BMW X3

The BMW X3 is a premium mid-size luxury SUV aimed at buyers who want a balanced mix of performance, practicality, and everyday comfort. It immediately stands out for its refined and powerful turbocharged engines paired with BMW’s xDrive all-wheel-drive system, delivering strong performance and confident handling. At the same time, it offers a spacious cabin, high-quality materials, and a feature-rich interior, making it comfortable for both city drives and long highway journeys. The overall package feels well-rounded and premium for its segment. That said, its high price and relatively firm ride over rough roads could be considerations for some buyers. Overall, the X3 suits buyers seeking a practical luxury SUV that still feels engaging to drive.

BMW X3 Latest Update

Last Updated On 16th Feb'26: BMW has launched a new performance-focused variant of the BMW X3 called the 30 xDrive, priced at Rs 74.50 lakh (ex-showroom). It is powered by a 2.0L twin-turbo petrol engine that produces 258 hp and 400 Nm of torque, sending power intelligently to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox.

Expert Rating

5.0

Interior

4.5

Engine

The BMW X3 continues to be a well-rounded luxury SUV that focuses on delivering a strong balance between performance, practicality, and premium comfort. In everyday use, it offers refined turbocharged engines, confident handling with BMW’s xDrive all-wheel-drive system, and a comfortable, well-built cabin packed with modern tech, making it well suited for both daily commuting and long highway drives. The SUV also provides good space and versatility for family use. However, its relatively firm ride over broken roads and premium pricing compared to some rivals mean it may not suit buyers prioritising outright comfort or value. Additionally, the noticeable use of hard plastics in parts of the cabin feels slightly out of place at this price point. If your priority is a luxury SUV that feels engaging to drive without sacrificing practicality, the BMW X3 remains a compelling choice.
