LOWS
Auto stop/start feature is rough-edged, interior design could offer more glamour, puny side mirrors.
VERDICT
Yes, it's an SUV, but the X3 channels its 3-series sports sedan cousin to surprising effect.
Overview
Traditionally, sports sedans have been the vehicles that best projected the spirit of the BMW brand. Not so much anymore. The 2023 X3 SUV edges in on its four-door brethren's territory with a satisfying blend of refinement and driver engagement. As its name implies, the X3 is the crossover equivalent to the renowned 3-series sedan, and it shares its powertrains with that car. Entry-level models are powered by a 248-hp turbo-four while M40i models get a boost from the company's revered 382-hp turbo six-an engine that never ceases to amaze us with its velvety muscle. A handsome exterior design gives the X3 enough curb appeal to fit in among style mavens such as the Genesis GV70 and Volvo XC60. The X3's spacious interior is soberly styled but lined with premium materials and desirable technology. But it's the X3's frisky handling that endears it most to enthusiast drivers like those on our staff and, as an added bonus, its athletic road manners don't compromise its genteel nature when cruising nor its all-around SUV practicality.
What's New for 2023?
Following a light styling refresh last year, the 2023 X3 sees few changes. The remote proximity keyless entry system is now standard across the lineup and the optional Premium package no longer includes gesture controls for the iDrive infotainment system. Skyscraper Grey Metallic paint is now available on four-cylinder 30i models.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
With the 248-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder under its hood, the rear-wheel-drive sDrive30i and all-wheel-drive xDrive30i provide enough power to comfortably negotiate almost any traffic situation, but they're hardly exhilarating. At our test track, the xDrive 30i required 6.2 seconds to reach 60 mph; we haven't tested an sDrive30i model. The Porsche Macan S and the Audi Q5 are both quicker in our testing-the Porsche is substantially so. Those seeking a performance-oriented crossover will find the X3 M40i a lot more to their liking. Its muscular 382-hp turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six-cylinder engine provides almost brutish power, delivering a 4.1-second zero-to-60-mph time in our testing.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
The X3's stylish interior comes well equipped before you check a single option box; 10-way power-adjustable front seats, which include adjustable side bolsters, make it easy to find a comfortable position. Rear-seat occupants are treated to reclining seatbacks, and the cushioning on all seats is plush enough for long journeys. The rest of the X3's cabin is handsome and put together competently, with well-chosen materials and tight panel gaps. The glossy woodgrain trim on our test vehicle looked and felt real despite being plastic; the stitched faux-leather dash and door coverings add an extra element of luxury, as do the nickel-finish metal trim.
Überblick
Sportlimousinen sind traditionell die Fahrzeuge, die den Geist der Marke BMW am besten zum Ausdruck bringen . Nicht mehr so ​​viel. Der 2023 X3 SUV stößt mit einer zufriedenstellenden Mischung aus Eleganz und Fahrerengagement auf das Territorium seiner viertürigen Brüder vor. Wie der Name schon sagt, ist der X3 das Crossover-Äquivalent zur berühmten 3er-Limousine und teilt seinen Antriebsstrang mit diesem Auto. Die Einstiegsmodelle werden von einem 248 PS starken Turbo-Vierzylinder angetrieben, während die M40i-Modelle vom beliebten 382 PS starken Turbo-Sechszylinder des Unternehmens angetrieben werden - ein Motor, der uns mit seiner samtigen Kraft immer wieder in Erstaunen versetzt. Ein ansprechendes Außendesign verleiht dem X3 genug Bordstein-Appeal, um zwischen Stilkennern wie dem Genesis GV70 und dem Volvo XC60 zu passen . Der geräumige Innenraum des X3 ist schlicht gestaltet, aber mit hochwertigen Materialien und begehrenswerter Technologie ausgestattet. Aber es ist das flotte Handling des X3, das ihn bei begeisterten Fahrern wie denen in unserem Team am meisten beliebt macht, und als zusätzlicher Bonus beeinträchtigt sein athletisches Verhalten auf der Straße weder seinen vornehmen Charakter beim Cruisen noch seine Allround-SUV-Praktikabilität.
