It comes with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (248 horsepower, 5200 rpm), an eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive.
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 resting seatbacks, and the cushioning on all seats is luxurious 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.
BMW’s iDrive infotainment system provides almost a full complement of features except for Android Auto compatibility. Apple CarPlay comes standard. 6.5-inch infotainment display is standard opt for navigation and a much larger and crisper 10.3-inch display replaces it atop the X3’s center stack. Bluetooth phone connectivity and one USB port are ready to serve you on long drives.
