BMW X3 xDrive30i SportX launched at INR 56.50 lakh

BMW has launched the X3 xDrive30i SportX, priced at Rs 56.50 lakh (ex-showroom, India) and is the latest addition to the X3 line-up in India. The new variant is locally produced at BMW’s plant in Chennai and is the new entry point to the X3 range in India.

Further, if you purchase this new BMW X3 before midnight on February 28, 2021, BMW will be offering you benefits worth up to INR 1.50 lakh. These benefits include BMW Service Inclusive Package and exclusively curated BMW Accessories Package. The former covers all maintenance work, including any BMW Original Parts and oil requirements for 3 year/ 40,000 km. Meanwhile, the latter additionally brings in a the BMW Display key, 2.5PM air filter, LED door projectors and universal wireless charger.

Under the hood lies a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbo-petrol that puts out 252hp and 350Nm of torque. This engine comes paired to an 8-speed automatic gearbox and power is sent to all four wheels via BMW’s xDrive all-wheel-drive system. BMW claims that the X3, in this configuration, can do the 0-100kph sprint in 6.3sec.

BMW also offers the X3 with a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine in the xDrive20d Luxury Line variant.

In terms of features, the xDrive30i SportX comes pretty well equipped. It gets an 8.8-inch infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support, a 5.7-inch MID display, three-zone automatic climate control, LED headlight, tail-lights and fog lights, automatic headlights and wipers, a panoramic sunroof, 18-inch alloy wheels and much more.

However, as it’s the new entry-level model, there are a few things the new SportX trim misses out on compared to the top-spec Luxury Line, which gets equipment like adaptive LED headlights, dynamic damper control, 16-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, wireless charging, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 10.25-inch infotainment system and larger 19-inch wheels, to name a few.
