BMW launched the X3 facelift<\/a> last June, but India had to wait until last month to get the gasoline model. This week, the lineup was expanded to introduce a diesel variant in the form of the xDrive20d. Sold as the X3 Luxury Edition, the premium SUV is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 190 hp.<\/p>\n

Being an oil-burner, the full amount of torque kicks in early in the rpm, with 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) arriving from just 1,750 rpm. The X3 Luxury Edition needs 7.9 seconds until 62 mph (100 km\/h) and tops out at 132 mph (213 km\/h). Output is channeled to both axles via an eight-speed automatic transmission shared with the gasoline-fueled xDrive30i.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth noting the X3 Luxury Edition technically won\u2019t be pitted against the Audi Q5<\/a> and Volvo XC60 as those two models come in gasoline-only flavors. Instead, BMW will face rivals from Mercedes with the GLC and Land Rover with the Discovery Sport. The Indian-spec model rides on 19-inch wheels and comes with a panoramic sunroof.<\/p>\n

A Lot Of Standard Kit, But The Price Is Rather Prohibitive<\/h3>\n

To live up to its X3 Luxury Edition name, BMW installs electrically adjustable front seats with memory function as standard. The sporty crossover also gets three-zone automatic climate control and a pair of 12.3-inch displays for the instrument cluster and infotainment. To sweeten the deal, the company throws in a 360-degree camera and ambient lighting.<\/p>\n

It should be mentioned BMW makes the X3 for the Indian market locally at the factory in Chennai<\/a>. Mirroring the gasoline model, the diesel gets adaptive LED matrix headlights and LED taillights while carrying over the styling. Other niceties include a Harman Kardon sound system and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity.<\/p>\n

Already available to order, the 2022 BMW X3 Luxury Edition with the diesel costs INR 6,550,000 (about $88,000 \/ \u20ac77,400 at current exchange rates). Available colors include Carbon Black, Sophisto Grey, Black Sapphire, Brooklyn Grey, Mineral White, and Phytonic Blue.<\/p>\n
