2023 BMW X3 xDrive30i

The 2023 BMW X3 is a compact luxury SUV that blends sporty driving with everyday practicality, competing with the Audi Q5 and Mercedes-Benz GLC. The X3 is genuinely fun to drive, with sharp steering and a chassis that makes it feel more like a sport sedan than an SUV. The ride is firm, especially with larger wheels, but that tautness pays off in the X3's composed cornering. Inside, the X3 has a spacious cabin with high-quality materials and an intuitive iDrive infotainment system that owners find easy to use. All-wheel drive and a standard suite of driver aids set the xDrive30i apart from the rear-drive sDrive30i below it. Its 2.0L I4 makes 248 horsepower and pairs with a smooth eight-speed automatic, returning 24 mpg combined in mixed driving. The xDrive30i rides on 19-inch wheels as standard, and the firm suspension is the trade-off for its confident cornering.
