2017 BMW X3 Reviews

The M badge here tells you that this is the high-performance member of the new X3 family.

The 30e version of the BMW X3 family SUV doesn’t just fill a medium price-point (in this case $104,100) it’s the model that most fully adopts the mantra of electrification for this model. Instead of a mild hybrid, the 30e goes all the way with a plug-in hybrid driveline based on a 2.0-litre petrol engine, an electric motor and a 19.7kWh battery pack.

The entry-level price-point in the new X3 range, the 20 costs $86,100 before on-road costs and is a full-sized SUV with two rows of seats for a total of five passengers. There’s no seven-seat version.

BMW's X3 has arrived in fourth-generation guise and its bigger than the very first X5! It's also hybrids across the board this time around and it ushers in a bold new design. But is it enough to keep Audi and Mercedes-Benz worried?

There's now quite a choice of premium mid-size SUVs with plug-in hybrid drivetrains. We find out what sets BMW's X3 xDrive30e apart from the pack.

BMW is opening the flood gates on a range of full-electric models, with 12 zero-emissions newcomers set to launch worldwide by 2023. The new iX3 is the first BMW X SUV model to arrive in Australia, and after our first test drive, the biggest surprise is how familiar it feels.

BMW's X3 has never had a really quick version and now, in its third-generation, has two - the M Performance M40i the freshly-bonkers X3 M Competition

How many things can you slap an expensive, storied, respected badge on before said badge starts to feel cheap, common and redundant?

Australians can't get enough SUVs. So it makes sense for BMW to wave its M Performance wand over the compact X3, to produce a quick, capable and entertaining package.

My family and I are heading overseas next week which is very exciting but there is so much to organise. This week I had to sort out all the children's things, finish all my work and get all of the shopping and cleaning and - oh fine - hair appointments done. It's a lot to organise!I was in the BMW X3 sDrive20i for the week, which is the base level in petrol. It's a five-seater mid-size SUV in competition with the Mercedes GLA, Audi Q5 and Alfa Romeo Stelvio. Here's how it did over my super busy week where I spent a lot of time in the car picking things up.
