BMW X3 Review

The third-gen BMW X3 looks like a slightly smaller X5, which is not a bad thing at all. There is a link to other BMWs on the inside too and cabin quality is up there with the 5 Series. The X3’s cabin is fairly roomy and space at the back is good too, but the rear seat could have been more supportive.
The 190hp, 2.0-litre diesel engine is the mainstay of the X3 range. The engine is relatively free-revving and offers strong mid-range punch. On the flip side, low-speed responses aren’t the liveliest and the engine also gets noisy if you extend it. The 252hp, 2.0-litre petrol is a strong performer. The X3 can feel a bit lumpy on broken roads but ride quality, on the whole, is good. Even better is the handling. The good steering and nice balance make this an SUV you can really drive with verve.
