Why it stands out

The 2021 BMW X3 stands out as a compact luxury SUV that puts driving enjoyment at the centre of the experience. BMW’s formula gives it a sporty feel and a driving character that is closer to a regular car than an SUV, while still delivering the high seating position and easy access buyers expect from the segment. It is also positioned as a more affordable alternative to the larger X5, yet it still aims to deliver the premium features and engaging dynamics associated with the brand.

For 2021, the X3 benefits from the third-generation package that was launched for the 2018 model year, which brought modern technology such as LED headlights, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with the latest connectivity options. That same generation also added adaptive suspension and automatic climate control, and the X3 xDrive30e plug-in hybrid was available in Canada for the 2020 model year with a combined 288 horsepower and 29 kilometres of all-electric range. The broader range included a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with 248 horsepower and an eight-speed automatic transmission in the xDrive30i, while more powerful versions offered a straight-six drivetrain with up to 382 hp or up to 503 hp in the X3 M Competition.

What makes the 2021 BMW X3 especially appealing is the way it combines sharp handling, strong feedback through the sport steering wheel, and plenty of stability through corners and on the highway with genuine family-car practicality. It offers lots of legroom in the rear seats, premium materials inside, BMW’s iDrive touchscreen infotainment system, and, on higher trim levels, luxuries such as upgraded leather upholstery and a panoramic sunroof. The main cautions are that some rivals have more rear passenger space, and owners should keep an eye on electronics systems and make sure any used example has a full maintenance history, with oil leaks and cooling system issues also worth checking.
