Engine Options 

New BMW SUVs are motivated by powerful engines, and the BMW X3 isn’t an exception in this regard. The SUV’s base powerplant is a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four engine that produces 248 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. This engine pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission and either rear- or all-wheel drive. 

A turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine is the vehicle’s other powerplant, and it’s coupled with a 48-volt mild hybrid system. Total system output is 382 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. This engine also relies on an eight-speed automatic transmission for gear shifts, but it pairs with all-wheel drive exclusively. 

Hands down, the BMW X3 is one of the most enjoyable vehicles to drive in its competitive class. The SUV’s handling is best described as athletic and engaging. A pliant suspension maintains the serenity of the cabin while the SUV’s sharp steering makes driving on winding roadways a pleasure. 

Cabin Space 

Despite its classification as a compact luxury SUV, the BMW X3 has plenty of room for passengers and gear. The BMW X3 can accommodate five adult passengers across two breezy rows. Passengers in the front have 40.3 inches of legroom while second-row travelers have 36.4 inches to stretch their legs. 

Behind the second row, you’ll have access to 28.7 cubic feet of cargo space. Folding the back seats increases the SUV’s cargo capacity to 62.7 cubic feet. Do you need to transport larger items? That’s not a problem because the BMW X3 can tow up to 4,400 lbs with the right equipment.
