The X3 has never done BMW much credit, but the current one is a thorough enough job to take on the class best.

Pros
Good ride and handling,
fine engines,
well-finished cabin,
many high-tech options

Cons
Note that word 'options'. And the steering is a bit numb,
not helped by the thick steering wheel

topgear.com

PROS
Good power and response in hybrid mode
Premium styling and high-quality cabin
Plenty of space for adults front and rear
