The BMW X3 specifications list three engines, all 2.0 litre in size. The entry petrol makes 190 hp and 310 Nm. The stronger petrol makes 258 hp and 400 Nm. The diesel makes 197 hp with 400 Nm for low end pull. The stronger petrol peaks between 4500 and 6500 rpm.

Every engine drives all four wheels through xDrive. Each uses an eight speed automatic gearbox. There is no rear or front wheel drive only option here. That grip suits both wet roads and light rough stuff. Local assembly at Chennai helps keep the pricing keen. There is no manual gearbox in the range. See how the engines pair with each trim.

Fuel figures follow the engine on the ARAI cycle. The xDrive20d diesel leads at 17.86 kmpl, aided by its torque. The stronger xDrive30 petrol reads 14.61 kmpl. The entry xDrive20 petrol sits at 13.38 kmpl. All are test ratings, so daily use will read lower. The diesel holds a clear economy lead over both petrols. Study the mileage figures.

The dimensions place the X3 squarely in the midsize class. Length is 4755 mm on a 2865 mm wheelbase. Width is 1920 mm and height 1660 mm, giving a broad, upright body. The G45 body is wider and longer than the car it replaced. Ground clearance is a tall 216 mm and the boot holds 550 litres. The tank takes 60 litres and the cabin seats five. The high roofline gives good headroom front and back. Browse the paint choices.

BMW X3 power and torque explained

The BMW X3 gives you a choice of three 2.0 litre engines, each with an 8 speed automatic and xDrive all wheel drive. Two are petrol and one is diesel.

They suit different drivers. The 193 PS petrol keeps things calm around town. The diesel pulls hard from low revs for relaxed highway miles. The 262 PS petrol is the eager one that loves to be revved.

How to read this chart. Torque is the push you feel when you accelerate, and it peaks low on the rev range. Power is how hard the engine keeps pulling as it revs higher, and it peaks further up. The two dots mark those peaks. The shaded strip between them is the flexibility band: a wider band pulls easily across more revs and feels relaxed in traffic, while a narrower band asks you to rev the engine more to get its best. Use the buttons above to compare this car's engines.

Peak figures come from the 2.0L Turbo Petrol spec sheet. The line between the two peaks is not a measured dyno curve.

The 193 PS petrol powers the entry xDrive20 M Sport. Its 310 Nm of torque arrives at just 1500 rpm and holds all the way to 4000 rpm, so it answers quickly in traffic without needing revs. Peak power of 193 PS comes higher up at 4400 rpm, which feels easy rather than urgent. Its torque and power peaks sit 2900 rpm apart, so it keeps up whether you are easing through town or building up to a cruise. Pick it if your miles are mostly city and daily commuting, and you can check the X3 landed cost.

The 2.0 diesel makes a strong 400 Nm, and all of it is on tap from 1500 rpm through to 2750 rpm. That early, low shove lets it pull hard with the family and luggage aboard, and highway overtakes barely need you to drop a gear. Its power peak is low too, at 200 PS at 4000 rpm, sitting just 2500 rpm above the torque peak, the tightest span of the three. So the diesel is at its best low in the revs, where you change up early and let the pull do the work. Choose it if you cover long highway miles or often drive fully loaded.

The 262 PS petrol is the quick one, fitted to the top xDrive30 M Sport Pro. It matches the diesel's 400 Nm but holds it across a far wider range, from 1600 rpm right up to 4600 rpm. So it pulls cleanly from low down and keeps going as the revs rise, which makes fast overtakes simple. Peak power of 262 PS lands at 4500 rpm, the highest and strongest here, so it rewards you for revving it out. Its torque and power peaks are 2900 rpm apart, the same spread as the base petrol but with far more muscle behind it. Go for it if you want the strongest X3, and the full X3 overview walks through the rest.
