Renewed competition in the form of the facelifted Audi Q5 earlier this year, an updated Volvo XC60 that launched recently and a new Mercedes GLC waiting in the wings is also strong motivation from BMW, with tweaks to the tech and looks the main focus here. Its iX and iX3 electric SUVs have received strong ratings recently, but until combustion-engined cars are legislated off the road, BMW won’t completely give up on them, which is why it’s updated its strong-selling petrol and diesel powered X3 premium off-roader. Like many premium players, BMW is pushing ahead with a flurry of fully electric models. The 30d engine is mighty, too, although there’s better value and lower running costs to be explored elsewhere in the range. But at the core of this car is a smooth-riding, refined SUV that handles well and is spacious inside. BMW has improved the X3 in the areas where it needed it, mostly the on-board tech and connectivity, giving the styling and equipment levels a boost at the same time.
