Is the BMW X3 Still a Top Contender in the SUV Market?

The BMW X3 has been a staple in the SUV market since its inception. With BMW’s range of SUVs evolving over the years, the X3 has grown in dimensions, now longer and wider than the original X5. Having sold over 1.5 million units worldwide, BMW is looking to continue its success with the latest version of the X3.

Priced lower than the X1 and X5 models, the X3 competes in a crowded market segment that includes rivals like the Audi Q5, Mercedes-Benz GLC, and Land Rover Defender. With options for diesel, petrol, and plug-in hybrid engines, as well as a high-performance X3M model, there is something for every SUV enthusiast.

BMW touts the X3’s design as more confident and off-road inspired, but where it truly shines is on the road. Known for its superior driving dynamics, BMW has set high expectations for the X3. While it may not have been the best in its class historically, BMW is aiming to impress with this latest iteration.
