The BMW X3 is now in its third generation and is probably one of the best SUVs on the road currently. The first X3 arrived back in 2003 with the second version in 2010. While it was an improvement, it wasn't quite enough to make its way to the top of a pile that was beginning to look increasingly crowded. This third-generation BMW X3 arrived back in 2018 and hs recently had an update in 2022, with this car sitting above the more compact X1 and below the larger X5 and X7 in BMW's range of SUVs. Despite all models featuring four-wheel drive, the BMW X3 shouldn't be considered as a go-anywhere off-roader. The focus instead is very much on a versatile family car that delivers an engaging drive and is happiest on the open road or a motorway. However, If you're set on an SUV but still want something entertaining to drive, then the BMW X3 is the cats whiskers compared to rivals like the Audi Q5, Volvo XC60 and Mercedes-Benz GLC.
The interior of the BMW X3 is befitting of a luxury SUV. There's plenty of space and the quality of finish and materials used is excellent. You'd be hard pushed to find a nicer quality interior in a premium mid-sized SUV to be honest.
The boot space in the BMW X3 is also very good at a roomy 550 litres, though if you opt for the plug-in hybrid version, the boot shrinks down to 450 litres to accommodate the additional batteries. There's also plenty of tech with the BMW X3, with the latest cars sporting a large 12.3-inch touchscreen and a fully digital dash. The infotainment system is one of the best around, especially if you use the intuitive iDrive interface to work your way around it.
The BMW X3 is an easy car to recommend. It drives well, the interior quality is excellent, there's a very spacious cabin, a decent boot and plenty of engine options. Add in the fact it comes with a decent range of standard kit, it's well worth a test drive.
