BMW‘s lineup in the United States continues to grow as the company is reporting preparing to launch a diesel-powered X3 crossover.

Car and Driver reports a BMW executive recently confirmed the news but there’s no word on which engine will be offered in the model. In Europe, the crossover is offered a 2.0-liter four-cylinder that develops 190 PS (140 kW) and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) of torque as well as 3.0-liter six-cylinder with 265 PS (195 kW) and 620 Nm (457 lb-ft) of torque.

The engines will soon be joined by a new 2.0-liter TwinPower Turbo four-cylinder diesel that produces 231 PS (169 kW) and 500 Nm (368 lb-ft) of torque. It is connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission and an all-wheel drive system which enables the model to accelerate from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 6.8 seconds.

There’s no word on when the X3 diesel will go on sale but it will likely arrive sometime after the 540d xDrive which is hit dealerships in February. That particular model is slated to use a 3.0-liter diesel engine that develops 265 PS (195 kW) and 620 Nm (457 lb-ft) of torque.
