In the world’s most populous market, the BMW X3L 2025 is offered in two variants: the 25L xDrive and 30L xDrive. True to its name, this model is significantly larger than the standard BMW X3. Specifically, the new BMW X3L boasts dimensions of 4,865 mm in length, 1,920 mm in width, and a wheelbase of 2,975 mm. Compared to the X3 sold internationally, both the length and wheelbase have been extended by 110 mm.

Meanwhile, the exterior design of the BMW X3L 2025 remains largely unchanged from the standard X3. It features the signature twin kidney grille with vertical slats and an intersecting design, incorporating hidden LED lights. Accompanying these are new LED headlights, dual L-shaped LED daytime running lights, and a redesigned front bumper with a broad central air intake, faux side air intakes, and silver trim accents.

The infotainment system in the X3L runs on BMW’s OS9, offering over-the-air software updates, augmented reality navigation, and access to music, video, gaming, and news apps. Interestingly, the user’s smartphone can be turned into a gaming controller.
Under the hood of the BMW X3L 2025, tailored for the Chinese market, lies a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder gasoline engine. In the 25L xDrive variant, this engine produces 190 hp and 310 Nm of torque. The 30L xDrive version turns up the heat with 258 hp and 400 Nm. Both models are mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission and BMW’s xDrive all-wheel-drive system.
The X3L will be produced by the BMW Brilliance Automotive joint venture at its plant in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, China. While pricing has not yet been announced, it is expected to start at around 150,000 Chinese yuan (approximately 525 million Vietnamese dong).
