CarWale's Opinion

Good Things	New platform and modern features than its predecessor Powerful engine an option of mild-hybrid system Available in long-wheelbase body style	Comfortable ride quality Premium cabin Refined motor and sorted ride
Could be Better	Has gotten expensive over the older car Nine-speed gearbox is too slow for an engaging drive 300d misses out on key features despite the high cost	No keyless entry Heavy steering at low speeds Rear seat lacks enough thigh support

BMW X3 20d Luxury Line First Drive Review

By Santosh Nair2 years ago

You’re eyeing the new 2018 BMW X3 that was launched in April this year. BMW unveiled this third-generation X3 at the 2018 Auto Expo and it is based on the CLAR platform. Its aluminium-intense construction allows it to be 55kg lighter than its predecessor. The new X3 is currently being offered in the xDrive 20d (Expedition, xLine and Luxury Line), and the xDrive 30i (only Luxury Line) variants.
