Everyday practicality
Diesel efficiency stands out for its class.

AWD
BMW X3 xDrive20d
A well-rounded diesel AWD SUV for growing families and road trips, pairing efficient consumption with usable space. Performance is adequate rather than sporty, and cargo capacity is good but not class-leading.
Is this car right for you?
Best for
