based wagon.

The X3’s dimensions make it a useful option for regular family and cargo duties without moving into a larger vehicle class. There is seating for five, five doors and a luggage area offering 570 litres with the rear seats in use, expanding to 1,700 litres when maximum load space is required. A luggage-compartment net and hands-free boot further support practical loading, while the roller sunblinds for the rear side windows and sun-protection glazing add welcome consideration for rear passengers.

This example is fitted with the M Sport package, giving the cabin and exterior a more purposeful presentation. The specification includes M Sport exterior and interior parts, a leather M steering wheel, Fine-Brushed Aluminium interior trim, an anthracite headliner and M High-Gloss Shadow Line detailing. Nineteen-inch alloy wheels complete the exterior treatment, while the sports steering wheel keeps the driver-focused character evident from behind the wheel.

Comfort equipment is particularly comprehensive. Heated front and rear seats are complemented by active front-seat ventilation and steering-wheel heating, making the cabin better suited to changing Australian conditions. Electric and memory seat adjustment, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror and auto-dimming door mirrors add convenience during regular use. The panoramic glass roof brings extra light into the cabin, while the Harman Kardon surround sound system gives the audio system greater presence for longer journeys.

Technology is centred around BMW Live Cockpit Professional, with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth connectivity, wireless device charging and a head-up display included. These features help keep navigation, communication and media access readily available while reducing the need to look away from the road. The vehicle also includes an interior camera and integrated dash cam, adding useful monitoring capability to the broader equipment package.

Parking Assistant Plus and automatic parking assistance are valuable additions for urban manoeuvring, particularly when working with the X3’s larger footprint. Safety and driver-support features include adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, lane departure warning, road-sign recognition and brake assist. LED headlights, remote keyless entry, remote access via app and an alarm system add further convenience and security.

With its constant all-wheel-drive system, flexible luggage capacity, premium cabin equipment and broad suite of connectivity and driver-assistance technology, this X3 is configured as a versatile premium wagon for daily transport and longer-distance travel. Its combination of a turbocharged petrol engine, mild electrification and carefully specified comfort features gives the G45-generation model a well-rounded character.

Other highlights include Powertrain: Petrol - Premium ULP; Engine or motor: 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder petrol with 8.0 kW electric motor.
