2025 BMW X3 40d xDrive G45 Auto AWD

This 2025 BMW X3 40d xDrive combines the practicality of a five-door wagon with the long-distance capability and confident traction of BMW's constant xDrive system. As a demonstrator with 6,560 km, it presents the current-generation X3 in a highly specified configuration, while retaining the strong visual presence of the G45 series.

Power comes from a 3.0-litre turbo-intercooled six-cylinder diesel supported by a 13.0 kW electric motor. The system produces a combined 223.0 kW, with 650 Nm of diesel torque available between 1,500 and 2,500 rpm. An eight-speed sports automatic transmission manages the output, and the vehicle's 6.6L/100km combined fuel-consumption figure gives it a useful balance between performance and touring efficiency. The stated 2,200 kg braked towing capacity also adds genuine utility for owners who need to move a trailer or recreational equipment.

The X3's wagon body provides a useful 570 litres of load space behind the rear seats, expanding to 1,700 litres when maximum carrying capacity is required. A hands-free boot, trailer tow hitch and rear-side roller sunblinds strengthen its everyday practicality, while the five-seat layout preserves the flexibility expected of a family-sized SUV. The panoramic glass roof brings additional light into the cabin, complementing the anthracite headliner and fine-brushed aluminium interior detailing.

This example is equipped with the M Sport package and M Sport Package Pro, giving the exterior and cabin a more purposeful character. Alpine White paint is paired with 21-inch M light-alloy wheels in Star-spoke style 1037 M Jet Black matt, M Sport exterior parts, a leather steering wheel and M-specific interior elements. The M Lights Shadow Line and extended High-Gloss Shadow Line treatment provide a darker contrast to the bright body colour.

Comfort equipment is extensive. Front active seat ventilation and front and rear seat heating help tailor the cabin to changing conditions, while electrically adjustable seats with memory functionality make it easier for different drivers to establish a preferred position. The BMW Iconic Glow Exterior Package adds a distinctive lighting detail, and the alarm system contributes an additional layer of security.

Technology is centred on BMW Live Cockpit Professional, with a head-up display helping keep key driving information within the driver's sightline. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth connectivity and wireless device charging provide straightforward access to navigation, media and communications. The Harman Kardon surround sound system is suited to longer journeys, while the interior camera and integrated dash-camera capability add useful monitoring functions.

Parking Assistant Plus, automatic parking assistance and the hands-free boot make manoeuvring and loading less demanding. The safety specification also includes adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assistance, lane-departure warning, brake assist, road-sign recognition and LED headlights. Together with the all-wheel-drive system and performance brakes, these features give the X3 a broad range of useful capability without compromising its premium touring focus.
