New X 3 is an excellant SUV

Exterior Great outer looks -just like X 5 -good road looks.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) All excellant-some times miss out on the 3'rd back seats with a big -over 5 family-types.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Mileage in city is 10-11 kms. Highways in 14-15 kms. pickup & sports mode is v good. But Diesal noise from outside is slightly more than usual. In city conditions with 8 gear box-smooth & silky. Automatic 4 wheel drive is a boon on highways & rough conditions.

Ride Quality & Handling Excellant ride quality. Smooth pick up-great to drive on your own. Only draw back can be-engine of X3 & X1 is the same even tho prices are quite different tho body wise its of course quite different & X 3 is way better-road presence wise.

Final Words Summing up- Ideal SUV for India & better than Audi Q5 in all respects.

Areas of improvement NA.

Great looks, Good mileage, V Good pick up, Driving pleasure-Great.No stepney/ extra tyre-But runs on flat tyre technology But in Indian conditions-may not be ideal.
