BMW X3 Business & Personal Car Leasing Offers

The BMW X3 was first introduced in 2003 as BMW’s first mid-size SUV, expanding the brand’s X range beyond the larger X5. It helped establish what has become one of the most competitive and popular segments in the market. The second generation followed in 2010 with improved interior quality and more efficient engines, while the third generation, launched in 2017, introduced a more angular design and upgraded onboard technology.

Today, the X3 sits at the centre of BMW’s SUV line-up, positioned between the X1 and X5. The latest fourth generation builds on this with a redesigned exterior, a fully updated cabin featuring BMW’s curved display and latest iDrive system, and a wider choice of petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid powertrains. It remains a key model for both BMW X3 business lease and BMW X3 personal lease customers, offering a well-balanced mix of performance and comfort across the range.

Key Specifications

Engine & Performance

The BMW X3 is available with a choice of four engines, including petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid options. Petrol and diesel models use 2.0-litre turbocharged engines, offering a balance of performance and efficiency, with smooth and refined power delivery.

The X3 xDrive30e plug-in hybrid combines a 2.0-litre petrol engine with an electric motor, producing up to 299bhp. It offers an all-electric range of up to 56 miles (WLTP), helping to lower fuel costs and CO2 emissions. This makes it a strong option for BMW X3 business lease customers, particularly those looking to benefit from lower Benefit-in-Kind tax rates.

All models are paired with an automatic transmission, with xDrive all-wheel drive available across much of the range. The X3 delivers a refined and composed drive, supported by well-judged suspension.

Exterior Features

The BMW X3 features a more sculpted and modern design, with a wider kidney grille and slimmer LED headlights giving it a sharper front-end appearance. Clean body lines and a more defined rear profile help give the X3 a stronger road presence, while maintaining the proportions expected from a mid-size SUV.

All models benefit from LED lighting as standard, with larger alloy wheels and gloss exterior detailing available on higher trim levels. M Sport models introduce more aggressive styling elements, including sportier bumpers and distinctive trim finishes, while the overall design remains refined and understated.

Interior Features

Inside, the BMW X3 centres around the brand’s curved display, which combines a digital instrument cluster with a central infotainment touchscreen running the latest iDrive system. The layout is clean and driver-focused, with physical controls kept to a minimum and key functions easily accessible.

High-quality materials are used throughout the cabin, with supportive seating and a strong level of standard equipment. Features such as heated seats, ambient lighting and dual-zone climate control are available across the range, helping create a comfortable environment for both driver and passengers.

The X3 also offers practical interior space, with seating for five and a generous boot capacity of up to 570 litres. Folding rear seats expand this further, making it suitable for both everyday use and longer trips.

Safety Features

The BMW X3 includes a comprehensive range of driver assistance and safety systems designed to support everyday driving. Standard features typically include front collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning and traffic sign recognition.

Additional systems such as adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring and parking assistance are available on higher specifications. Parking sensors and a reversing camera help with manoeuvring, while BMW’s driver assistance technology works in the background to provide added confidence on the road.
