Wi-Fi hotspot now standard.No other significant changes for 2021.
Pros Wickedly quick acceleration Grip and handling are excellent Still as practical as a standard X3
Cons Excessively stiff ride, even in the softest suspension setting Tire roar on the highway can be wearing on long drives
For 2021, the X3 M adds newly standard features and some fresh options. Most notably, its infotainment system now includes Android Auto, which had been conspicuously missing. Likewise, a Wi-Fi hotspot and a one-year subscription to SiriusXM satellite radio with 360L are now standard; a matte wood finish is a new interior option. BMW also changes the Competition designation from a model to a package.
Pros As quick or quicker than many sports cars, mind-boggling agility for an SUV, more practical than a sedan.
Cons Ride is stiffer than desired, fewer driver-mode settings would be fine, how much power is too much power?

An all-new Yukon bows for 2021 and it rides on a new platform shared with the Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, but wearing distinct styling. As with the Chevys, the 2021 GMC Yukon will come with an independent rear suspension, a first for the large GM SUVs.While both the rough-and-tumble AT4 and its butch looks and off-road equipment and the luxurious Denali and its hand-stitched leather interior seem the most compelling, the one to go for it actually the well-equipped and more affordable SLT. This mid-range model comes packed with features that most buyers are looking for, including leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, 20-inch wheels, a power rear liftgate, and a suite of driver-assistance features.
