BMW X3 2018

FROM
$29,700

The 2018 BMW X3 range of configurations is currently priced from $22,999.

Our most recent review of the 2018 BMW X3 resulted in a score of 8.1 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Deputy Editor James Cleary had this to say at the time: BMW has form when it comes to performance SUVs, in the shape of M versions of its larger X5 and X6 models. And it has expertly applied that experience here. The X3 M40i is properly quick and dynamically sharp, yet comfortable, refined, and most of all practical when it needs to be. The price tag is large for a compact SUV, but the M40i's quality, value and all-around ability justify it.

Check out real-world situations relating to the BMW X3 2018 2018 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.
What car should I buy for $70,000?

You’ve pretty much covered the field there, so it should come down to what you want from your car. Do you want comfort, safety, fuel efficiency, offroad capability, cabin space? If you are mostly driving on the highway, then a diesel SUV is probably the best bet. I would rule out a dual-cab ute because of comfort, unless you need the flexibility a ute gives you. I would rule out a hybrid, they’re not at their most efficient on the highway; they’re better suited to town use. Based on your annual mileage I wouldn’t keep the car any more than 3-4 years, that way you’ll have a decent resale value when you get out of it.
