BMW India have launched the 2022 X3 Facelift in India in two variants - SportX Plus, priced at Rs. 59.99 lakh, and M Sport, priced at Rs. 65.90 lakh (ex-showroom). The German carmaker will introduce a diesel engine in the X3 at a later stage.

Talking about the exterior changes, the new X3 comes with a redesigned yet sizable kidney grille, updated LED Matrix headlights, reworked bumpers, 19-inch M Sport alloy wheels, and new LED tail lights. Buyers also get the option to upgrade to 20-inch alloy wheels. The top-spec M Sport trim gets sportier bumpers, larger air intakes, an M Sport steering wheel with paddle shifters, and an M Sport alloy wheel design.

On the inside, the new X3 offers a bigger 12.3-inch floating xDrive infotainment system. Other changes include redesigned AC vents, updated center console and updated air-con controls. On the features front, the 2022 X3 offers a panoramic sunroof, digital instrument cluster, paddle shifters, adaptive dampers, multi-drive modes, and 3-zone climate control.

On the powertrain front, BMW currently offer a 2.0L turbo petrol engine. It produces 252PS of power and 350Nm of torque. Both the SportX Plus and M Sport come equipped with an 8-speed torque converter automatic transmission and 4-wheel-drive as standard. Along with the 4-wheel-drive, the X3 also offers electrically-lockable front and rear differentials for off-road situations. BMW India will launch the diesel variants of the X3 that will come powered with a 2.0L diesel engine, borrowed from the 3-Series.

2022 BMW X3 takes on the likes of the Mercedes-Benz GLC, Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, Volvo XC60, and Audi Q5. The latter two rivals of the X3 recently received a mild facelift. Both the Volvo XC60 and Audi Q5 are now only available with a petrol engine whereas the GLC and Evoque get both diesel and petrol options.
