The new 2025 BMW X3 has tremendous shoes to fill. The last generation was one of the brand\u2019s best offerings, and it put up the sales figures to prove it. Despite debuting way back in 2017, it was the brand\u2019s best selling single model in 2023<\/a>, accounting for over 15% of the brand\u2019s overall sales. For 2025, BMW introduced the next installment in the X3\u2019s legacy. With the model doing so much of the heavy lifting on the sales side, it\u2019s critical that the new one does everything better than the old one. After spending a week with one, our takeaway is best summarized as \u201cit\u2019s complicated.\u201d<\/p>\n

First Impressions and Design Choices<\/h3>\n

Walking up to the 2025 BMW X3 for the first time evokes several different emotions. The new X3 is one of the last BMW models to reflect the brand\u2019s shift from traditional grilles. It\u2019s hardly the most alien design we\u2019ve seen from the brand, but it\u2019s also a far cry from the very <\/em>familiar face of the G01 X3 that came before it. The narrower headlights and less angular air inlets in the bottom of the front bumper lead to a face with generous negative space. It\u2019s not as immediately handsome as the G01; but taste is subjective. Around back, narrower tail lights and the lack of an exhaust tip lead to similar sentiments as the front. Minimalist to the max.<\/p>\n
