BMW X3 Review: A budget X5?!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

This is the BMW X3!
It received a mid-life facelift in late 2021, and Mat’s about to find out whether the M-Sport plug-in hybrid edition still stands the test of time against newer competitors such as the new Mercedes GLC & Genesis GV70.
Well for starters, let’s check out the design. It’s relatively similar to the original X3, but there are a couple of design changes. Around the back, there are updated 3D-effect taillights, some real exhaust tips and an updated diffuser (which to be honest, is likely to have little to no effect). Around the side, there are bold creases across the doors and protruding side skirts to help with the sporty looks, and upfront there’s an updated bumper and a few new vents. Naturally, though, there’s a huge grille up front, which doesn’t do much for the looks.
Step inside and there are only a few changes to the original X3. There’s an updated infotainment screen and full digital dials; otherwise, it’s all the same. That’s not such a bad thing, but when you consider newer BMWs come with a full-length, curved infotainment/dial screen, this already seems a bit outdated. Thankfully there are quality materials throughout most of the cabin, although if you reach a bit lower you may be met by some scratchy plastics.
In this video, we’ve got our hands on the xDrive30e. It’s powered by a 2-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with an electric motor, which combines to deliver 292hp and 300Nm. BMW claim it will hit 60mph in 6.1 seconds, and it comes in at a cost of around £56,000.
The BMW X3 range starts from around £47,000. But should you still choose it over the competition? And if you’re in the market for a plug-in hybrid SUV, is it really the smart choice instead of the newer GLC? Stick with Mat and see for yourself!

    People seems to be 50/50 on this. I think the new curved screen looks horrible, but some friends like it. The issue is that for many people its so bad that they will just not upgrade and BMW will loose sales om it aswell due to their exterior design. Which in turn might get Germany into a recession. Mercedes, BMW could easily make great designs that would sell like crazy but insteas they are having some screen-fetisch at the moment. German buttons are better than Chinese. Germans screens wont be. BMW should have two options. One more traditional setup and one more high tech.

    I've had my G01 LCI M40i for a little over a year now. I love it. No major complaints. The B58 is perfect for it. Handles fine. Suspension is decent, unlike the M's which are brutal. No complaints about the interior or exterior styling. I love the exterior styling. The interior is fine. My only complaint comes from the seats. My back doesn't like them. I have the heated and cooled seats. Wish the massaging seats from the M550 were offered. I got spoiled by those and I want them back. Otherwise, I'm pretty happy with the vehicle. I could do without the "mild hybrid" 48V BS and the resulting Auto start/stop, but otherwise, all good.

    I've been driving this exact same car, same colour, same hybrid version since October 2021. So, here's my take on it. Brilliant!!! I even have the real M-Sports seats (not these standard seats shown here), which are a delight, both optically and from a comfort aspect. The engine, in Sport Mode, with that extra battery power to boost acceleration, is really amazing. Top speed? Well, I live in Germany so am often on the Autobahn. 200kph is no problem and the car sits like it's stuck to the road. Handling is good, interior is pleasing and very functional, I agree that the front is not the most attractive car on the road. Negatives? The battery range is crap. However.... The displayed battery range depends on how you have driven the car before depleting the battery. If you were pedal to the metal all the time, the range after the next charge will be crap. If you were driving conservatively, accelerating slowly and using the cruise control, you will get a displayed range of over 40 km. What you won't ever get is the advertised 55 kms. My last car was the 2 litre X3 diesel. The car before that was the 3,5 litre 4 Series Grand Coupé. I do have some small complaints, but on the whole am very happy. Oh yeh, I test drove the Mercedes GLC 300e Plug in Hybrid. Full battery, in October, 19 degrees C ambient temperature. Range, 19 kilometers. Yes, Mercedes bullshits too!!!

    The hybrid version is nice but regardless of the ICE version you compare it with, you will lose comfort and agility due to the additional weight. Additionally you only feel the power/acceleration of the hybrid when in sport mode, when in comfort acceleration is very slow because it always starts in electric only mode

    Matt, I'd like to see your take on Mazda CX-60. With inline 6 (or even hybrid), rear wheel drive or awd with rear bias, most motoring journalists call it Japanese X3. Some even said it is nicer to sit in than in Genesis, as you mentioned it in this video. But so far I haven't seen a video with brutal practicality honesty as you do.... Heck, maybe even do a comparison test of X3, GLC, CX-60 and Genesis!

    Got the ix3 that looks identical and honestly love this car. It's well built, the styling is old fashioned which for me is a positive and the amount of buttons inside is a dream (I'm old fashioned like that). Like how the front looks too and it drives better then the x5 - it just handles better and more fun. My lease is up next year and I'm most likely going to keep the car forever and get something like a used 2017 x5 for my off roading needs. Ive never had the feeling that I would want to keep a car until this one so fingers crossed nothing breaks before (or after) the next year haha!

    @@v12-s65 As an hardcore Alfa Romeo fan and Giulia lover I'd personally take the Stelvio, no doubt, if I was forced to drive an SUV. However the new X3 is based on the BMW G20, which is a project I respect a lot, and the Macan has the PDK and well it's just a 2013 MLB platform car, but somehow it feels like it isn't. So I'm just curious about seeing them underneath, what technical solutions they adopted.

    I came from a 981 Cayman S that I had driven daily for 10 years to an X3 M40i. I'm so impressed with the car, it's the perfect blend of practicality, comfort, and performance when you need it. Sure it doesn't quite have the poise and fun handling of the Cayman, but it's so much easier to live with in a 1 car garage. I was worried about reviewers saying the ride was harsh, to me on terrible Scottish road surfaces it's really comfortable without being wafty, really quiet on the interior too. Love that this model has proper buttons rather than touchscreen everything. Only thing I really miss is the Burmeister Stereo from the Porsche, the Harman Kardon isn't even close to that (although that was a £3k option so can't expect it to be. I cross shopped with a Macan S / GTS, and the BMW was £20-30k cheaper with similar options, a no brainer.
